246 PM EDT MON JUN 6 2005

...SEA BREEZE WILL DOMINATE AFTN/EVE TSTMS NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT...
THIS EVENING...18Z LAPS SHOWING AN AXIS OF SURFACE BASED CAPE ON THE
ORDER OF 3000-4000J ALONG THE FL/GA BORDER...MAINLY WEST OF JAX. THE
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE HAS ABOUT A 10 KNOT PUSH TO THE WEST WHILE THE
GULF COAST SBRZ EDGING VERY SLOWLY INLD. AM STILL EXPECTING A SBRZ
MERGER ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCTD STRONG
AND ISOLD SEVERE TSTMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR A FEW WET MICROBURSTS AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH SLOW MOVEMENT OF STORMS. ACTIVITY WILL
SIT AND SLOWLY DIMINISH OVER THE INLAND AREAS WHILE COASTAL SECTIONS
WILL HAVE FAIRLY PLEASANT CONDITIONS WITH EASTERLY WINDS THROUGH
SUNSET.
TUE/WED...0 TO 6 KM FLOW WILL REMAIN AT 5 KNOTS OR LESS BOTH
DAYS...AND WILL ALLOW FOR GULF COAST AND ATLC SEA BREEZES TO PRESS
INLAND...THE ALTC SEA BREEZE WILL DOMINATE SLIGHTLY AS HIGHER SFC
PRESSURES OFF THE FL EAST COAST WITH WEAK BERMUDA RIDGE IN PLACE
WILL MAKE INLD AREAS WEST OF I-95 AND EAST OF I-75 THE BEST AREAS OF
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FOR TSTM ACTIVITY. HAVE KEPT POPS SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN THE LIKELY GFS MOS...AND LEANED A BIT CLOSER TO THE ETA
MOS WITH GENERALLY GOOD CHANCE POPS AROUND 50% ACRS THE INLD AREAS.
WITH SBRZ ACTIVITY DOMINATING THERE WILL BE ISOLD STRONG/SVR TSTMS
BOTH DAYS WITH ISOLD WET MICROBURST ACTIVITY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
LAST COUPLE OF GFS MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO BE QUITE CHANGEABLE IN
MEDIUM RANGE FORECAST PERIOD. 0-6 KM ATMOSPHERIC FLOW WILL START OUT
OF THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY WHICH WILL KEEP AFTERNOON POPS IN THE
40-50% RANGE...WITH MODELS DIVERGING THE REST OF THE PERIOD...AND
MUCH OF THE ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTING SOME DRIER AND DEEPER
EASTERLY FLOW SETTING UP FRI AND CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH
SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR DROPPING POPS INTO THE 20-30% RANGE FOR THE
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY PERIOD...AND THE 00Z ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
FORECASTS OF ONLY ISOLATED (20%) COVERAGE ON SATURDAY AS THE DRIEST
DAY DURING THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME. MAX/MIN TEMPS WILL REMAIN NEAR
OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD. ONLY CONCERN AT THE
MOMENT WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES
AS EASTERLY FLOW INCREASES IN THE LOW LEVELS TOWARD THE END OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...WEAK SURFACE RIDGE WILL REMAIN ACROSS AREA THIS WEEK SO
LITTLE CHANGES EXPECTED.  DAILY SEABREEZES WILL INCREASE SE WINDS
NEAR THE COAST.  SEAS WILL INCREASE LATER IN THE WEEK AS SURFACE
RIDGE SHIFTS NORTH AND EASTERLY SWELLS DEVELOP FROM A LONG AND
INCREASING EASTERLY FETCH.
