AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
245 PM EDT WED APR 26 2006

.SYNOPSIS...RADAR SHOWS BROAD AREAS OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS MOVING NE
AT 25 MPH LIKLEY PRODUCING SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS....DANGEROUS
LIGHTNING AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS. TEMPS AROUND 70 NORTH TO UPPER
70S PANHANDLE COAST. DEW POINTS FROM MID 60S NORTH TO AROUND 70
SOUTH.

BROAD H2 TROF OVER MID-MS VALLEY WILL CONT TO MOVE EWD LATER TODAY
INTO KY/TENN AND TO N GA TONIGHT. STRONG H5 WLY FLOW NOTED S/SE OF
TROF AND SPREADING SEWD INTO GULF STATES. THIS FAVORS INCREASING
DEEP LYR SHEAR THAT WILL IN TURN FAVOR ORGANIZED STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS ACROSS CWA REST OF AFTN AND EVENING. COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM
NE MISS TO ERN TENN TO BE DRAGGED SEWD TO CWA THIS EVENING. CLOSER
TO HOME...H5-H3 IMPULSE MOVING ACROSS GULF COAST SUPPORTING
INCREASING WLY FLOW/JET. BELOW IMPULSE...MCS OBSERVED FROM SE LA
SPREADING EWD TO WRN FLA PANHANDLE. CLUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOPED IN
IMPULSE GENERATED COLD POOL FROM MOBILE EAST ACROSS FLA PANHANDLE...
ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. SEVERAL OUTFLOWS PROPAGATING AHEAD OF
MCS WITH GUST FRONT GENERATING DOWNDRAFTS IN GA/FLA ESPECIALLY WITH
DRY MID-LVL AIR ENHANCING EVAPORATIVE COOLING. EVEN A POSSIBLE
TORNADO. AHEAD OF MCS/FRONT...SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE 70S FLA/SRN
GA AND IN THE 60S IN SE ALA WITH ML CAPE 1-2K AIDED BY DIURNAL
HEATING. INCREASING PWAT ALSO YIELDING LIKELY LOCALIZED FLOODING.
SPC CONTS TO HIGHLIGHT ENTIRE CWA IN SLIGHT RISK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
TONIGHT...WITH THE FRONT PROGGED BY BOTH THE GFS AND NAM TO BE
TRAVERSING THE CWA BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z THURS...WILL GO WITH A
DECREASING TREND IN POPS FROM 00Z TO 12Z THURS. WILL USE AN
EVENING GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR HIGHER POPS AND POSSIBLE SEVERE STORMS
THEN EMPLOY TONIGHT GROUPS WITH SHARP W-E GRADIENTS. HIGHEST POPS
VLD AT 60% DOWN TO 30% AT DHN. SHOULD SEE THE FRONT CLEAR THE CWA
AROUND DAYBREAK. WITH WINDS AND CLOUD COVER MOST OF THE NIGHT...WILL
TREND TOWARD THE WARMER MAV GUIDANCE HERE.

THURSDAY...WITH THE FRONT CLEARING OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING...WILL
SEE CLEARING SKIES GIVING WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS BY
AFTERNOON. AIRMASS WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER AND DRIER WITH MAX
TEMPS ONLY REACHING UP INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S. NO POPS IN THE
FORECAST AS HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING SOUTH OVER THE REGION.

THURSDAY NIGHT...BIG CONCERN WILL BE MIN TEMPS. CLASSIC SET UP FOR
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. SURFACE ANTICYCLONE PROGGED TO
BE MOVING OVERHEAD BY DAYBREAK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR CALM WINDS AND
CLEAR SKIES. MODEL GUIDANCE APPEARS TO BE SETTLING IN AROUND 50
FOR MOST OF THE AREA. WE MAY HAVE A FEW OF THE COLDEST LOCATIONS...
WESTERN GENEVA/COFFEE COUNTIES IN AL AND THE SANDY SOIL CORRIDOR IN
THE FLA BIG BEND THAT SEE UPPER 40S...BUT THESE WILL BE ISOLATED.

