AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 200 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2003 CURRENT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING IN COVERAGE AS AFTERNOON HEATING KICKS IN AND MOISTURE SURGES NORTHWARD FROM THE TROPICS. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS VORT MAX ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE CWA. FORECAST GETS TRICKIER ON SUNDAY AS MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE. ETA HAS RELATIVELY NARROW MOISTURE AXIS WHICH IT MOVES INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA FOR SUNDAY WITH SLIGHTLY LESS MOISTURE OVER NORTH FLORIDA. GFS KEEPS BROAD AREA OF DEEPEST MOISTURE ACROSS ENTIRE CWA. AM WARY OF GFS HANDLE OF TROPICAL SYSTEM SO AM LEANING TOWARDS ETA. WITH THIS IN MIND BELIEVE HIGHEST POPS TO BE OVER GEORGIA EARLY WITH SEA BREEZE CONVECTION SETTING UP IN AFTN ALONG EAST COAST.
