AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 244 PM EDT Tue Jul 10 2012 .NEAR TERM /through Tonight/... A sizable cluster of thunderstorms is moving in from the the west this afternoon. Sea breeze convection is also quite developed just inland from the coastline...mainly west of TLH. Expect that the sea breeze convection will continue the march inland this afternoon and eventually wane as is typical. The meteorological wildcard is the cluster of storms from the west. This activity is also expected to die off this evening. However, not before affecting western zones in the FL panhandle and SE Alabama. PoPs have been increased into the tonight period as a result. Only small tweaks were made to the forecast in other areas. && .SHORT TERM [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]... Convective coverage will continue the trend of recent days and increase over the next couple, especially across our eastern zones. The broad diffuse upper trough to our west will continue to enhance convection on its southern and eastern periphery as it remains nearly stationary. Water vapor imagery indicates a vort center over the southeast Gulf of Mexico just northwest of the western tip of Cuba. This feature has also been generating quite a bit of convection. The surface reflection is a weak trough extending from the Yucatan northeast to the southwest coast of FL. Most of the models bring this feature northwestward as the open wave it currently is. The NAM develops the system into a deepening low and then brings it to the coast near Mobile on Friday. This is an outlier solution, and considering this model's tendencies with developing tropical features, it will be discounted. Nevertheless, the trough will bring increasing moisture into the region. Low to mid level flow will be out of the south-southeast (local sea breeze regime type 6). This is a high PoP regime. Everything therefore points to a wet forecast. PoPs on Wednesday will be in the likely range across our FL zones and 50 to the north. Add about 10 percent on Thursday. The abundant clouds and numerous showers will keep temps a bit cooler than recent days with highs generally in the lower 90s. Lows will be in the lower 70s. Both these numbers are very near climo. && .LONG TERM [Friday through next Tuesday]... An unsettled period is expected with southeasterly flow keeping a moist and unstable airmass in place through early next week. PoPs are expected to range between 40 and 60 percent through the period (climo for this time of year is near 50 percent) with mainly diurnal convection over land and nocturnal convection offshore. Near seasonal temperatures are expected with highs in the low to mid 90s and lows in the low to mid 70s. && .AVIATION [starting 18Z Tuesday]... Mainly VFR conditions expected. Sea breeze convective activity will cause some concerns for aviation interests this afternoon. This is especially true for location west of a line from from ABY to TLH. Some of these storms can be intense with strong wind gusts. Activity is expected to subside later tonight and shift offshore with the land breeze. Expect another round of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow as well. && .MARINE... Winds and seas are forecast to remain low for the next several days. Winds will transition to primarily a southeast direction as a trough of low pressure lifts northwestward from the southeast Gulf of Mexico into the central Gulf. After this trough crosses the coast, a ridge of high pressure north of the area will once again become the dominant feature, keeping winds out of the southeast. && .FIRE WEATHER... Red flag conditions are not expected for the next several days with moist onshore flow continuing through the week and into the weekend. && .TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None. GA...None.
