AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
215 PM EDT WED MAY 24 2006

.SHORT TERM...A LTTLE MORE MOISTURE COMBINED WITH THE REMNANTS OF
YESTERDAY WEAK BACKDOOR FRONT ARE COMBINING TO GENERATE SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND TSTMS SOUTH OF THE I10 CORRIDOR. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON BEFORE DYING OFF
RATHER QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET.

OVERALL PATTERN TO REMAIN UNCHANGED OVER NEXT FEW DAYS WITH
PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...SOME SORT OF WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERING NORTH OF THE CWA...WITH THE SFC RIDGE
AXIS ANCHORED OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA. GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE A
SLIGHT INCREASE IN PWAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHICH SHOULD
CONTRIBUTE TO MAINLY ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY FLORIDA. TEMPS SHOULD RISE TO
NEAR 90 EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

.LONG TERM...SOME CHANGE IN THE PATTER STARTING THIS WEEKEND AS
UPPER TROUGH ALONG EAST COAST CUTS OFF INTO UPPER LOW AND SLIDES
DOWN THE EAST COAST WITH A STRONG RIDGE BUILDING JUST TO ITS WEST.
SOME MOISTURE STICKS AROUND OVER THE WEEKEND WITH ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY...HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT DRY AIR TO
GET WRAPPED AROUND WEST SIDE OF UPPER LOW EARLY NEXT WEEK
DIMINISHING AVAILABLE MOISTURE ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.
ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH SHOULD KEEP MAX
TEMPS DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO FROM CURRENT VALUES. DESPITE THE
PATTERN SHIFT...NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EVENTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE
NEXT 7 DAYS.

&&

.MARINE...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED JUST SOUTH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND A RETURN TO MORE SUBSTANTIAL
SWLY NOCTURNAL SURGES ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT WITH SEAS BUMPING UP TO 3 TO 5 FT AT TIMES. MODELS STILL
INDICATING A POSSIBLE BACK DOOR FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SUNDAY ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS IN TIME FOR A SWITCH TO NELY WINDS FOR MEMORIAL
DAY...STILL WAY TOO EARLY TO SAY HOW STRONG THIS SURGE WILL BE...BUT
FOR NOW WILL CALL IT A LIGHT TO MODERATE NELY EVENT WITH SEAS OF 3
TO 5 FT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
BACK DOOR COOL FRONT FROM YESTERDAY HAS SLIPPED INTO NERN FL AND
ONLY A SMALL POCKET OF VERY DRY AIR REMAINS OVER MARION COUNTY AS
LOCAL OBS IN THE OCF/VVG/NAE REGION ARE FLIRTING WITH 35% BUT NOT
WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANY KIND OF RED FLAG WARNING. MIN RHS
WILL BOTTOM OUT ONCE AGAIN IN THE 35-40% RANGE ACRS PORTIONS OF INLD
NERN FL THU AFTERNOON...BUT NO RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AS THE SEA BREEZE CONVECTIVE SEASON STARTS UP.
