AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 818 PM EDT MON AUG 13 2007 .SHORT TERM...MUCH DRIER AIR AND CONTINUED INFLUENCE FROM UPPER RIDGE AXIS HAS RESULTED IN MUCH LOWER PRECIP COVERAGE OF STORMS THIS EVENING. THE STORMS THAT HAVE FORMED HAVE BEEN SHORT LIVED PULSE TYPE WITH VERY LIMITED STRENGTH. THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS.

HOWEVER...OUTFLOW FROM CURRENT COMPLEX IS OUTRACING THE MAIN UPDRAFT AND EXPECT NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING TO BE LOW END SCATTERED AT BEST.
