AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
306 PM EDT SUN JUN 11 2006

.SYNOPSIS...ATMOSPHERE IS SLOWLY MOISTENING AS THE 70 DEG
DEWPOINTS ARE SPREADING NWD AND SHOULD SOON REACH OUR SOUTHERN
TIER. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE SEABREEZE AND NEAR
LAKES AND ARE ALL MOVING NORTHWARD. RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOW SCT
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER CNTRL FL WITHIN DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE. THIS ACTIVITY IS ALSO MOVING NWD AND WILL AFFECT OUR SRN
TIER NLT 3 PM. MAY SEE A FEW STRONG STORMS AS THE ATMOS IS QUITE
UNSTABLE.

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT...T.S. ALBERTOS TRACK HAS SLOWED A BIT AND
DECIDED TO BACK OFF ON LATE NIGHT PRECIP EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTH
PART. OVERALL POPS RANGE FROM SLGT CHANCE IN SE GA TO LIKELY IN
MARION COUNTY. SLY FLOW AND THICKENING CLOUDS SHOULD HOLD TEMPS IN
THE 70S.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...FCST CONTINUES TO BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON
HOW FAST ALBERTO WANTS TO MOVE. NEVERTHELESS...TRPCL MSTR WILL
INCREASE AS WILL THE CONVECTION DURING THE DAY ACCOMPANIED BY
BREEZY WINDS. WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR MUCH OF NE FL
TAPERING TO 40% IN SE GA. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH MON
NIGHT EXCEPT OVER WATER. TEMPS WILL ONLY REACH MID 80S WHERE MOST
PRECIP OCCURS BUT MAY REACH 90 DEG AROUND ALMA AND WAYCROSS.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...ALBERTO IS NOW EXPECTED TO CROSS
N/CNTRL FL DURING THE DAY. SINCE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AND HIGHEST
WINDS ARE ON THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE STORM WILL LOWER POPS
TO CHANCE SE OF A SSI-GNV LINE AND 20% ON THE WEST SIDE. WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL MAINLY BE FELT IN ERN SECTIONS NEAR THE COAST.

.LONG TERM...WED-SUN...THE T.S. WILL EXIT THE SCENE LEAVING BEHIND
TROFFINESS ALONG THE EAST COAST INTO SOUTH GA WITH A WEAK RIDGE TO
OUR SOUTH. SUMMER PATTERN OF AFTN SEABREEZES WITH DIURNAL
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEG ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.MARINE...
QUITE A MESSY FORECAST IN THE COASTAL WATERS AS TPC FORECAST OF
ALBERTO CROSSING THE REGION IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF THE 12Z
GLOBAL MODEL SUITE...SO MADE THE BEST OF IT IN GRIDS WITH THE TCM
WIND GRIDS AND TRYING TO MESH WITH A GFS/NAM BLEND OF WINDS. WITH
MUCH SLOWER PROGRESSION OF ALBERTO WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY SCA FLAGS
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME AND KEPT THE OFFSHORE AT SCEC CONDS FOR
ANOTHER SLY INCREASE TONIGHT. HAVE CAPPED WINDS AT 25 KNOTS WITH
MENTION OF GALE FORCE GUSTS ON TUESDAY DUE TO HIGH UNCERTAINTY OF
CLOSED SYSTEM MAKING IT ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA.
