AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
300 PM EDT WED JUN 30 2010
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
VERY MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS (PW VALUES 2.3 TO 2.5 INCHES) WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS
EVENING. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN.
MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT TOWARD THE AREA
ON THURSDAY. VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS FORCING INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN BUT ISOLATED STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
MAX TEMPS WILL BE HELD IN THE 80S DUE TO PRECIPITATION AND THICK
CLOUD COVER.
WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY BEHIND THE
FRONT. THE MODELS DISAGREE ON HOW FAST TO BRING IN THE DRY AIR
WITH THE NAM BY FAR THE MOST ROBUST...INDICATING A MUCH DRIER
AIRMASS ADVANCING SOUTH ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY SATURDAY
MORNING. THE GFS INSISTS ON KEEPING MUCH HIGHER MOISTURE
ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WHICH IN
RETURN WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES. GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTIES...HAVE DECIDED NOT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THE POPS
FOR THE WEEKEND UNTIL THERE IS BETTER CONSENSUS AMONGST THE
MODELS. BELOW NORMAL MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID 80S ALONG THE COAST.
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THIS PERIOD WITH RESPECT TO CLOSED UPPER LOW
OFF THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. THE LATEST GFS IS THE
FARTHEST SOUTH WITH THIS FEATURE INDICATING THAT IT WILL
RETROGRADE ACROSS THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA IN THE TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY
TIMEFRAME. THIS WOULD HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON TEMPS AND POPS BUT WILL
WAIT FOR MORE CONFIRMATION BEFORE MAKING WHOLESALE CHANGES.
&&
.AVIATION...SCT TO NMRS SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE PROPAGATING
SLOWLY INLAND TODAY. ANTICIPATE BETTER AFTN TSTM CHANCES AT GNV
WHERE ATMOSPHERE HAS NOT BEEN WORKED OVER. IFR IN SHOWERS AND STORMS
ARE EXPECTED AT TAF SITES. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...CONVECTION
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WIND DOWN IN THE EVENING HOURS. FOG FORECAST
AT CECIL TERMINAL AGAIN DUE TO PERSISTENCE AND MVFR AND OCNL IFR
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME AROUND 07Z-12Z. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING
CLOSER TO THE AREA TONIGHT WITH APPROACH OF MID LEVEL TROUGH MAY
ENHANCE CONVECTIVE CHANCES AT SSI THROUGH THE NIGHT AND HAVE
THEREFORE LEFT VCSH. FOR THU...FOR NOW JUST INDICATED CB AND BKN
DECK NEAR 5 KFT AT ALL TAF SITES.
&&
.MARINE...SLY WINDS WILL BE THE RULE UNTIL THU THEN A GRADUAL SHIFT
TO ELY TO NELY BY THU EVENING AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY/TROUGH SAGS SWD.
SFC HIGH PRES WILL BUILD N OF THE AREA ON FRI INCREASING NELY WINDS.
NAM AND GFS DISAGREE ON DETAILS ON TIMING OF STRONGER WINDS
DEVELOPING ON FRI SO USED A BLEND OF PRIOR FORECAST AND CURRENT GFS
INDICATING INCREASING WINDS TO 15-20 KT. POOR BOATING CONDS ARE
LIKELY TO CONT INTO THE WEEKEND AS RELATIVELY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS N OF AREA. DECREASING WINDS AND SEAS MAY BRIEFLY DEVELOP BY
LATE SUN. MORE UNCERTAINLY CREEPS INTO THE FORECAST FOR MON AS UPPER
LEVEL LOW AND POSSIBLY ASSOCD SFC REFLECTION MOVE ACROSS BAHAMAS SO
ELY WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS (3-5 FT) MAY CONTINUE ON MON.
