NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville Florida 904 am EDT Wednesday may 16 2012 Update... a shortwave is presently located over Louisiana. Southwesterly flow over the eastern Gulf is supplying deep moisture to the local area. A nocturnal mesoscale convective system is currently moving onshore from appalachee Bay and speading showers over Suwannee Valley and into the I-75 corridor. Have increased probability of precipitation over the western Florida zones this morning. Abundant high cloudiness blankets the forecast area as a 60-70 knots upper jet spreads clouds ahead of the mesoscale convective system. As mentioned in previous discussion...another active day is anticipated despite the thick morning clouds. Kjax 12z sounding displays steeper lapse rates and thus more instability than yesterday...showing a cape above 4000 j/kg. However bufr model soundings forecast cape ranging from 2000 to 3000 j/kg. Although surface heating may be delayed due to cloud cover...strong dynamics associated with the eastern Gulf disturbance will combine with strong instability and myriad of boundaries and sea breezes to produce another active day beginning over NE Florida this morning and focusing along the entire East Coast later in the afternoon. && Aviation... nearby wildfire is causing restricted visibility at vqq and jax with prevailing MVFR. Expect improvement around 15z. Otherwise VFR conds prevail this morning with ceilings above 12 kft. Rain showers moving in off the Gulf will likely reach gnv in next hour and will amend soon. Amendments will be issued as timing of thunderstorms and rain may change throughout the day. && Marine... no headlines today. Winds are SW to west generally less than 15 knots at the buoys. Seas are around 3 feet this morning. Benign conditions will continue through early Friday morning. Rip currents: low risk through Thursday due to light offshore winds. && Preliminary point temps/pops... amg 84 63 88 63 / 40 30 50 50 ssi 79 69 80 68 / 50 40 50 50 jax 83 65 85 65 / 60 60 60 60 sgj 81 68 80 68 / 60 60 60 60 gnv 84 63 87 63 / 60 60 60 60 ocf 84 65 87 63 / 60 60 60 60 && Jax watches/warnings/advisories...
