AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 900 PM EDT SUN JUN 15 2003 AREA RADARS SHOW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS PERSIST ACROSS THE CWA. AVAILABLE ENERGY TO FUEL THIS ACTIVITY WILL START TO DIMINISH NOW THAT THE SUN HAS SET. FROM HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S...TEMPS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE MID 80S...RH VALUES REMAIN IN THE 70-80 PERCENT RANGE...WITH WINDS GENERALLY SW AT 10 OR LESS. FORECASTS ARE ON TRACK...NO CHANGES NEEDED. .TLH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. GA...NONE. FL...NONE. AFD PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS ******************************************* CURRENTLY: AFTER A SUNNY MORNING A GOOD CU FIELD HAS PICKED UP THIS AFTERNOON AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE PRESENT IN THE FL AND AL ZONES. TEMPS HAVE REACHED 90ISH FOR MOST AREAS AND WILL LIKELY STAY AT OR BELOW THAT FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON DUE TO THE INCREASE IN CLOUDS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS SHOULD FILL IN FOR THE REST OF THE FA THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK BOUNDARY LINGERS OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND NE THROUGH TENNESSEE...WHILE THE BERMUDA HIGH KEEPS A E-W ORIENTED RIDGE OVER FLA CONTINUING THE SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE GULF STATES. A LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE ABOVE MENTIONED BOUNDARY OVER LA AND MISS. AND MOVE TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES DURING THE WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...A TROPICAL LOW IS LOCATED JUST WEST OF JAMAICA AND IS PROGGED TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE GOMEX BY MID WEEK. 12Z RUN OF GFS MOVES THE LOW DIRECTLY AT THE FL PANHANDLE...AND BY LATE THURS TRACKING OVER THE FL BIG BEND. HPC DIRECTS THIS LOW MORE TOWARDS THE FL BIG BEND AND SOONER. THE TIMING...FROM GFS AND HPC...OF THIS LOW MOVING INTO FL HAS FLIP FLOPPED BETWEEN WED TO THURSDAY TIME FRAME...SO EXACT TIMING OF THIS LOW (IF IT CAN HOLD TOGETHER) IS TOUGH TO PIN DOWN. EITHER WAY..THE MID TO END OF THE WORK WEEK SHOULD SEE UNSETTLED WEATHER. THE FORECAST FOR THE SHORT/MID TERM REMAINS THE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN...BEST CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER LAND IN THE AFTERNOONS AND LINGERING INTO THE EVENING. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS COULD BE SEEN IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...ESP. OVER GULF. MARINE: SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 10 KTS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS WEAK OVER THE N GULF. DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE...COULD SEE WINDS AND SEAS PICK UP MID TO END OF THE WEEK. WILL BEGIN TO BRING UP AND BACK THE WINDS BUT REMAINING BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THIS BROAD SYSTEM. FIRE WX: NO CONCERNS EXTENDED: AS MENTIONED BEFORE THE FORECAST WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHERE, WHEN, AND HOW THIS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS AT THE END OF THE WEEK. TEMPS COULD BE HELD DOWN SOME...WINDS UP AND OBVIOUSLY RAIN CHANCES DIFFERENT. PLANNING TO BUMP UP THE POPS TO LIKELY FOR MID WEEK FOR COASTAL AREAS, FL AND EAST GA ZONES BASED A BLEND OF HPC AND GFS SOLUTIONS. LOOKING TOWARDS THE WEEKEND...KEEPING NEAR CLIMO WITH TEMPS (MAX-LOW 90S, MIN-MID TO LOW 70S) AND DAYTIME POPS (30 TO 40). .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
