AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
220 PM EDT SUN JUN 10 2007

...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE BY TUESDAY...

.SHORT TERM...MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK SURFACE LOW AND TROUGH OVER
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND INTO PORTIONS OF NORTH FLORIDA...CREATING
AND LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND FLOW PATTERN PRIOR TO SEABREEZE
PASSAGE. DRIER AIR THAT MODELS HAD BEEN FORECASTING HAS DEFINITELY
ARRIVED OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA WITH MIXING PROVIDING
FOR DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S OVER THE GEORGIA PORTION. A VERY SHARP
GRADIENT EXISTS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH A VERY MOISTURE RICH
AIRMASS OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S.
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THIS REGION IN THE MID 90S AND A HIGH
CONCENTRATION REGION OF THETA-E DEPICTED...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE NAM12 DEPICT SEABREEZE ERODING MUCH OF THE
LOWER DEWPOINTS AND ACTIVITY SHOULD SPREAD INLAND TO AS FAR NORTH
AS GNV AND ISOLATED ACTIVITY ALONG THE EAST COAST. DRIER AIR ALOFT
WILL STILL PROVIDE POTENTIAL ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS.

AS LOW RETROGRADES WEST ON MONDAY...EAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO
MOISTEN THE LOW LEVELS WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE IN POPS IN STORE BUT
STILL IN THE LOW END SCATTERED RANGE. NAM12 IS MORE AGGRESSIVE
WITH EAST COAST SEABREEZE AND CONSEQUENTLY SHOWS HIGHEST POPS OVER
WESTERN ZONES WHILE THE GFS IS ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. AT
THIS TIME...WILL SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AND GO ONE COUNTY IN FOR THE
HIGHEST POPS.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THE FORECAST GETS MORE INTERESTING AND
MORE PROBLEMATIC DUE TO MODEL DISCREPANCIES. WHAT LOOKS LIKE A
SURE BET IS THAT A POTENT UPPER LOW OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL ROTATE
LOWER HEIGHTS AND ASSOCIATED ENERGY TOWARD THE REGION LATE MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. NAM IS FASTER WITH THIS FEATURE BUT BOTH
MODELS TO BRING PRECIP BACK INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES LATE MON NIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE THIS COULD BE SOME TYPE OF MCS THE MODELS ARE TRYING TO
LATCH ONTO AND WILL NEED TO HOLD ONTO SOME SCATTERED POPS INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THESE MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED HIGHER AS EVENT
DRAWS CLOSER. WEAK LOW PRESSURE LOOKS TO FORM TUESDAY ALONG WITH
INCREASING MOISTURE AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES. 500 TEMPS WILL FALL
TO BETWEEN -10 AND -12 OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES AND ALL THIS POINTS
TO INCREASED COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS.

LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE LOOKS TO FURTHER DEVELOP AND SLIDE
EAST OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY WITH A MORE STABLE SETUP INDICATED
FOR OUR AREA WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. THERE WILL
STILL BE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEAL WITH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND
WILL NEED TO WATCH LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILE FOR HELICITY INCREASE
WHICH WOULD PROMOTE A FEW SPIN-UPS. POPS BY THIS TIME INTO THU
COULD WELL BE IN THE LIKELY RANGE...BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST
RUN SHOWING THIS MAGNITUDE OF AN EVENT...WILL KEEP AT 50% FOR NOW.

.LONG TERM...GFS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE EJECTING LOW TO THE SOUTH
WITH A DRIER AIRMASS WORKING IN BY MID WEEK. LAST FEW FRAMES OF
THE NAM12 LOOK SLOWER WITH THIS PROCESS AND WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED WITH SUBSEQUENT RUNS.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDS EXCEPT MVFR CIG/VIS POSSIBLE NEAR ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WITH GUSTY WINDS REMAINDER OF TODAY. OCNL MVFR
VIS EXPECTED OVER GAINESVILLE TAF SITES AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. MODELS
NOT IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH VIS PROBLEMS FURTHER N AT JAX AND CRG SO
HAVE NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...NO HEADLINES IN SHORT TERM. WINDS TO BECOME PREVAILING E
TO SE OVER NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH LOW PRES SYSTEM W OF THE MARINE
AREA. MODELS SUGGEST A LOW PRES AREA WILL MOVE INTO THE COASTAL
WATERS LATE TUE INTO WED BEFORE MOVING S AND E OF THE AREA BY THU.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DEWPOINTS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S
OVER THE WRN ZONES AS ANTICIPATED YIELDING RH VALUES OF AROUND 30 TO
35%. CURRENT RED FLAG WARNING SHOULD VERIFY. WILL MAINTAIN FIRE WEATHER
WATCH FOR MON ALTHOUGH IT IS LOOKING LIKE DURATIONS WILL BE A BIT
HARD TO REACH.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.HEADLINES...

...HIGH FIRE DANGER DUE TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S AND HEAT
INDICES WILL APPROACH 100 THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF HOT
TEMPERATURES AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A HIGH FIRE
DANGER ESPECIALLY OVER THE SUWANNEE VALLEY OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER INTERIOR NORTHEAST
FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY SOUTH OF GAINESVILLE. MAIN IMPACT
WILL BE DOWNBURST WINDS UP TO 50 MPH AND HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
IS POSSIBLE AS STORMS MOVE SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES LATE MONDAY AND INFLUENCE OUR AREA TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR
INCREASED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE LIKELIHOOD OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LOOKS TO
BE INCREASING FOR THIS TIME PERIOD WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY
CONCERN AT THIS TIME. FUTURE FORECASTS WILL REFINE THE AREA OF
CONCERN AS WELL AS THE COVERAGE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED AT THIS TIME.
