AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 150 PM EDT TUE AUG 15 2006 .SYNOPSIS...MID LEVEL CLOUDS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT ACROSS PARTS OF THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS IS RETARDING THE SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT OVER PORTIONS OF THE BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE. OVER THE NON-AFFECTED AREAS...MUCH STRONGER DIFFERENTIAL HEATING IS TAKING PLACE AND CU FIELDS ARE DEVELOPING. THIS WILL DEFINITELY IMPACT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...AND IT MAY BE DELAYED OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...NE WINDS AT 5 TO 10 KTS ARE HANGING ON BUT SHOULD BE VEERING TO THE SE SHORTLY. && .SHORT TERM...SOMEWHAT MORE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS APPEAR ON THE WAY FOR THE AREA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS THE UPPER LOW OFF THE EAST COAST OF FL HEADS SLOWLY WEST INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE NE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BETWEEN THIS LOW AND THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER TX WILL HELP FUNNEL IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE OVER THE REGION WHICH SHOULD ENHANCE OUR AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION. OF COURSE...THE EVOLUTION OF THE POTENTIAL TROPICAL LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY JUST TO THE EAST OF THE UPPER LOW WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY... ALTHOUGH IT IS INITIALLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAR ENOUGH TO THE NE TO NOT IMPACT THE CWA IN THE SHORT TERM. OVER THE LONGER TERM THAT COULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY...AS SOME MODELS SUGGEST IT COULD HEAD BACK TO THE SW LATER IN THE PERIOD. && .LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...ALLOWING FOR THE GFS SOLUTION IN REGARD TO POTENTIAL TROPICAL SYSTEM OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST... WOULD KEEP FORECAST AREA AWAY FROM DIRECT INFLUENCES. EXPECTING GENERAL SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING FOR THE DAY ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. AT THIS TIME...FORECAST AREA LOOKS TO BE ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE H5 RIDGE WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR MINIMAL CONVECTIVE SUPPRESSION. THIS FORECAST PACKAGE HAS POPS NEAR CLIMO ACROSS THE AREA AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A SLIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW REGIME. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANY PERIODS OF MID-LEVEL DRY AIR THAT MIGHT HINDER CONVECTION...BUT GENERALLY EXPECTING AN ACTIVE SEA-BREEZE EACH DAY. SUNDAY AND MONDAY...GFS BRINGING ANOTHER FRONT DOWN INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. THIS SHOULD AID IN MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO THE REGION AND CONTINUE NEAR NORMAL POPS. ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES CLOSER TO THE FRONTAL CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE MAY ACTUALLY SEE POPS A BIT ABOVE CLIMO...ESPECIALLY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE STILL CENTERED WELL TO THE WEST. && .MARINE...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOW OFF THE CAROLINAS...BUT AT THIS TIME...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TOP REMAIN VERY WEAK ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. && .AVIATION...SOME LOW & MID CLOUDS FILTERING INTO THE AREA AS SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY MOVES INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S...AS WELL AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM DRIFTS SOUTH TO CENTRAL AL TO NORTHERN GA. THIS WILL HOLD SOME OF THE HEATING DOWN THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED MOST OF THE DAY. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS & THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A GRADIENT OF THE HIGHEST CHANCE OVER NORTH FLORIDA...THEN A BIT LATER IN THE DAY OVER SE AL & SW GA. WILL USE TEMPO GROUPS AT KTLH & KPFN...WHILE INITIALLY VCTS AT ALL OTHER SITES. THESE VCTS GROUPS MAY NEED TO GO TO TEMPO GROUPS LATER AS THE CONVECTION DEVELOPS. EXPECTED SOME IFR CEILINGS & VSBY WITH STORMS. OVERALL WIND FLOW WILL BE E-SE 5-10 MPH...WITH SOME ONSHORE FLOW WITH A WEAK SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING ALONG THE COAST. OVERNIGHT...LIGHT WINDS WILL BE SEEN WITH PATCHY FOG & LOW CLOUDS AT KDHN...KTLH...KABY & KVLD. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AS AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN HIGH DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