FRIDAY...BEAUTIFUL DAY ON TAP WITH LOW HUMIDITY AND TEMPS WARMING
INTO THE LOW 80S WITH NO RAIN IN SIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY).
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE LONG RANGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST
IN REGARDS TO TIMING OF THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT THE GFS PROGS
TO APPROACH THE CWA LATE SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY. THE 25/12Z ECMWF
IS MUCH SLOWER WITH THIS FEATURE. IT HOLDS A FRONTAL PASSAGE BACK
UNTIL MONDAY EVENING. CONSIDERING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO
MODELS AND THAT IT IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO SEE A COLD FRONT
PROGRESS SO QUICKLY THIS TIME OF YEAR IN THE DEEP SOUTH...WILL GIVE
SOME WEIGHT TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION. THIS CALLS FOR A REDUCTION IN MEX
GUIDANCE POPS SOMEWHAT. SINCE THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY...IM NOT
GOING TO GO DRY ON SUNDAY...BUT UNDERCUT THE MEX GUIDANCE ABOUT 10
PERCENT. WILL GO ABOUT 15 TO 20 PERCENT LOWER ON MONDAY...AND THEN
GO AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE FOR TUESDAY. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOK
TO BE A LITTLE COOLER THAN WHAT WEVE SEEN THE LAST WEEK OR SO.
NEVERTHELESS...THIS WILL BE RIGHT AROUND CLIMATOLOGY FOR THIS TIME
OF THE YEAR.

&&

.MARINE...EXERCISE CAUTION FOR PANHANDLE WINDS THIS EVENING
SPREADING TO ERN WATERS THURS MORNING. SEAS COULD BE HIGHER THAN
FORECAST IN AND AROUND ANY THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. WINDS AND
SEAS DIMINISH WELL BEHIND THE FRONT ON FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE AREA. CONDITIONS OVER THE WATERS APPROACHING CAUTION
AND ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR SUNDAY DUE TO A TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...BEHIND THE FRONT...AIR MASS WILL NOTICEABLY DRY OUT.
MODEL RH SHOWS SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WITH FASTER MAV DRYING OUT
QUICKER THAN SLOWER NAM. WILL USE GFS AS IT HAS INITIALIZED BETTER
WITH CURRENT STORM. THIS PUTS 4-5 HOURS AOB 35PCT INLAND TOMORROW
WITH DRIEST AIR WRN PANHANDLE TO MORE MARGINAL AIR ERN BIG BEND...
NAM DOESNT JUSTIFY WARNING FOR 4 HR RH DURATIONS. HOWEVER 20 FT
WINDS APPROACHES 15 MPH. SO WE WILL ISSUE RED FLAG FOR INLAND
COUNTIES OF FLA TOMORROW AND FIRE WX WATCH FOR ALL BUT IMMEDIATE
COAST ON FRIDAY. NO CONCERNS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...CURRENTLY MOSTLY VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS. LARGE AREA OF
SHRA AND TSRA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWA. TEMPOS FOR LOW
CIGS ALONG WITH WX WILL BRING FLIGHT CATS DOWN TO MVFR THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EARLY EVENING. SMALL HAIL...GUSTY
WINDS AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA...SOUTH
CENTRAL GEORGIA...SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND GULF OF MEXICO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY BRINGING NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...SEVERAL OF THE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR
APPEARS TO BE A LACK OF INSTABILITY DUE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED
AHEAD OF THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY
IS PRESENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...SOME OF THE
STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION ENDING FROM WEST TO
EAST SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THERE IS ALSO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE
PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND BEACHES. ONLY THOSE EXPERIENCED IN SWIMMING
IN THE SURF SHOULD ENTER THE WATER TODAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE THE
NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE
STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM. FOR THIS REASON...ONLY A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST FROM
SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WITH A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...SPOTTER ACTIVATION
MAY BE REQUIRED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
