AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
1101 AM EDT Fri Jun 1 2012
.UPDATE...Water vapor imagery indicates a shortwave moving along
the northern gulf coast this morning, currently situated over the
western Panhandle. This feature helped to spark an overnight MCS
across southern Alabama. Outflow from the decaying MCS has
triggered numerous showers and thunderstorms along the I-10
corridor in the panhandle this morning. Additional scattered
convection has also developed ahead of the shortwave across the
Florida Big Bend. Raised the PoPs in the forecast this morning to
account for the early start to the convection. How this unfolds
through the afternoon and evening is still unclear.Expect the
eastern half of the area to have the best rain chances through the
afternoon and early evening as the decaying MCS and shortwave
continue to trigger convection. Over the western portion of the
forecast area, there is significant residual cloud cover from
the earlier convection. In addition, further activity may be
suppressed in the wake of the exiting shortwave this afternoon.
Therefore, have dropped PoPs slightly for western areas through
the rest of the morning, and dropped forecast max temps a few
degrees.
&&
.AVIATION...A fairly high coverage of showers and thunderstorms
is expected to impact the terminals today, first starting around
KECP and KDHN and progressing eastward through the day. The timing
for tempos was based on current radar extrapolation and the hi-
resolution model consensus. MVFR to IFR conditions can be expected
near the thunderstorms. VFR conditions should prevail outside of
the rain today with the exception of some early morning light fog
around KVLD.
.MARINE...Southwest winds will stay near 15 knots over the coastal
waters ahead of an approaching cold front. May see a few higher
gusts in association with passing thunderstorms. However, no
headlines appear necessary at this time.
