AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 244 PM EDT SUN JUN 1 2003 ...SHORT TERM... DEWPOINT BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY OF THE STATE LINE CONTINUES TO SLOW ITS SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION AND SHOULD BE ABOUT AS FAR AS IT WILL GO WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...SHOWERS BECOMING A BIT MORE NUMEROUS AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE MID 80S DESPITE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER. AS BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...FEEL SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL FOLLOW SUIT AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ENTER THE PICTURE BY MID AFTERNOON. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...DECENT CAP ON MORNING SOUNDINGS BUT ENOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER LIFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREAK IT AND MAY EVEN PRODUCE ONE OR TWO STRONG STORMS GIVEN STOUT UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW ABOVE 850MB. A SECOND LINE NEAR THE WIND SHIFT ZONE OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA SHOULD ONLY PRODUCE SPORADIC LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THIS EVENING. FOR TONIGHT...MOISTURE AXIS TO RESIDE OVER SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES WITH MINIMAL POPS WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS IN THESE AREAS WITH A GRADUAL TRANSITION TO THE COAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. GUIDANCE A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE POPS FOR TUESDAY AS MID LEVEL MOISTURE GETS IN ON THE ACT INCREASING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER THE AREA. WILL USE A BLEND OF GUIDANCE SINCE THEY SEEM FAIRLY REASONABLE AND ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. ...EXTENDED... THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL REMAIN LARGELY THE SAME AS PREVIOUS FORECAST AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES OVER THE NORTHERN TIER ARE ONLY ABLE TO BRING FRONTS INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA AT BEST. DESPITE THIS... ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS AS WELL AS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE MOISTURE PROFILE IS A BIT MORE FAVORABLE. ...MARINE...
