14-MROCZKA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
100 PM EDT THU APR 19 2007

.SYNOPSIS...OUTSIDE OF THE SMOKE FROM THE SE GA FIRE WHICH IS
SKIRTING EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...SKIES
ARE SUNNY ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. TEMPS ARE RECOVERING NICELY INTO
THE 70S...ON THEIR WAY INTO THE LOWER 80S AWAY FROM THE COAST LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS REMAIN GENERALLY
LIGHT OUT OF THE N...WITH A LIGHT SEA BREEZE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
NEAR THE COAST VERY SOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND DRY FORECAST OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...WHICH IS CERTAINLY NOT GOOD NEWS FOR THE ONGOING WILD
FIRES ACROSS SE GA AND SE FL. ON THE OTHER HAND...IT SHOULD BE IDEAL
WEATHER FOR BEACH GOERS AS WELL AS OTHERS ENJOYING OUTSIDE
ACTIVITIES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS HIGH TEMPS SHOULD TOP
OUT NEAR THE 80 DEGREE MARK...WITH LOWS DIPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S
TO LOWER 50S...WHICH WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE TWO MAIN FEATURES OF SYNOPTIC INFLUENCE
ACROSS OUR AREA WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW DIPPING SOUTHEASTWARD
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO OFF THE FL EAST COAST IN 24 TO 36 HRS...WITH
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING IN OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST ON
SATURDAY. ONCE THE UPPER TROF EXITS OUR AREA AND THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS IN...INCREASING 500 MB HEIGHTS SHOULD ALLOW A WARMING TREND
TO BEGIN BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY
ONCE THE COOLER SFC RIDGE MOVES OFF THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS.

&&

.LONG TERM...WILL ALSO HAVE A MAINLY DRY LONG TERM PORTION OF THE
FORECAST THIS CYCLE. UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE EASTERN CONUS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND GRADUALLY SHIFT OFF THE
EAST COAST BY TUESDAY. SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE INTO THE WEST
ATLANTIC BY MONDAY CREATING ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS THE REGION ONCE
AGAIN. RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW...LESS THAN 10
PERCENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY DESPITE THIS ONSHORE FLOW. BY THURSDAY AN
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM WILL NECESSITATE POPS IN THE FORECAST...BUT
ONLY 20 PERCENT AS MODEL TRENDS HAVE BEEN SLOWER AND SLIGHTLY WEAKER
WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL LARGELY BE
A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE CLIMO AND WILL STAY CLOSE TO THE MEX GUIDANCE
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WORKS ITS WAY DOWN THE EAST COAST
AND DRAGS A DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION...THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT MAY TIGHTEN ENOUGH TO BRIEFLY INCREASE WINDS AND SEAS ON
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...BEFORE THE SUBSEQUENT SFC RIDGE BUILDS IN
FROM THE N AND WEAKENS THE GRADIENT.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
INTO THIS EVENING. ONCE AGAIN ONLY CONCERN WILL BE THE PLUME OF
SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHICH HAS BEEN DRIFTING
INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL GA/FL BIG BEND INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. WINDS HAVE BEEN COMING AROUND TO A MORE N/NW DIRECTION
AND THIS IS HELPING TO KEEP PUSH MUCH OF THE SMOKE EAST OF OUR
REGION. WILL STILL CONTINUE MENTION OF SMOKE IN EASTERN PORTION OF
TWEB ROUTE 112. AS LOW PRESSURE DROPS SOUTHEAST OFF THE GA COAST
TONIGHT MAY SEE SOME PATCHY BKN MVFR CONDITIONS FROM KABY TO KVLD
HOWEVER THINK MUCH OF THIS WILL REMAIN EAST OF REGION. WINDS WILL
COME BACK AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. THE CONCERN AT THIS TIME
IS THAT THIS FLOW WILL BRING SMOKE BACK INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
REGION INCLUDING KVLD AND POSSIBLY EVEN KTLH DURING THE MORNING
HOURS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE FAIRLY DRY WX OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
SHOULD ALLOW THE EASIER 35% CRITERIA TO CONTINUE TO BE REACHED
ACROSS MUCH OF N FL...BUT THE MORE DIFFICULT 25% BARRIER OVER SE AL
AND SW GA MAY REQUIRE THE WARMING TREND TO TAKE PLACE LATE IN THE
WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE RED FLAG CONDITIONS BECOME A
POSSIBILITY IN THESE AREAS.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND FLORIDA BIG
BEND AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY ACROSS THE
REGION WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S. THE DRY
AIRMASS WILL COMBINE WITH THE WARM AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES TO
CREATE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THAT WILL ENHANCE THE SPREAD
OF ANY WILDFIRES THAT MAY DEVELOP.

THERE IS ALSO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE
PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND BEACHES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND
DOMINATE THE LOCAL WEATHER PATTERN INTO NEXT WEEK. A DRY AIRMASS
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY ENHANCING THE SPREAD OF ANY
WILDFIRES THAT MAY DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ESPECIALLY IN
NORTH FLORIDA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.

IN TALLAHASSEE WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET AT WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/TAE.
