AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...COR FIRE WX AND WWA SECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
515 AM EDT TUE APR 15 2008

.SYNOPSIS...SKIES HAVE CLEARED ACROSS THE TRI-STATE REGION AND THE
GRADIENT IS CONTINUING TO RELAX. AT 2 AM...WINDS WERE GENERALLY FROM
THE NORTH TO NORTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
TALLAHASSEE WHERE CALM WINDS ARE BEING REPORTED. AS A RESULT...
TALLAHASSEE CURRENTLY HAS THE COLDEST TEMPERATURE OF 40 DEGREES
ALONG WITH A DEW POINT OF 35 DEGREES. ELSEWHERE...TEMPS WERE IN THE
LOWER TO MID 40S WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING
EAST OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA TODAY WITH RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE
REGION IN ITS WAKE. UNTIL THE UPPER TROUGH PULLS FURTHER AWAY TO OUR
EAST...WE WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH SOME CLOUDS AND THE POSSIBILITY
OF A FEW SPRINKLES THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY OVER OUR EASTERNMOST
GEORGIA ZONES. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST CENTERING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WITH A NE TO SW AXIS
EXTENDING FROM NEW ENGLAND TO THE GULF. THE POSITION OF THE HIGH
SHOULD GIVE US A LIGHT NE WIND COMPONENT OVERNIGHT AS THE GRADIENT
OVER THE LOCAL REGION WILL BE VERY WEAK. THIS ALONG WITH CLEAR SKIES
AND A DEEP DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE SHOULD ALLOW US TO DROP INTO THE MID
30S MOST INLAND AREAS AND WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR PATCHY FROST TO
DEVELOP. WILL ISSUE A FROST ADVISORY ON THIS FORECAST PACKAGE AND
INCLUDE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
SINCE WE ARE NOW WELL INTO THE GROWING SEASON. AFTER A COLD START TO
THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO INTO THE LOWER
TO MID 70S BY AFTERNOON. THE MIN TEMPERATURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WONT
BE AS COLD...HOWEVER UPPER 30S WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE NORMALLY
COLDER LOCATIONS. WITH DEEP LAYER RIDGING OVER THE REGION ON
THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO SEASONAL LEVELS.

&&

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...DEEP LAYER RIDGING
WILL BE MOVING E OF THE AREA THU NIGHT AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM
APPROACHES FROM THE W. THERE IS GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS ON THE TIMING
OF THE FRONT...WHICH REACHES OUR FORECAST AREA ABOUT 12 HOURS
EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS HAVE BEEN INDICATING. POPS WILL THEREFORE
BE SHIFT AHEAD ONE PERIOD INTO THE FRI-FRI NIGHT TIME FRAME. WE PLAN
TO USE A BLEND OF THE MEX AND EURO POP FOR FRI NIGHT. BEHIND THE
FRONT...A SHALLOW SHORT WAVE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD MAKING FOR A
DRY WEEKEND. THE FORECAST AFTER THAT TIME DEPENDS ON THE EVOLUTION
OF THE OCCLUDED LOW CENTER. THE 00Z GFS AND 14/12Z EURO HAVE SWAPPED
SCENARIOS FROM THIS TIME LAST NIGHT WITH THE GFS NOW MOVING THE
SYSTEM EWD AT A MUCH HIGHER LATITUDE ACROSS PA AND NJ ON SUN AND SUN
NIGHT BEFORE DROPPING IT SEWD. THE 14/12Z EURO LOOKS A LOT CLOSER TO
THE THE 14/00Z GFS DROPPING THE LOW SEWD ACROSS THE CAROLINAS SAT
NIGHT THROUGH SUN NIGHT. HOWEVER...HPC POINTS OUT THAT THERE HAS NOT
BEEN GOOD INTERNAL CONSISTENCY IN THE MODELS WITH THIS SYSTEM AT
THESE PROJECTIONS AND THERE WAS A 20 DEGREE LATITUDE SPREAD IN THE
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS IN POSITIONING OF THE LOW AS IT MOVES OFF THE E
COAST. WITH THIS MUCH UNCERTAINTY...WE WILL JUST STICK WITH THE
OPERATIONAL MEX MOS POP DISTRIBUTION WHICH IS CLOSE TO WHAT WE HAVE
BEEN ADVERTISING WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR MON INTO TUE. TEMPS
WILL SHOW A GRADUAL WARMING TREND...BUT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE WITHING
A FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS HAVE DROPPED BELOW SCA CRITERIA SO WILL
DROP THE SCA HEADLINE AND REPLACE WITH SCEC FOR TODAY. WINDS AND
SEAS WILL DROP BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA BY THIS EVENING AND STAY LOW
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
SWING AROUND FROM THE NORTH TODAY TO THE SOUTH BY FRIDAY WITH A COLD
FRONT EXPECTED TO BRING A RETURN OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
WATERS LATE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL INTO TUE NIGHT.
CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT WILL GIVE WAY TO ANOTHER STRATOCU FIELD DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. WITH THE COLD POOL MOVING E DURING THE DAY...
THE CLOUD FIELD SHOULD NOT BE AS EXTENSIVE AS YESTERDAY ACROSS THE
WRN TERMINALS. CLOUD BASES WILL AGAIN BE IN THE 6-8 KFT RANGE WITH
CEILINGS PREVAILING ONLY AT ABY AND VLD DURING THE AFTERNOON. SKIES
MAY BRIEFLY GO BROKEN AT TLH AND DHN. CLEARING WILL SET IN LATE IN
THE DAY. WINDS WILL STILL BE GUSTY DURING THE DAYTIME...OUT OF THE
N. HOWEVER...BOTH SUSTAINED WINDS SPEED AND GUSTS WILL NOT BE AS
HIGH AS ON MON.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON FOR
ALL FLORIDA ZONES DUE TO EXPECTED LONG DURATIONS OF LOW RH. WE WILL
ALSO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING FOR OUR ENTIRE CWA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO FORECAST RH VALUES IN THE TEENS.

