AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 329 PM EDT SAT MAY 27 2006 .SYNOPSIS... STRONG UPPER TROPOSPHERIC RIDGING IS OCCURRING OVER THE SOUTHEAST...AND THE ASSOCIATED DRY MID-UPPER TROPOSPHERE HAS BEEN INHIBITING MOIST DEEP CONVECTION ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. AT THE SURFACE...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED ALONG THE PIEDMONT AND A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS ORIENTED EAST TO WEST ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE GULF. && .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT-TUESDAY) THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHICH MEANS WARM TEMPERATURES AND A LACK OF UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION (ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE). AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE TROUGH MOVES INTO OUR FORECAST AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE. HOWEVER...THE 12 UTC NAM AND GFS MOS HAVE REALLY BACKED OFF THEIR POP FORECAST COMPARED TO EARLIER RUNS. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO A LACK OF LARGE SCALE FORCING. THUS THE FORCING WILL BE HAVE TO COME FROM SEA BREEZE FRONTS...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...AND /OR THE WEAK CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH. ON TUESDAY THE MODELS BRING MUCH DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION FROM THE EAST...SO THE POP WILL BE 10 PERCENT OR LESS AND THE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE. .LONG TERM... (WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY) THERE WILL BE CHANCES FOR RAIN EACH DAY. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE LOCAL REGION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.
