AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
244 PM EST WED NOV 7 2007

FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT FOR INLAND AREAS

.SHORT TERM...COLD AIR HAS BEEN POURING INTO THE AREA TODAY BEHIND
YESTERDAYS COLD FRONT. TEMPS STRUGGLING INTO THE LOWER 60S THIS
AFTERNOON AT MOST LOCATIONS. COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON SO FAR ON
TAP TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE NOSES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. NOT A
PERFECT SETUP FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH RIDGE AXIS TO THE
NORTH...BUT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR TEMPS TO DROP JUST BELOW
FREEZING OVER INLAND...AND MAINLY RURAL...AREAS. DURATIONS BELOW
FREEZING WILL BE MARGINAL BUT 2 HOURS IS POSSIBLE AND WILL UPGRADE
CURRENT FREEZE WATCH TO FREEZE WARNING. WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
MENTION PATCHY FROST.

UPPER TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH ON THURSDAY SO
AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL NOT MODERATE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BE A BIT MORE FAVORABLE POSITION FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING THURSDAY
NIGHT SO EXPECT LOWS TO DROP CLOSE TO FREEZING ONCE AGAIN.

.LONG TERM...TROUGH LIFTS OUT TO THE EAST WITH RIDGE BUILDING OVER
THE DEEP SOUTH STARTING SATURDAY SO EXPECT A GRADUAL WARMING TREND
OVER THE WEEKEND. REMAINS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY NEXT WEEK
WITH THE EVOLUTION/EXISTENCE OF A CUTOFF LOW MOVING ACROSS THE
DEEP SOUTH. GFS MAINTAINS THIS SOLUTION WHILE ECMWF HAS THE CUTOFF
BEING ABSORBED INTO THE LARGER FULL LATITUDE TROUGH. THIS
EVOLUTION HAS IMPLICATIONS IN TERMS OF RAIN CHANCES AND POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER. CURRENT GRIDS CARRYING ONLY LOW CHANCE POPS
AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION...CLEAR SKIES AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. EXPECT THE NORTHERLY WINDS TO TREND DOWN OVER THE
EVENING HOURS 5 KT OR LESS.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS SUBSIDING OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT AND REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO LONG DURATIONS OF RELATIVE
HUMIDITY. THE GA/AL COUNTIES WILL BE MARGINAL WITH REGARDS TO THE
FOUR HOUR DURATIONS OF RH BELOW 25 PERCENT THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. FOR THURSDAY/FRIDAY AFTERNOON...EXPECT THE DRY CONDITIONS
TO PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA AS THE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE REGION. THURSDAY...WILL GO WITH A RED FLAG WARNING ACROSS
THE FLORIDA COUNTIES AND LEAVE THE WATCH UP ELSEWHERE. ON
FRIDAY...WILL ONLY GO WITH A WATCH ACROSS THE FLORIDA AREAS.
