AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 201 PM EDT SUN AUG 6 2006 ...HIGHER RAIN CHANCES FOCUSED INLAND THRU TUE... .SYNOPSIS...A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS POSITIONED OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...WHILE A TUTT IS EAST OF THE BAHAMAS. THESE TWO FEATURES ARE BRINGING AN EASTERLY STEERING FLOW OVER THE JAX CWA. IN THE LOWER LEVELS A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT IS STRETCHED ACROSS CENTRAL GA WITH THE BERMUDA RIDGE AXIS NORTH OF THE CWA AS WELL. VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS THAT THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE HAS ALREADY PUSHED W OF THE ST JOHNS RIVER SOUTH OF SGJ...AND IS NOW PRESSING TOWARD THE I-95 CORRIDOR FROM JAX TO SSI. A FEW SHRA ARE JUST NOW BEGINNING TO POP ALONG THE SEABREEZE IN GLYNN AND N DUVAL COUNTIES. .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THRU TUE... TONIGHT HAVE FOCUSED THE CHANCE OF SCATTERED EVENING TSRA DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE MERGER TOWARD THE I-75 CORRIDOR...THEN TAPPER POPS DOWN TO NIL EVERYWHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT. MINS IN THE LOWER 70S EXPECTED WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS NEAR THE COAST DUE TO INCREASED SSE FLOW. MON THE UPPER RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE SSW...AS THE TUTT APPROACHES THE BAHAMAS. MEAN LAYER STEERING FLOW OVER THE JAX CWA WILL BECOME LIGHTER. HAVE CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS OUR INTERIOR ZONES DUE TO SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS WITH A COLLISION LIKELY BETWEEN THE I-75 AND HWY 301 CORRIDORS DURING THE AFTN. HIGH TEMPS WILL FOCUS ACROSS THE INTERIOR UNDER LIGHT ELY FLOW WITH MAXES IN THE MID 90S...SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO VALUES. HEAT INDICES WILL REMAIN UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE LOWER 100S DURING THE AFTN. MON NIGHT THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE JAX CWA AS A WEAK TROUGH LINGERS OVER CENTRAL GA. THE TUTT ALOFT APPROACHES THE NE BAHAMAS PRECEDED BY A DRY SLOT FORECAST TO MOVE OVER FL. HAVE DECREASED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY TUE SINCE DRIER AIR WILL BE OVER THE AREA...RANGING FROM 30% ACROSS OUR INTERIOR GA ZONES WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE SLIGHTLY DEEPER DUE TO THE LINGERING FRONT TO THE NORTH. HAVE CARRIED 20% POPS ELSEWHERE TUE AFTN. THE MAIN CONVECTIVE CONCERNS IN SCATTERED STORMS EACH AFTN AND EVENING WILL BE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND DOWNBURST WINDS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO DECREASING STEERING FLOW AS THE MEAN RIDGE POSITIONS OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND SLOWLY SHIFTS SWD INTO WED. .LONG TERM...WED THRU SUN... A PATTERN SHIFT DEVELOPS WED AS THE MEAN RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA AND BRINGS US A MORE MOIST AND DYNAMIC SW STEERING FLOW PATTERN. THE FRONT OVER GA BEGINS TO SAG FURTHER SOUTH WED AND THU AND HAVE FOCUSED HIGHER PRECIP CHANCE OVER OUR GA ZONES DURING THIS PERIOD AROUND 50%...DOWN TO 30% OVER OUR FL ZONES. NEXT WEEKEND THE TUTT ADVANCES WEST INTO THE GOMEX AS A RIDGE TO OUR NW BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE SE REGION. HAVE TRENDED POPS/TEMPS DOWN TOWARD CLIMO VALUES NEXT WEEKEND AROUND 30-40% WITH MAXES IN THE LOWER 90S AND MINS IN THE LOWER 70S. && .MARINE...ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE UNTIL TUE NIGHT/WED WHEN A FRONT PUSHES THE RIDGE SWD AND SOUTHWEST FLOW RETURNS. SEAS WILL BE GENERALLY 2 TO 3 FT AND OCCASIONALLY 4 FT AT TIMES LATE IN THE WEEK. && .AVIATION...THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ON THE SEABREEZE PUSH INLAND.
