NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 8:05 AM EST, 4 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 905 AM EDT SUN JUN 6 2010 .UPDATE... UPDATE TO THE UPDATE...SPC HAS JUST PLACED THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS DOESN'T CHANGE THE THINKING AS WE ARE ALREADY ADVERTISING THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES AND GRAPHICS TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING PRECIPITATION COMING OUT OF APALACHEE BAY. LOW CLOUDINESS EVIDENT ON SATELLITE OVER NORTH FLORIDA SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 10 WILL LIKELY INHIBIT DIURNAL HEATING AND DELAY THE ONSET OF CONVECTION IN THAT AREA. THAT SAID STILL EXPECT IT TO OCCUR JUST A TAD BUT LATER. INITIAL CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BREAK OUT OVER DIXIE AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA. OTHERWISE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FORECAST AREA WILL LIKELY OCCUR NEAR AND NORTH OF THE LOW CLOUD BANK WERE A SIGNIFICANT TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL WILL OCCUR OVER A FEW MILES. ALL IN ALL...THINGS ARE GOING TO POP ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. && .JAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...NONE. GA...NONE. AM...NONE. && SANDRIK/KEEGAN
