AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
150 PM EDT SUN SEP 2 2007
...FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE THRU 8 PM FOR COASTAL SE GA...
...DRIER AIR TO FILTER INTO THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...
.SYNOPSIS...THICK CLOUD COVER OVER THE N 2/3 OF THE AREA HAS
DELAYED CONVECTION. SCATTERED TSTMS ONGOING OVER THE S 1/3 OF THE
AREA...WHICH ARE ALSO NEAR AND S OF A SFC FRONTAL TROF. WEAK SFC
LOW ALONG THE FRONT IS PRESENTLY JUST E OF THE NE FL/SE GA COAST.
ALOFT...PENCIL RIDGE EXTENDS FROM E OF THE BAHAMAS ACROSS CENTRAL
FL WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE AIDING SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT OFFSHORE.
.SHORT TERM...CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE THRU THE EVENING
HOURS...WITH HIGHEST POPS FOCUSING ALONG ROUGHLY THE I-95
CORRIDOR. WILL BE CANCELLING THE FLOOD WATCH FOR INLAND SE GA.
HOWEVER...MODELS ARE STILL INDICATING SOME HEAVIER RAINS POSSIBLE
ALONG THE SE GA COAST...PARTICULARLY THE RUC. MOST OF THIS WILL BE
DUE TO COASTAL CONVERGENCE WITH A WIND SURGE ON W SIDE OF
DEVELOPING SFC LOW. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN
THIS FCST...BUT SEE NO HARM IN KEEPING THE WATCH FOR A FEW MORE
HOURS FOR THAT AREA. IF A GOOD REGION OF CONVERGENCE DEVELOPS...
THE NEXT SHIFT MAY NEED TO EXTEND THE WATCH...BUT THIS IS NOT
ANTICIPATED ATTM.
MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH CONTINUED DRY AIR FILTERING INTO THE
AREA ON W SIDE OF LOW. AS A RESULT...HAVE CONTINUED THE PREVIOUS
FCST TREND OF REDUCING POPS FROM THE N AND W FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. WITH DROPPING DEW POINTS...EXPECT SOME UPPER 60S OVER SOME W
LOCATIONS...ESP TUE AND WED MORNINGS. MODELS NOT TOO BULLISH WITH
FOG THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS...WITH BEST CHANCE OVER S ZONES. MAY BE A
BIT MORE THAN PROGGED IN RECENT RAIN AREAS.
.LONG TERM...ATLC SFC LOW FCST TO SLOWLY DEEPEN AND BEGIN TO SHIFT
NE BY MID-WEEK. HOWEVER...12Z GFS SHIFTS NEW ENGLAND HIGH OVER THE
TOP OF THE LOW...WITH THE LOW MOVING BACK TO THE W BY LATE WEEK.
UNTIL THERE IS MORE CONSISTENCY WITH THIS FCST...HAVE MADE FEW
CHANGES TO PRESENT PACKAGE.
&&
.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS FROM THIS MORNING HAVE LIFTED TO MAINLY
VFR AT THE TAF SITES. LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP BANDS OF SHRA AND TSRA WHICH WILL AFFECT THEN FL TERMINALS
FROM 18Z-22Z. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT OTHER BANDS WILL DEVELOP
THEREAFTER REQUIRING ADDITIONAL TEMPO INTO THE LATE EVENING. HAVE
INCLUDED A PROB30 FOR SHRA BY 10Z MON AS NAM12 BRINGS CONVERGENCE
AXIS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST BUT GFS IS LESS AGGRESSIVE.
&&
.MARINE...MODELS STILL SHOW SOME SIGNIFICANT DIRECTIONAL DIFFERENCES
IN THE SHORT TERM...BUT CERTAINLY MORE AGREEMENT THAN YESTERDAY.
WILL GO WITH A BLEND BUT SLIGHTLY FAVOR THE BETTER VERIFYING NAM12.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SCEC CONDITIONS DEVELOPING FOR THE GA WATERS
OVERNIGHT AND PERSISTING INTO MON. MUCH UNCERTAINTY THEREAFTER AS
THE NEW GFS BRINGS LOW BACK TOWARD THE COAST. WILL INCREASE WINDS
SLIGHTLY TO INITIATE A TREND BUT FALL WELL SHORT OF THE GFS
ADVERTISED SCA CONDITIONS FOR NOW.
