AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 225 PM EDT WED AUG 30 2006 .SYNOPSIS...AT 17Z THE COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM EASTERN TENNESSEE SOUTHWEST TO NEAR NEW ORLEANS. TD ERNESTO WAS CENTERED OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVING TO THE NORTH. SO FAR MOST OF THE RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM HAS STAYED SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR FA. A FEW STORMS WERE JUST STARTING TO DEVELOP OVER OUR EASTERN GEORGIA ZONES. THE VAD WIND PROFILE SHOWS VERY WEAK STEERING FLOW SO STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVERS. SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE VERY HIGH RAINFALL RATES SO WE WILL HAVE MINOR FLOODING CONCERNS FOR THE REMINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT... THE GFS SHOWS A CLOSED UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT DROPPING SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DEEPENING THE TROUGH TO OUR WEST. AT THE SURFACE...THE LATEST GFS FORECAST POSITIONS FOR ERNESTO THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE OFFICIAL TPC FORECAST TRACK. THIS TRACK TAKES ERNESTO NEAR MELBOURNE THIS EVENING...ABOUT 100 MILES EAST OF JACKSONVILLE BY 12Z THURSDAY...AND INLAND NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ON THIS TRACK...WE CAN EXPECT ONLY FRINGE EFFECTS WITH SOME OF THE OUTER BANDS OVER OUR EASTERNMOST ZONES...MAINLY THIS EVENING AND THURSDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE... AS THE TROUGH DIGS AND THE TROPICAL SYSTEM DEPARTS WELL TO OUR NORTHEAST...THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO OUR CWA THURSDAY WITH A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS BEING PULLED INTO THE REGION. WILL SHOW 40% POP TONIGHT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SOUTHEAST BIG BEND WITH 50% POP. FOR THURSDAY...CHANCE (30-40%) POPS ALL ZONES WITH NIL TO SLIGHT POPS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH THE DRIER AIR FILTERING IN...WE MAY SEE MIN TEMPS DIP INTO THE UPPER 60S BY FRIDAY MORNING. .LONG TERM...BY FRIDAY...A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL HAVE ESTABLISHED ITSELF OVER THE REGION AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR BELOW AVERAGE POPS FROM FRI THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON... WELL BE TRANSITIONING BACK TO A MORE SW FLOW WHICH SHOULD BUMP MOISTURE UP ENOUGH TO GET SOME SHRA/TSRA GOING WITH THE SEA-BREEZE. TEMPS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED ARE AROUND AVG FOR HIGHS AND JUST BELOW TO RIGHT AROUND AVG FOR LOWS. ALL IN ALL...A GREAT WEEKEND AND START TO NEXT WEEK. && .MARINE...ERNESTO IS FORECAST TO RE-INTENSIFY INTO A TROPICAL STORM SHORTLY AFTER MOVING INTO THE ATLANTIC EAST OF MELBOURNE. AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST...WINDS WILL BACK TO THE WEST AND INCREASE SLIGHTLY OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS. FOR NOW WILL KEEP UNDER HEADLINE CRITERIA. OTHERWISE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE LOW THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA...SO TEMPO GROUPS FOR MVFR VSBYS AND CIGS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AT ALL TERMINALS. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY RESULT IN VERY BRIEF IFR VSBYS AND CIGS... BUT PROBABILITY OF THESE CONDITIONS AT ANY SPECIFIC TERMINAL REMAINS VERY LOW AND THEY WERE THEREFORE NOT INDICATED IN THE TAF. THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE INTO THE EVENING RESULTING IN VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. FOR TOMORROW MORNING...INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR MVFR VISIBILITIES AT DHN...ABY...AND VLD. HOW DENSE THE FOG IS...OR WHETHER IT FORMS AT ALL... WILL LARGELY DEPEND ON WHETHER THE TERMINALS RECEIVE ANY RAIN TODAY AND HOW MUCH OF AN UPPER LEVEL CLOUD DECK FORMS OVERNIGHT. EXPECTING THE VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO THE DAY TOMORROW WITH TYPICAL AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 18Z. && .FIRE WEATHER...DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND BUT MINIMUM RH VALUES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. THE MODELS MAY NOT HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON HOW MUCH DRY AIR WILL FILTER IN AT THE SURFACE SO WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLOSELY FOR POSSIBLE RED FLAG CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
