AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 255 PM EDT FRI AUG 31 2007 .SYNOPSIS...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY LOOP SHOWS A MID/UPPER RIDGE CENTERED NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...AND SHORT WAVE TROUGHS APPROACHING THE PACIFIC COAST AND MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEAST CANADA. A WEAKNESS EXTENDED FROM THE LATTER TROUGH ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST AND EASTERN GULF COAST STATES. CLOSER TO HOME...A MID LEVEL INVERTED TROUGH AND DEVELOPING CYCLONIC CIRCULATION IS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL/SOUTHERN GA...WITH A WEAK SURFACE LOW ANALYZED NEAR TLH. THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS VERY MOIST WITH REGIONAL SOUNDING PRECIPITABLE WATER (PWAT) VALUES GREATER THAN TWO INCHES. VISIBLE IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS LAYERED STRATIFORM/MID CLOUD COVER FROM CENTRAL GA INTO THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE...WITH CUMULIFORM CLOUDS FROM SOUTHERN GA INTO NORTHERN FL WHERE MORE INSTABILITY IS LOCATED. MOST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FROM THE EASTERN FL BIG BEND INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF...HOWEVER ADDITIONAL CONVECTION IS FIRING WHERE BREAKS IN LOWER/MID CLOUDS HAVE OCCURRED. TEMPS RANGE FROM A RAIN-COOLED 77 AT CTY TO 91 AT AAF. WINDS WERE VARIABLE AROUND 5 KTS. && .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-SUNDAY NIGHT)...THE MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. TONIGHT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE INTO THE ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY TO EXPAND EASTWARD THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...THE CHARACTER OF THE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES WILL REMAIN DIRTY WITH A SERIES OF WEAK VORT LOBES MIGRATING ACROSS THE REGION. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW GOOD RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY TAKING THE INVERTED MID LEVEL TROUGH WESTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE MEAN 1000-700 MB WIND VECTOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AROUND 10 KTS (TYPE 4/5 REGIMES)...WHICH ARE TYPICALLY OUR WETTEST SEA BREEZE REGIMES WITH 40-50 POPS. HOWEVER...AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH...CLOUD COVER AND VORT ENERGY ALOFT WILL LIKELY CREATE DISTURBED CONDITIONS FOR SEA BREEZE FORMATION. MODIFIED MODEL PWAT VALUES BETWEEN 2 AND 2.25 AND CAPES OF 2000-3000 J/KG COMBINED WITH THE TROUGH AND LOW SERVING AS LIFTING MECHANISMS JUSTIFY LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS. ON SUNDAY...THE TROUGH AND LOW DRIFT TO THE NORTH WITH A NORTH-SOUTH POP GRADIENT (70-50). WITH AMPLE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION THIS WEEKEND...HIGH TEMPS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 80S. ACCEPTED A BLEND OF THE NAM/GFS POPS AND TEMPS. && .LONG TERM (LABOR DAY-FRIDAY)...IF THE DRIER GFS TREND BECOMES THE PREFERRED SOLUTION...COULD SEE POPS DROP ACROSS THE REGION FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW 50 PERCENT DAYTIME POPS FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING PERIOD FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE MODEL CYCLE. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPS WILL AVERAGE NEAR CLIMO DURING THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION...THIS WAS A DIFFICULT SET OF FORECASTS FOR AREA TERMINALS...SO EXPECT SOME AMENDMENTS. LOW PRESSURE IS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FORECAST AREA. TERMINALS TO THE S AND E OF THE LOW (TLH AND VLD) WILL BE MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AND WILL SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. THESE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH WIND GUSTS OF 25-30KT...MVFR CIGS AND VSBY...WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR POSSIBLE. SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH AN EARLY START TO CONVECTION ON SAT. LATE NIGHT PREVAILING VSBY WILL DIP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR POSSIBLE AT VLD. DHN AND ABY WILL SPEND THE FORECAST PERIOD N OF THE LOW CENTER. CHANCES FOR TSRA ARE MINIMAL. HOWEVER...SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP WITH A STEADY LIGHT RAIN OVERNIGHT. CIGS WILL BE VFR DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS...BUT MVFR IN SHOWERS. OVERNIGHT...CIGS WILL LOWER TO IFR. PFN WILL BE IN A TRANSITION ZONE AND WILL SEE PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS...WITH TSRA MORE LIKELY ON SAT. && .MARINE...A SURFACE TROUGH AND LOW PRESSURE CENTER JUST NORTH OF THE MARINE AREA WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. AS THE TROUGH AND LOW DRIFT BACK TO THE NORTHWEST ON SUNDAY...THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE. WHILE WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW CAUTION CRITERIA DURING THE PERIOD...THEY WILL BE HIGHER IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. && .HYDROLOGY...MOST AREAS WILL SEE SOME BENEFICIAL RAINFALL THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WHICH SHOULD BRING SLIGHT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LONG-TERM DROUGHT. RIVER AND STREAM FLOW CAPACITIES REMAIN LOW ENOUGH SO SIGNIFICANT RUNOFFS SHOULD NOT RESULT IN RIVERINE FLOODING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
