NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
140 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
INITIAL CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL

CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. LOWS TNGT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S INLAND...WITH MID 70S COAST.

WEDNESDAY...A RATHER DEEP TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE AREA...WITH
A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ROTATING ACROSS THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY AFTN. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH SMALL SCALE/SEABREEZE
INTERACTIONS FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA TO GENERATE
ABOVE AVERAGE PRECIP COVERAGE. WILL USE NUMEROUS POPS FOR ALL
AREAS WEDNESDAY AFTN. THICKER CLOUDS AND EARLIER ONSET OF PRECIP
WILL LIKELY TEMPER HEATING QUITE A BIT...THUS AMOUNT OF TSTMS
ARE IN QUESTION...BUT FOR NOW WILL USE NUMEROUS TSTMS FOR MOST
AREAS. A FEW STORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE FL...COULD BECOME
STRONG IN THE AFTN WITH GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER DUE TO CLOUDS/PRECIP,..WITH MID TO
UPPER 80S FOR MOST AREAS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY...STORMS WILL TRACK OFF THE EAST COAST

MIDNIGHT. STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP NEAR THE GULF COAST EARLY MORNING
AND DEEP SWLY FLOW WILL SPREAD THE NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS INLAND
TOWARD THE ATLC COAST DURING THE DAY AND INTO THE ATLC. MODELS
SHOW A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH THURS NIGHT
AND WILL KEEP LOW END POPS MOST OF THE NIGHT. MAX TEMPS WILL BE IN
THE 80S DUE TO RAIN AND CLOUDS. LOWS WILL BE NEAR CLIMO IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS DIFFER WITH TIMING OF UPPER TROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THE ECMWF
IS FASTER...SHOWING A CLOSED LOW OVER AL/GA ON SATURDAY/SUNDAY...
THEN LIFT THE LOW INTO THE CAROLINAS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS SHOWS
A CLOSED LOW OVER THE LOWER MISS VALLEY FRIDAY/SAT...THEN SHOWS A
RIDGE BRIDGING THE TROUGH WHICH LIFT NORTHWARD. BOTH SHOW RIDGING
OVER FL PENINSULA BY TUESDAY. THESE DIFFERENCES HAVE CHANGED LITTLE
IN LATEST MODEL RUNS...THEREFORE WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT FORECAST.
EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTN/EVE. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
PERSISTS FRI/SAT THEN A MORE SOLID EASTERLY TO SELY FLOW RETURNING
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. IF THIS PLAYS OUT THIS WAY...THEN ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE ATLANTIC COAST IN
THE MORNING...PUSHING WEST AND BECOMING MORE SCATTERED DURING BY
AFTERNOON WITH SOME ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE NEAR THE I-75 CORRIDOR IN
THE AFTERNOON.
