AS SURFACE RIDGE DRIFTS SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON...THE FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ONSHORE...HELPING TO PUSH THE SEA BREEZE WELL INLAND. CONVECTION WILL LARGELY BE ALONG AND WEST OF THE SEA BREEZE...SO EXPECT MUCH OF THE COASTAL LOCATIONS TO BE DRY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH BEST STORM CHANCES ALONG THE INTERSTATE 75 CORRIDOR. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...EXPECT STORMS TO QUICKLY DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. A FEW POCKETS OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT...BUT SHOULD NOT BE DENSE ENOUGH TO HAVE MUCH IMPACT ON VISIBILITIES. TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A SFC RIDGE WILL BE THE DOMINATE LOW LEVEL FEATURE THROUGH THIS PERIOD WHICH WILL INITIALLY BE ACROSS S CENTRAL GA AND WILL SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE GA/FL STATION LINE BY LATE THU. AIRMASS WILL DRY OUT FURTHER ON TUE WITH PWATS OF AROUND 1.4 INCHES WITH MEAN FLOW FROM SFC TO 25 KFT NE TO E AROUND 10 KT. THIS WILL HELP STEER ANY CONVECTION INLAND DURING THE DAY BUT WITH LOW MOISTURE CONTENT AND SOME MID TO UPPER LEVEL SUBSIDENCE ONLY ANTICIPATE ISOLD CONVECTION...BUT ADJUSTED POPS UP FROM GUIDANCE BY ABOUT 10% WITH AROUND A 20% CHANCE FOR TUE (BASED ON NAM/SREF) WITH CONVECTION FORMED MAINLY BY SEA BREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ANY CONVECTION TUE EVENING SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE EVENING. FOR WED AND THU...MODELS SHOW AN INVERTED TROUGH IN THE MID LEVELS TRANSLATING ACROSS THE REGION THOUGH PWATS WILL REMAIN A BIT BELOW NORMAL. WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS THAN TUE AROUND 20-30% FOR MAINLY NE FL. ON THU THIS FEATURE WILL BE W OF THE AREA BUT ANOTHER INVERTED DISTURBANCE IN THE ELY WILL APPROACH FROM THE E AND SE BUT NOT AS WELL-DEFINED OR STRONG AS WED.

A SFC RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST REGION ON FRI AND SAT AND DRIFT S INTO CENTRAL FL BY SUN AND MON WHILE A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY SINKS SEWD ERN U.S. WITH PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH LOCATED FROM NC TO GA.

WHILE PRECIP CHANCES CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT AT ANY OF THE AREA TAF SITES TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BETTER CHANCES INLAND TOWARD KGNV. && .MARINE... LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH SPEEDS MOSTLY REMAINING AROUND 10 KNOTS OR LESS...ALTHOUGH A PERIOD OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND SPEEDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE ATLANTIC SEABREEZE. A SLIGHTLY MORE SLY WIND FLOW LOOKS POSSIBLE FRI AND SAT AND SFC RIDGE DRIFTS INTO NRN FL. SEAS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 2 TO 3 FEET THROUGH THE PERIOD.
