Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 1:30 PM EST, 3 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 230 PM EDT THU JUL 27 2006 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT... REST OF THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT...ANOTHER UPPER TROF PASSAGE AND MORE DRIER AIR BEHIND THIS FEATURE HAS REALLY PUT THE CAP ON CONVECTION SO FAR TODAY. MAX TEMPS HAVE SOARED INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S WITH SOME CENTURY MARK READINGS POSSIBLE ACRS SERN GA BEFORE THE AFTERNOON IS OVER. LATEST CU FIELD SHOWS THAT SOME ATLC SBRZ ACTIVITY SHOULD GENERATE AS IT MOVES INLAND WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND COASTAL COUNTIES MAY MISS OUT ON SOME ISOLD/SCTD TSTM ACTIVITY. FRIDAY...SFC TO MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION TO SUPPRESS ACTIVITY ONCE AGAIN...BUT SFC TO 500 MB FLOW WILL VEER ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE ESE AND MAY BRING SOME OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE JUST SE OF THE THE AREA BACK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS...SO WHILE RIDGE WILL SUPPRESS ACTIVITY ENOUGH MOISTURE AND A GUD PUSH FROM THE ATLC SBRZ WILL KICK OFF 20-30% POPS ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND CLOSER TO 30-40% POPS ACRS THE I-75 CORRIDOR AND INLD SERN GA. MAX TEMPS WILL STILL PUSH INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S AND WITH HEAT INDICES IN THE LOWER 100S ONCE AGAIN. SATURDAY...STACKED SFC TO MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL SLOWLY LOSE ITS GRIP OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND SFC TO 500MB WIND FLOW WILL FALL TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT 5 KNOTS OR LESS...SO WITH LITTLE STEERING MOTION AND ENOUGH MOISTURE OVER THE FORECAST AREA...CLIMO POPS ARE EXPECTED (30-40%) WITH BOTH SBRZS BECOMING ACTIVE DURING THE AFTN/EVE. MAX TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S WITH HEAT INDICES CONTINUING JUST ABOVE 100 DEGREES. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... A LIGHT TO MODERATE SWLY FLOW FROM THE SFC TO 500MB SHOULD SET UP THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A MEAN TROFINESS WILL LINGER ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS SHOULD (?) ALLOW FOR THE DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE AREA TO KICK OFF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCTD TSTMS EVERY DAY AS THIS PATTERN IS VERY CONDUCIVE TO SBRZ CONVERGENCE AND TSTM ACTIVITY...BUT THE WAY THIS SUMMER IS GOING WE SHALL SEE. I HAVE CAPPED ALL THE POPS AT 50% IN THE EXTENDED BUT THEY WILL PROBABLY END UP BEING HIGHER IN THE LIKELY RANGE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND. MAX TEMPS WILL FALL BACK INTO THE LOWER 90S WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. && .MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA HAS PROVIDED A VERY LIGHT FLOW PATTERN OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT NORTHEAST FLOW LOOKS TO BECOME QUICKLY SOUTHEAST LATER THIS EVENING AND THEN SOUTH BY TONIGHT. MAIN CHANGE AMONG THE MODEL SUITES HAS BEEN TO SHIFT SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SOUTHWARD AS OPPOSED TO NORTHWARD WHICH YESTERDAYS RUN SHOWED. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF SOUTHWESTERLIES OVER THE WATERS BUT SPEEDS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .FIRE WEATHER...TEMPERATURES SOARING INTO THE MID 90S ALONG WITH A DECENT MIXING PROFILE WILL RESULT IN RH VALUES IN THE MID 30S THIS AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY. DURATIONS LOOK INSUFFICIENT AT THIS TIME TO WARRANT ANY WATCHES OR WARNINGS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
