AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
252 PM EST THU FEB 1 2007

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTN/EVENING...

.SYNOPSIS...BROAD LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ALONG THE GULF
COAST AND IS MOVING EAST. MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWING 1004 MB LOW SE
OF THE SE LA COAST MOVING ENE. DEWPOINT ANALYSIS PLACES WARM FRONT
ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. RADAR/SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING
CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR AND NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...MOVING ACROSS THE WEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE INTO SW GA.
AN MCS HAD FORMED SOUTH OF THE FL PANHANDLE AND WAS MOVING EAST.
A CLUSTER OF STRONG STORMS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING SE OF AQQ AND MOVING
RAPIDLY NE. VAD WIND PROFILES FROM JAX AND VAX SHOWING THAT LOW
LEVEL SHEAR WAS INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA WITH 0-1 KM SRH OF
300-400. HOWEVER...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING FORECAST AREA
IS UNDER SUBSIDENCE ALOFT WHICH IS HELPING TO SUPPRESS CONVECTION.
ALSO THE 18Z GFS SOUNDING SHOWING A WEAK SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
BETWEEN 900 AND 700 MB. TEMPS HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S
ACROSS MUCH OF NE FL. WINDS WERE SSW AT A SUSTAINED 20 MPH.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-SUN)...THE SUBSIDENCE ALOFT WILL COME TO AN
END AS SHORT WAVE ALONG THE GULF COAST MOVES EAST TO ACROSS THE
AREA THIS EVE. THE GFS IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE IN THAT IT IS DOING
THE BEST JOB WITH THE INTENSITY OF THE LOW BUT IS A LITTLE FAST.
THE LOW WILL TRACK ENE ALONG THE FL PANHANDLE COAST THIS EAST
THEN RAPIDLY REDEVELOP OFF THE SC COAST OVERNITE TONIGHT.
AS FOR SEVERE WX...THERE IS A TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT JUST
WEST OF OUR AREA THROUGH 03Z. THE JET DYNAMICS AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR
ARE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE STORMS AND TORNADOES...BUT THE MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE WEAK AND INSTABILITY IS LACKING. MOST OF THE
CONVECTION WE GET...AT LEAST INITIALLY...WILL BE ELEVATED. ITS
POSSIBLE A FEW STORMS MAY BE ABLE TO GET GOING AND COULD CAUSE
ISOLATED TORNADOES WHICH WOULD DEPEND HOW MUCH JUICY AIR WE CAN GET
INTO THE AREA. FOR NOW...WILL LEAVE THAT WORDING OUT OF THE ZONE
FORECAST AND WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WATCH OUT TO THE WEST.
REGARDLESS...LOOKS LIKE GOOD RAIN POTENTIAL WITH MANY AREAS GETTING
1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN (ISOLATED HEAVIER AMOUNTS) TONIGHT INTO EARLY
FRIDAY. ON FRIDAY A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA AS THE LOW
RACES NE. WILL LOWER POPS FROM NW TO SE DURING THE DAY...HAVE KEPT
POPS GOING ALL DAY IN THE SE. THE FRONT STAYS STALLED JUST TO OUR
SOUTH THIS WEEKEND BUT MODELS INDICATING SHORT WAVE ENERGY MAY MOVE
ALONG IT RESULTING IN RAIN JUST TO OUR SOUTH...POSSIBLY EDGING NORTH
INTO OUR AREA. WILL KEEP POPS GOING BOTH SAT & SUN BUT DECREASE THEM
NW TO SE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(MON-THURS)...HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS OVER THE AREA
MONDAY FOLLOWED BY A STRONGER CANADIAN HIGH (1030 MB+) BUILDING IN
FROM THE NORTH TUES-THURS. DEEP UPPER TROUGH GETS ESTABLISHED ACROSS
THE EASTERN U.S. THIS RESULTS IN A RETURN TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPS NEXT
WEEK WITH A FREEZE INLAND LATE AT NIGHT/EARLY MORNING TUES-THURS.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT
ALL TAF SITES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVE. STRONG LOW LEVEL
JET RESULTING IN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL SITES.

&&

.MARINE...BOSTON TECHNIQUE CONTINUES TO INDICATE WIND GUSTS TO NEAR
GALE FORCE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THUS WILL HOLD OFF GALE
WARNING. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO GALE FORCE IN
ZONES. SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE AREAS WILL RIDE ALONG QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST TO THE NORTH AND THESE FEATURES COUPLED WITH
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL MAINTAIN STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM THE
NORTH LATE TONIGHT WHEN LAST IN SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE AREAS
POSITIONS TO OUR NORTH...WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO THE
LOCAL WATERS. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO SUGGEST ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE LOCAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS AND ROTATING
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY PRODUCING WATERSPOUTS.
