AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
320 PM EDT THU JUL 23 2015
...HEAT ADVISORY FOR MOST AREAS REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...
...STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS THIS LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...
...STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
.NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MOIST LOW LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PERSIST ACROSS THE
REGION. 12Z JAX SOUNDING HAS INCREASED TO 2.14" THIS MORNING. OUR
REGION IS BETWEEN FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER SOUTH CAROLINA AND
NORTHERN GORGIA AND RIDGE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. THERE IS AMPLE
SUNSHINE AND HEATING THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL FURNISH SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INITIALLY
DEVELOPED NORTH CENTRAL FL THIS EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO MOVE NORTHWARD TOWARD THE
INTERSTATE 10 REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON. HRRR/ARW GUIDANCE INDICATE
SOME WEAKENING IN THE OFFSHORE FLOW BY LATE AFT WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TO FORM ALONG THE COAST AND MOVE TO A1A
REGION AND POTENTIALLY TO I-95. ACROSS GEORGIA...A LITTLE LATER
START TO CONVECTION. THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS DO SHOW INCREASE
OF CONVECTION DURING THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA
TRANSLATING SOUTHEASTWARD DURING THE EARLY AND MID EVENING ACROSS
CENTRAL GEORGIA MOVING INTO SE GEORGIA. PER THE HIGH RESOLUTION
MODELS...THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL POTENTIALLY INCREASE ACROSS SE
GA FROM 23Z TO 03Z PUSHING JUST SOUTH OF THE GEORGIA/FLORIDA
BORDER TO JUST NORTH OF I-10. MAIN THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR ANY SLOWER MOVING STORMS. DURING THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD...THE SW FLOW WILL LIKELY BRING SOME SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND
WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS WITH SOME OF THESE
STORMS MOVING INTO NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA REGION AROUND DAYBREAK.
IN ADDITION...WITH THE SFC TROF WILL BE NEAR THE NORTHERN CWA
BOUNDARY. HENCE...HAVE PUT IN SCATTERED RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FAR WESTERN SECTIONS OF INTERIOR SE GA.
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MAIN CONCERN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE IN PLACE AS A SURFACE TROUGH SETTLES SOUTH
ACROSS THE AREA AND BRINGS NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. 48 HOUR
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS EXPECTED ACROSS NE FL. LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS CAN BE
EXPECTED. WE DECIDED AGAINST A FLOOD WATCH SINCE ANY FLOODING
CONCERNS WILL REMAIN LOCALIZED.
RAIN WILL BEGIN EARLY THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND MAY ALSO LINGER
THROUGH THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS NE FL AS THE
TROUGH AXIS SETTLES NEAR THE FL/GA BORDER. THE EARLY START TO
PRECIPITATION AND THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPS DOWN
AND WE HAVE LEANED ON THE LOWER END OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE WITH
RESPECT TO MAX TEMPS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WILL ALSO HOLD
CAPE VALUES DOWN WHICH SHOULD HELP DIMINISH THE THREAT OF SEVERE
STORMS. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL.
THE TROUGH WILL TRANSITION JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY WITH
ONSHORE FLOW EXPECTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
LOWER AND MAINLY CONFINED TO NE FL WHERE WIDELY SCATTERED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY MOVE IN OFF OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
DEPENDING ON WHERE THE WEAK LOW DEVELOPS OFFSHORE ON THE STALLED
TROUGH AXIS.
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ONSHORE FLOW ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL TRANSITION BACK TO
OFFSHORE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. INITIAL
RIDGING OVER THE AREA WILL HELP TO SUPPRESS CONVECTION A BIT EARLY
IN THE WEEK BUT TROUGHING WILL TAKE BACK OVER BY MID WEEK
RESULTING IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE SOUTHWEST FLOW AND A RETURN TO
ABOVE NORMAL AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION.

.AVIATION... VFR WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
SOME INTERMITTENT MVFR VIS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT VQQ 09-12Z. WITH
SCATTERED TSTM COVERAGE THIS AFTN...HAVE USED VCTS AND TEMPO
GROUPS FOR ALL SITES. TSTMS WILL DIMINISH OVER AREA TERMINALS
AFTER 03Z THIS EVENING...WITH SAINT SIMONS STILL POTENTIALLY
HAVING LINGERING TSTMS THROUGH THE LATER PART OF THE EVENING.
TSTMS MAY POTENTIALLY DEVELOP EARLIER IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY...WITH
VCTS PUT IN THE FORECAST DURING THE EARLY DAYLIGHT HOURS DUE TO
AMPLE SWLY FLOW AND ENCROACHING SFC FRONT.
&&
.MARINE...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH
PERIODS OF CAUTION LEVEL WINDS OFFSHORE. WINDS WILL TURN TO
ONSHORE FOR THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A TROUGH MOVES SOUTH OF
THE REGION.
