AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 230 PM EDT SAT JUL 29 2006 ...WET FEW DAYS ON TAP ACROSS LOCAL AREA.... .SYNOPSIS... INCREASING CLOUDS ACROSS LOCAL AREA THIS AFTERNOON. RADAR SHOWED SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS DEVELOPING ALONG OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND DRIFTING N/NW. A FEW STORMS WERE STRONG PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. WITH EARLIER CLOUD DEVELOPMENT...24 HR TEMP/DEW POINT COMPARISON SHOWS THAT LOCAL AIRMASS COOLER AND WETTER THAN SAME TIME YESTERDAY. WINDS GENERALLY S TO W 5-8 MPH. LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...THROUGH TONIGHT...POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY INTO THE PACIFIC NW AND THEN MOVE NE INTO SW CANADA. LARGE MID-UPPER RIDGE RE-ESTABLISHING ITSELF FROM ERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION TO ACROSS MUCH OF PLAINS...MS VALLEY DOWN TO WRN/CNTRL GULF STATES. ACTIVE NRN STREAM WLYS WITH SEVERAL IMPULSES FROM PAC NW NE INTO NRN ROCKIES THEN SEWD ACROSS GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND. LOW AMPLITUDE TROUGH WILL PERSIST ACROSS SE CANADA AND NE CONUS BEFORE DROPPING INTO LONG WAVE TROUGH ALONG E COAST BEGINNING LATE TODAY. ON SUNDAY...PAC NW TROF WILL DROP FURTHER SWD ALONG WEST COAST AMPLIFYING DOWNSTREAM RIDGE AND TROUGH. COLD FRONT SAGGING SE INTO NRN N ENGLAND/LOWER GREAT LAKES REINFORCED BY SEVERAL MCSS OVER WRN/CNTRL GREAT LAKES/NRN MS RIVER VALLEY AND FORMING FOCUS OF CONUS SEVERE WX LATER TODAY. FRONT TO STALL ON SUNDAY FROM SRN N ENGLAND TO SRN NY WNW THROUGH GREAT LAKES TO LOW OVER DAKOTA. AN EASTERLY WAVE EXTENDING FROM SOUTH FLA TO SOUTH OF CUBA WILL MOVE WEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF TONIGHT BUT ITS IMPACT SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF LOCAL WATERS. CLOSER TO HOME...AT UPPER LEVELS...TROUGH DEEPENS DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH SUNDAY SENDING A LOBE OF ENERGY ALONG WITH LOWERING HEIGHTS AND INFUSING DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE INTO OUR REGION THAT STRETCHES OUT ALONG THE GULF COAST. THIS BREAKS DOWN RIDGE THAT HAD BEEN HOLDING SWAY OVER DEEP SOUTH IN RECENT DAYS. AT SURFACE... LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS THE BERMUDA RIDGE AXIS CUTTING EAST TO WEST THROUGH NORTH FLORIDA. AS ABOVE TROUGH DROPS S...RIDGE FORECAST TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTH. WITH SWD SHIFT OF RIDGE...TYPE 1 (LIGHT AND VRBL) SEABREEZE TRANSITIONING TO TYPE 4 (LIGHT WSW) FLOW THIS AFTERNOON ADDED TO WEAK 1000-700MB STEERING FLOW. THIS FAVORS LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ESPECIALLY WHERE BOUNDARY-SEA BREEZE CLASHES OCCUR THIS EVENING. PULSE STORMS WITH WET MICROBURST POTENTIAL AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE LATE AFTN/EVENING. THIS PATTERN ALSO FAVORS FLORIDA COAST BUT WITH DROPPING TROUGH AND LINGERING BOUNDARIES...NRN ZONES ALSO IN BULLSEYE INTO LATE EVENING. 12Z TAE SOUNDING WITH 1.94 IN PWAT...-8 LI AND 3777 CAPE. NEW MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO QUITE UNSTABLE...I.E TAE GFS 18Z SAT AND 00Z SUN WITH 2.09 AND 2.33 IN PWAT RESPECTIVELY. NAM 18Z SAT AND 00Z SUN WITH 2.08 AND 1.92 IN PWAT RESPECTIVELY THIS AFTN AND EVENING. UNMODIFIED CAPES ABOVE 3-4K J/KG AND LIS -6 TO -8 BOTH MODELS. TIME-HEIGHT X-SECTIONS WITH AMPLE MOISTURE TO H7. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. TONIGHT...LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM YESTERDAY YIELDING SEA BREEZE-OUTFLOW INTERACTIONS WITH LATE STARTING SEA BREEZE AND INCREASING UPPER DYNAMICS COULD YIELD HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS IN EVENING. GFS MUCH HIGHER POPS HI SCT S AND LIKELY POPS N. NAM GENERALLY ISOLD-WDLY SCT ACROSS CWA. HARD TO BUY LOWER POPS ESPECIALLY IN EVENING GIVEN ABOVE. WILL GO WITH 60 PCT ACROSS THE BOARD LATE THIS AFTN TAPERING OFF TO MID-HIGH SCT ACROSS FLORIDA THIS EVENING (AWAY FROM SEABREEZE). 