AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 1002 PM EDT TUE AUG 14 2007 .SYNOPSIS... THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND PLENTY OF MID/UPPER DRY AIR PROVIDED ANOTHER DRY AND VERY HOT DAY ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA RANGED FROM 93 TO 102 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON WITH DOTHAN RECORDING THE HIGHEST. THE HEAT INDICES RANGED FROM 104 TO 109 DEGREES TODAY...WHICH WERE JUST BELOW THE ADVISORY LEVEL OF 110 DEGREES. THE HEAT INDICES WERE STILL COMING IN ABOVE 100 DEGREES AT 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING. THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A VERY WEAK SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING WESTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND A RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. OVERALL...CONDITIONS WERE FAIRLY SUPPRESSED WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED TROUGH AND ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONTS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE NOW ENTERING THE SOUTHEASTERN BIG BEND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH WEST ACROSS THE AREA AND SLOWLY DISSIPATE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. WILL UPDATE THE ZONES TO REFLECT THIS COVERAGE BY INCREASING THE POPS ACROSS THIS AREA. OTHERWISE...THE PREVIOUS FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK AND NOT OTHER UPDATES WILL BE NECESSARY AT THIS TIME. OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL GOMEX...UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE IN THE SE QUADRANT OF THE UPPER LOW OVER TEXAS CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER THE SURFACE LOW NEAR 23N90W. CONVECTION NEAR THE LLCC CONTINUES TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WNW TOWARD THE TX COAST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. FOR OUR AREA...ALTHOUGH THE DYNAMIC FETCH IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR OUR COASTAL WATERS...A VERY SLIGHT INCREASE IN SEAS ACROSS THE MARINE AREA IS NOT OUT OF QUESTION DEPENDING ON HOW ORGANIZED THIS SYSTEM GETS IN THE FOLLOWING 12 TO 24 HOURS. && .AVIATION...CONVECTION VCNTY OF KPFN SHOULD DISSIPATE BY 02Z. OVERNIGHT, MOST TERMINALS WILL SEE A FEW HOURS OF MVFR VSBY. A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR VSBY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE AT ABY AND VLD. FOR WED, CONVECTION WILL BE TOO LIMITED TO MENTION IN THE TAF, BUT DID INCLUDE A CB GROUP FOR PFN, WHICH ONCE AGAIN STANDS THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE ANY NEARBY CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND FROM LATE DAY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. && .TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
