AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 245 PM EDT THU JUN 22 2006 .SHORT TERM... RADAR RETURNS OFF THE GEORGIA AND EXTREME NE FLORIDA COAST ARE MOST LIKELY CHAFF AS THERE IS NO CONVECTION OR EVEN CLOUD COVERAGE CO- LOCATED ISOLATED POP UP THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED WERE UPDRAFTS HAVE BEEN VIGOROUS ENOUGH TO BLOW THROUGH THE CAP/STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION. WITH DEEP HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA (FA) THEY SHOULD BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN THIS EVENING. WITH A SYNOPTIC EASTERLY FLOW REGIME SET UP THE WEST COAST...GULF OF MEXICO...APALACHEE BAY SEA BREEZE FRONT IS PINNED ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST BUT IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PENETRATE INTO THE EXTREME WESTERN PORTION OF THE FA BY SUNSET. A FEW CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO FORM THERE WHEN OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES INTERSECT THE SEA BREEZE. MOST CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER DIURNAL HEATING SUBSIDES AND SHOULD BE COMPLETE AROUND 11 PM OR MIDNIGHT. PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE IN AREAS WHICH RECEIVE SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL TONIGHT. TOMORROW LOOKING TO BE A REPEAT OF TODAY...HAZY..HOT AND HUMID WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. .LONG TERM... WELL THE QUESTION FOR THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY IS WHAT WILL THE UPPER LOW AND SURFACE WAVE EAST OF THE BAHAMAS DO? OVERALL THINK THE SYSTEM WILL TRY SOME FOR TYPE OF SUB-TROPICAL/HYBRID ORGANIZATION AND WILL BRING SOME MOISTURE BACK TOWARD THE COAST BUT THINK THE NAM IS TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH IT. JUST REMEMBERING BACK TO ALBERTO NAM HAD A NICE LOOKING LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SYSTEM...HEADED FOR THE TEXAS COAST THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING SIMILAR HERE SO OVERALL PREFER THE GFS HANDLING OF AN OPEN SURFACE WAVE AND LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION MOVING ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA SUN INTO MONDAY. GFS POPS LOOK REASONABLE UNTIL WE SEE WHAT TRANSPIRES OFFSHORE. RIGHT NOW THIS SYSTEM JUST LOOKS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL ADD SOME MOISTURE TO THE LOCAL AREA. && .MARINE...
