AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
334 PM EDT SAT JUN 9 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
THE AFTERNOON REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A LOW PRESSURE
TROUGH FROM COASTAL NC TO LA...AND A FAIRLY STEEP DEWPOINT
GRADIENT FROM OK TO WV. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
OVER SOUTHERN AL...SOUTHERN MS...AND THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE
AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS. LIKE YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME...THE CU
FIELD OVER OUR AREA IS SUPPRESSED AND TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE
AVERAGE AND ALREADY IN THE MID 90S. VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH PROPAGATING EASTWARD OVER NORTHERN AL
AND NORTH GA...WHICH MAY BE AIDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY) WE STILL EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT IN FL EARLY THIS EVENING...AS
THE OPPOSING OFFSHORE FLOW PINS THE SEA BREEZE FRONT NEAR THE
COAST AND ENHANCES LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE THERE. WE ALSO THINK
SCATTERED STORMS WILL AFFECT OUR SOUTHEAST AL AND SOUTHWEST GA
ZONES AS THEY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL
SHORT WAVE...AND OUTFLOW FROM THE ONGOING NEARBY STORMS TRIGGER
STORMS IN OUR AREA. AFTER THIS EVENING WE EXPECT A HOT AND DRY
SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS STRONG RIDGING DEVELOPS ALOFT...AND DRY
SINKING AIR SUPPRESSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP MOIST CONVECTION.
HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY APPROACH RECORD LEVELS...BUT THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WILL BE TOO LOW TO WORRY ABOUT HEAT INDEXES. AT LEAST
NIGHTTIME LOWS SHOULD BE A LITTLE COOLER THAN AVERAGE SUNDAY
NIGHT. ON TUESDAY THE MOS STILL HAVE THE POP AT OR BELOW 10
PERCENT...BUT WE RAISED IT TO 20 PERCENT AS WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND AN APPROACHING UPPER
TROUGH.
.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...GFS
INDICATES THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT WESTWARD AS A WEAK SHORT
WAVE SLIDES SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EAST COAST. GIVEN THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN MODELS AND LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS FEATURE WILL KEEP POPS
AT 20 PERCENT OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THROUGH THIS
TIME PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION...
EXPECT SCT CONVECTION TO IMPACT ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND THEN BEGIN TO DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. A MUCH
DRIER AIRMASS FILTERS INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT
NORTHWEST FLOW WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT FOG DEVELOPMENT. DEEP LAYER OF
DRY AIR OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION.
&&
.MARINE...
LOW WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
THE 12 UTC MOS DEWPOINTS (BOTH MAV AND MET) CAME IN MUCH DRIER
THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...AND JUDGING FROM THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS THIS
LOOKS REASONABLE. WE NOW EXPECT TO REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLE MONDAY AS WELL.