4 ZONE ZFP WITH SE BIG BEND SEPARATED FROM REST OF CWA. WILL USE THIS EVENING PERIOD FOR ALL BUT SE BIG BEND. WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE..WILL INSERT AREAS OF FOG N AND PATCHY FOG S LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MORNING. SUNDAY...THE COMBINATION OF THE UPPER TROUGH DEEPENING AND SURFACE RIDGE DROPPING SOUTH ON SUNDAY TRANSLATES TO VEERING WINDS...DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE...INCREASED OMEGA AND GRADUALLY STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WITH DROPPING TROUGH (INCREASING CHANCES FOR WET MICROBURSTS AND HAIL)...H85 JET FROM JUST ALONG COAST NE TO ACROSS CWA....AND ESPECIALLY INTENSITY OF RAIN SUNDAY AFTN/ EVENING. TYPE 4 (LIGHT SW) STEERING FLOW FAVORS LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. ALSO FAVORS FLA COAST ALTHO LINGERING BOUNDARIES AND PROXIMITY OF UPPER TROUGH WILL FUEL CONVECTION IN ALA/GA ESPECIALLY LATER IN AFTN AND INTO EVENING. THIS CLEARLY EVIDENT IN SOUNDING AND TIME HEIGHT X-SECTIONS. I.E. GFS 18Z SUN WITH 2.42 PWAT...2350 CAPE AND -5 LI BUT WITH SOUNDING PROFILE BECOMING MORE MOIST ADIABATIC...WILL DOWNGRADE CHANCES OF SEVERE WX AND ADVERTISE HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE LOCALIZED FLOODING. GFS/NAM IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LIKELY POPS SE ALA/GA ZONES BUT GFS NOTICEABLY WETTER WITH FLA POPS (HI LIKELY VS SCT). GIVEN MODEL SOUNDINGS...HARD TO BET AGAINST WETTER GFS. WILL USE SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS WORDING. MONDAY...UPPER RIDGING BUILDS BACK OVER THE AREA WITH SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL DRYING NOTED ON TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS. HOWEVER...AT THE SURFACE...THE EAST TO WEST RIDGE AXIS WILL SLIP SOUTH TO A POSITION ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA AND REMAINS THERE. TYPE 4 SEABREEZE FLOW CONTS..MAYBE MORE WLY THAN SW. THIS WILL ENSURE MOIST ONSHORE FLOW THROUGH THE PERIOD. FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW PW AT OR ABOVE 2.0 WITH CAPES 3-4K AND LI -6 TO -8. GFS AGAIN MUCH MORE BULLISH WITH HI SCT POPS N AND MID SCT POPS S...NAM WITH NOTICEABLY STRONGER HIGH ACROSS CWA WITH WIDELY SCT POPS. DUE TO THE INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS AND PROSPECTS FOR RAIN WE WILL SEE AFTERNOON TEMPS NEAR OR JUST BELOW CLIMO BOTH DAYS...GENERALLY MID 80S. MAV AS EXPECTED WITH HIGHER POPS IMPLYING MORE CLOUDS SHOWS MAX TEMPS 2 TO 5 DEGREES LOWER THAN NAM EACH DAY. MINS VERY CLOSE. && .LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE GFS FORECAST THE SURFACE BERMUDA RIDGE TO REMAIN NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD. DEEP MOISTURE WILL ALSO REMAIN OVER THE AREA ALONG WITH A FEW UPPER IMPULSES CROSSING OUR CWA. THIS PATTERN SHOULD YIELD A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN...WITH SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS...AND NEAR CLIMO TEMPERATURES. && .MARINE...AS THE SURFACE RIDGE SLIPS SOUTH OF THE WATERS TONIGHT ...WINDS WILL SWING AROUND FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND SEAS LOW THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY...EXCEPT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHERE IFR-MVFR VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS WILL OCCUR. WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 25 KT WILL ALSO OCCUR NEAR THE STRONGER STORMS. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE GREATEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...WDLY SCT ACTIVITY IS LIKELY TO LINGER INTO THE LATER EVENING HOURS. THE RAIN CHANCE AT EACH TERMINAL IS ABOUT 60 PERCENT...WE ARE FORECASTING TEMPORARY TSRA CONDITIONS AT EACH SITE FOR MUCH OF SATURDAY AFTERNOON. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL KEEP MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
