Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 1:00 PM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
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. BEYOND SUNDAY...FORECAST DEPENDS ON FUTURE EVOLUTION OF TROPICAL BLOB OVER YUCATAN. ETA TAKES THE SYSTEM SLOWLY TOWARDS TEXAS BY MONDAY...CANADIAN TAKES STRONGER LOW INTO LOUISIANA SUNDAY NIGHT... AND NOT TO BE OUTDONE...THE GFS DOES BOTH WITH ONE PIECE OF ENERGY MOVING INTO LOUISIANA TOMORROW NIGHT AND ANOTHER PIECE INTO TEXAS BY MONDAY NIGHT.

THIS SHOULD KEEP BULK OF MOISTURE AND FORCING TO THE WEST LEAVING THE SEABREEZE AS THE MAIN CONVECTIVE TRIGGER EARLY IN THE WEEK. GENERALLY WEST OR SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL FAVOR EAST COAST AREAS SO WILL HAVE HIGHEST POPS THERE. LATER IN THE WEEK REMNANT TROPICAL MOISTURE MAY MOVE BACK INTO AREA ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY KEEPING CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST. MARINE...TROPICAL SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN FAR ENOUGH WEST NOT TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON COASTAL WATERS. NO HEADLINES PLANNED. FIRE WX...NO CONCERNS.
