AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
258 PM EDT FRI JUN 2 2006

.SYNOPSIS...SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE WRN ATLC NEAR
30N WITH SLY LOW LEVEL FLOW INDICATED IN VIS IMAGERY WITH CU
FIELD. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPING IN THE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS ALONG THE W COAST OF FL BIG
BEND DRIFTING NWD. OTHER WEAK SHOWERS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE E COAST SEA BREEZE AS IT SLOWLY PUSHES INLAND NEAR I-95
AT THIS TIME. AVERAGE CAPE VALUES VIA LAPS DATA SHOWS ABOUT 2000
J/KG. MAIN CONCERN WITH STORMS REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON WILL BE
MARGINAL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS OF AROUND 40-50 MPH IN DOWNBURSTS.

.SHORT TERM...SCT TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
ONGOING EARLY THIS EVENING ROUGHLY DOWN THE CENTER OF THE FORECAST
AREA AS W AND E COAST SEA BREEZES ARE THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION. SOME
INCREASE IN SHORTWAVE ENERGY WITH ONE SHORTWAVE OVER S CENTRAL GA MAY
HELP CREATE MORE CONVECTION OVER SE GA THROUGH 03Z TONIGHT WHERE VERY
LITTLE ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING AT THIS TIME. CONVECTION SHOULD WIND
DOWN SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AS DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST BUT
INCREASING LIFT OCCURS AS SHORTWAVE AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
MOVE INTO GA THROUGH 12Z SAT. WILL KEEP A MENTION OF PATCHY FOG
(MAINLY IN THE 2-4 NM) OVER THE SERN ZONES AFTER 06Z TONIGHT
AS WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND DRY AIR ALOFT MOVES IN BRIEFLY. SAT...GFS
AND NAM ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AGAIN WITH MOISTURE FIELDS. HOWEVER...
GFS POPS LOOK BETTER SO WERE PREFERRED. WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS
MOST EVERYWHERE WITH DEEP MOISTURE AND SUFFICIENT LIFT THROUGH 500
MB. PWATS AOA 1.7 INCHES ARE PROGGED BY GFS. ISOLATED SEVERE TSTMS
POSSIBLE WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL WINDS AND SBCAPE OF ABOUT 2000-
3000 J/KG. SAT NIGHT...MID LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS TO THE E COAST WITH
MOISTURE MOVING OFFSHORE AND LIFT DECREASING. WILL KEEP A 20-30%
MAINLY FOR EARLY EVENING CONVECTION. MEANWHILE...ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DROPS IN THE MEAN LAYER TROUGH OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AREA BY
12Z SUN. THIS WILL REINFORCE THE TROUGH AND ALSO LOWER SURFACE
PRESSURES OVER THE SE U.S. ON SUN...BROAD SFC LOW IS PROGGED BY BOTH
NAM AND GFS FROM SRN GA TO THE CAROLINAS WITH WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FROM NW TO SE. NOT READY TO DROP
POPS FOR SUN SO WILL LEAVE IN CHANCES MAINLY OVER ERN ZONES WHERE E
COAST SEA BREEZE MAY HELP INITIATE CONVECTION. MON...GFS SHOWS AREA
OF LOW PRES NEAR SE GA WITH NAM SHOWING IT SLIGHTLY FURTHER NE. THIS
SYSTEM MAY HELP ADVECT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA WITH AIRMASS
MODIFYING QUICKLY. WILL ADVERTISE SLIGHT POPS FOR ALL ZONES.

.LONG TERM...(TUE-FRI). GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE DEEP MOISTURE WELL E
OF THE AREA AS EAST COAST TROUGH LINGERS AND KEEPS ATMOSPHERE FAIRLY
DRY WITH MEAN FLOW FROM THE NW. CONFIDENCE IS LOW WITH FORECAST
FOR TUE AS UPPER LOW DROPS SWD TO AND OFF THE COAST OF GA AND SC. SFC
RIDGE AXIS BEGINS TO SLIP SWD FROM WED THROUGH FRI INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO WHICH SHOULD BEGIN TO PUMP MORE LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE INTO
THE REGION AS TYPICAL SUMMERTIME SW FLOW DEVELOPS. AFTER TAKING OUT
POPS FOR TUE THIS MORNING WILL LIKELY PUT BACK IN FOR TUE AS NE FLOW
AROUND LOW PRES COULD POP ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
WILL LEAVE OUT POPS FOR WED AND ADVERTISE SLIGHT POPS FOR THU AND
FRI. MODELS HAVE ALSO INDICATED ANOTHER FRONT SLIPPING INTO THE SE
CONUS BY WEEKS END.

&&

.MARINE...SE TO S WINDS AT 10-15 KT WITH SEAS AROUND 3 FT INDICATED
IN MARINE OBSERVATION DATA. WINDS TRANSITION TO SW SAT WITH SCEC
CRITERIA POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT MAINLY OFFSHORE WATERS. LIGHT FLOW
EXPECTED SUN AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY/LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
WATERS. OTHERWISE...NO HEADLINES EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MARGINAL DURATIONS OF LOW RH EXPECTED ON SUNDAY
MAINLY SUWANNEE VALLEY AREA SO WILL WAIT ON FURTHER GUIDANCE BEFORE
PUTTING UP A FIRE WEATHER WATCH.
