AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
1230 AM EDT Mon May 28 2012
...Tropical Storm Beryl has made landfall near Jacksonville Beach in
Northeast FL at 1210 AM EDT Monday morning...
...Heavy rain possible late tonight through Monday in our area...
.Discussion...Just made some minor adjustments to the 00 to 06 UTC
PoP, but did make some more extensive changes to the winds over the
coastal waters which did result in a cautionary headline for the
eastern legs. Also, ran an abbreviated run of our local SWAN model,
and it gave us seas building from 2 to 3 feet by late tonight, and 3
to 5 feet during the day on Monday.
&&
.AVIATION...Conditions will gradually deteriorate over the eastern
terminals as Beryl approaches the area. Cigs will gradually lower
with increasing winds and occasional squalls through the period. The
western terminals of KECP and KDHN will see less impacts. KVLD could
see wind gusts near 30 knots by Monday morning.
