FRNT WILL REMAIN N OF OUR AREA...HOWEVER U/L S/W WILL GENERATE STRONG MID LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS OVER AL AND SW/SC GA. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH A COLD -8C POOL OF AIR AT 500 MB AND RR QUADRANT POSITION OF UL JET OVER S GA WILL GENERATE STG CONVECTION AND PSBL WET MICROBURSTS AND ASSOC DAMAGING WINDS. STRONGEST ACTIVITY WILL BE ACROSS SE AL AND SW SC GA EVENING HUORS WHEN SHORT WAVE CLOSEST AND PROPOGATING OUTFLOWS INTERACT WITH LATE STARTING SEA BREEZE.

LATE ARRIVAL OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM NORTH COLLIDING WITH LATE SEABREEZE IN CONJUCTION WITH ENHANCED VERTICAL MOTION WITH TUTT...WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF SVR WX OVER N FL THIS EVNG. LANIER/BLOCK .PREVIOUS... 105 AM EDT MON JUN 28 2004 .SYNOPSIS...MUCH OF THE EVENING CONVECTION HAS WOUND DOWN ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH ONE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS HANGING ON OVER SOUTHERN DIXIE COUNTY. OTHERWISE...MID AND HIGH CLOUDINESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EARLIER STORMS CONTINUES TO DECREASE...SO WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR AREAS OF LOW CLOUD AND FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS HAVE TEMPORARILY SWUNG AROUND TO THE NE...BUT REMAIN VERY LIGHT. && .SHORT TERM...WE STILL HAVE A FAIRLY COMPLEX UPPER LEVEL PATTERN OVER THE REGION...WHICH CONTINUES TO SHOW SUBTLE CHANGES RUN TO RUN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. EARLIER...IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WAS GOING TO HEAD WESTWARD ACROSS THE GULF THEN BUILD OVER TX...ALLOWING THE LONG WAVE TROF TO DOMINATE OVER THE SE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. NOW...THIS RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO PUT ON THE BRAKES OVER THE W GULF...THEN REINFORCE ITSELF EASTWARD AS IT SPLITS INTO TWO CENTERS. THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP THE TROF AXIS FURTHER N...WITH ITS CLOSEST SE APPROACH...AND THUS HIGHEST POPS...EXPECTED TODAY AND TUESDAY...BEFORE A RETURN TO MORE PURE SEA BREEZE CONVECTION FOR THE MID TO END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER...ANY SLIGHT VARIATIONS IN THIS PATTERN COULD RESULT IN MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY OVER THE REGION...SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY. AT LOWER LEVELS...A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED JUST S OF THE REGION TODAY WILL PLAY HAVOC WITH THE MEAN 1000-700 MB FLOW...WITH MOST DIRECTIONS OF THE COMPASS BEING WELL REPRESENTED. OVER LAND HOWEVER...A MEAN W-NW WIND AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS WILL BE MOST REPRESENTATIVE...SO WILL FCST A TYPE 9 DAY. THIS DAY IS TYPIFIED BY A LATER START TO THE CONVECTION DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE BEING HELD INLAND FOR A LONGER TIME, BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY STRONGER STRONGER DUE TO THE ENHANCED UPWARD VERTICAL MOTIONS PRODUCED BY THE OPPOSING SYNOPTIC AND SEA BREEZE FLOWS. IN ADDITION...A DECENT SHORTWAVE TO THE NW WILL MAKE A RUN AT OUR N ZONES LATE TODAY...AND AT THE VERY LEAST...WILL PRODUCE SOME SE PROPAGATING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WHICH MAY MERGE WITH THE SEA BREEZE STORMS. ON TUESDAY...EXPECT A RETURN TO A MORE SW COMPONENT TO THE MEAN WIND...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN HIGHER POPS...BUT SLIGHTLY WEAKER CONVECTION. .LONG TERM...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN...BUT CURRENT FCST WITH GENIALLY 40 PERCENT POPS LOOKS GOOD AT THIS TIME. && .MARINE...NO HIGHLIGHTS...AS THE DIURNAL SEA/LAND BREEZE CIRCULATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE FLOW. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
