NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 1:20 PM EST, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 220 PM EDT SAT JUN 8 2013 .SHORT TERM...SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE CURRENTLY HAVING A TOUGH TIME DEVELOPING GIVEN A LITTLE CIN AROUND 850 TO 700 MB AND DRY AIR ALOFT. RAP SOUNDING SHOWS PWAT NEAR 1.45 INCHES NEAR JAX INDICATING THE DRYNESS IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. STILL...WE EXPECT THAT ISOLD TO SCT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP WITH THE BEST FOCUS OF ACTIVITY OVER NE FL WHERE SEA BREEZE MERGERS ARE MORE LIKELY. UPPER LEVELS SHOW SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE DIVERGENCE OVER PARTS OF NE FL WITH THE REGION IN THE RRQ OF A 50-60 KT JET. LIKE WAS MENTIONED IN EARLIER DISCUSSION...THE DRY AIR ALOFT WILL SERVE TO ENHANCE ANY DOWNBURSTS...SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN FOR REST OF TODAY AND EARLY THIS EVENING. SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...CONTINUED GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG MODELS ON DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE RETURNING TO THE AREA AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES IN FROM THE GULF. WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE AN ONSET OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS BY EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE SHORT WAVE INTERACTS WITH AN ACTIVE WEST COAST SEABREEZE AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING. STORMS MAY LINGER ALONG THE EAST COAST DURING THE EARLY EVENING FROM WEST/EAST COAST SEABREEZE MERGER. GIVEN HIGH PWAT (2+ INCHES) AND INSTABILITY (CAPES 2500-3000J) A FEW STORMS COULD GET STRONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...AND GUSTY WINDS. CLOUD COVER AND AND HIGHER PRECIP COVERAGE WILL HELP KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES UNDER CHECK SUNDAY AND WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...WITH WARM/HUMID CONDITIONS SUNDAY NIGHT. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES STATES EARLY ON MON INTO NEW ENGLAND BY LATE TUES. THIS FEATURE WILL PUSH THE AXIS OF ATLANTIC RIDGING INTO THE FL PENINSULA BY TUES...WHICH WILL KEEP MEAN LAYER SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW IN PLACE LOCALLY. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARY COLLISIONS WILL RESULT IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR ON MON...WITH SCATTERED ACTIVITY EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. ABUNDANT MID AND HIGH ALTITUDE CLOUDINESS AND RAINFALL SHOULD KEEP HIGHS AROUND OR JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMO ON MON...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S. CLOUDS AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S WILL KEEP LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 70-75 DEGREE RANGE. MOISTURE LEVELS SLOWLY DECREASE ON TUES...BUT FORCING FROM A WEAK BOUNDARY SINKING INTO OUR AREA SHOULD PROMOTE SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTIVE COVERAGE. LESS MORNING CLOUD COVER WILL ALLOW HIGHS ON TUES TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 90S...WITH UPPER 80S AT THE COAST. ACTIVITY ALONG A WEAK SOUTHWARD MOVING BOUNDARY MAY CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS ON TUES IN NORTHEAST FL. LOWS WILL AGAIN ONLY FALL TO THE 70-75 RANGE. LONG-TERM GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE PLAINS STATES BY MIDWEEK. THIS WILL CHANGE OUR FLOW ALOFT LOCALLY TO NORTHWEST TO NORTHERLY...WHICH WILL ADVECT DRIER AIR ALOFT INTO OUR REGION. THE AXIS OF ATLANTIC RIDGING WILL BE DISPLACED OVER SOUTH FL...AND A WESTERLY STEERING FLOW SHOULD FOCUS WIDELY SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR...WITH ONLY ISOLATED POPS EXPECTED ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GA. LESS CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL COVERAGE WILL ALLOW HIGHS TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S INLAND AND NEAR 90 AT THE COAST ON WED AND THURS. TROUGHING MAY STRENGTHEN ENOUGH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON FRI TO BRING A LATE SEASON COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO OUR REGION. THE FRONT WILL STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SAT. HAVE DEPICTED SCATTERED POPS REGION-WIDE FOR FRI...WITH SCATTERED POPS CONFINED MAINLY FOR NE FL AND COASTAL SE GA FOR SAT. DESPITE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE... TEMPERATURES STILL AVERAGING NEAR NORMAL. && .AVIATION...SCT CUMULUS AROUND TAF SITES WITH JUST VERY ISOLD SHOWER CELLS POPPING UP AT 1810Z. CLOSEST SCT CONVECTION TO THE TAF SITES AT THIS TIME IS JUST OF MARION COUNTY MOVING NEWD WHICH WILL MISS TAFS. HOWEVER...ISOLD TO SCT SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED AND COULD AFFECT TAF SITES REMAINDER OF THE AFTN AND EVENING AS AN EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IS GETTING UNDERWAY NEAR THE COAST BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH FOR INSERTING TEMPO GROUPS. BY MIDNIGHT MOST CONVECTION EXPECTED TO BE DISSIPATED BUT ISOLD CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE AS DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES S TO N OVER THE AREA. && MARINE...WINDS/SEAS WILL REMAIN UNDER SCEC CRITERIA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE REMAINS FROM ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TO THE LOCAL WATERS. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET. RIP CURRENTS: LOW RISK THROUGH SUNDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