MORNING TO 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ THIS EVENING FOR SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE EASTERN
FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND FOR STRONG GUSTY WINDS...

...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

...A RED FLAG WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM EDT /1 PM CDT/
THIS AFTERNOON TO 7 PM EDT /6 PM CDT/ THIS EVENING FOR ALL OF THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE DUE TO A COMBINATION OF RELATIVE
HUMIDITY BELOW 35 PERCENT AND 20-FOOT WINDS OF 15 MPH OR
GREATER...

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
BREEZY CONDITIONS TODAY WILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON AREA
LAKES. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS ALSO IN EFFECT FOR THE LOCAL
GULF WATERS. IT WILL BE UNSEASONABLY COLD ACROSS THE REGION TODAY
AND TONIGHT WITH NEAR RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY MORNING
AT SOME LOCATIONS. THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT WIND AND
CLOUD COVER TONIGHT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF FROST. VERY DRY
AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION TODAY COMBINED WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS
WILL ENHANCE THE SPREAD OF ANY WILDFIRES...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTH
FLORIDA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
IT WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER ON TUESDAY BUT MAX TEMPERATURES WILL
STILL BE ABOUT 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WE DO EXPECT MORE SUNSHINE
AND LESS WIND ON TUESDAY SO IT WONT FEEL NEARLY AS COLD AS THE
CONDITIONS FELT ON MONDAY. WINDS AND SEAS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE ELEVATED TO ADVISORY LEVELS AT LEAST UNTIL
EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A DRY AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND
THIS WILL ENHANCE THE SPREAD OF ANY WILDFIRES...ESPECIALLY
OVER NORTH FLORIDA. WINDS WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT AND SKIES
SHOULD BE CLEAR ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO DROP TO THE MID 30S OVER
MOST INLAND AREAS. IF THE WINDS DIMINISH AS EXPECTED AND THE
TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE MID 30S...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FROST ACROSS THE REGION FOR AREAS AWAY FROM
THE COAST AND OUTSIDE URBAN CENTERS. A FROST THIS LATE IN THE
SEASON WILL HARM SENSITIVE OUTDOOR PLANTS AND NEWLY PLANTED
GARDENS AND FARM FIELDS. PERSONS SHOULD BEGIN PREPARING PROTECTIVE
MEASURES TO LIMIT POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THIS SENSITIVE VEGETATION.
ALSO...A FEW NEW RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES MAY BE ESTABLISHED
WEDNESDAY MORNING. A GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON
WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO SEASONAL LEVELS BY THE
END OF THE WEEK. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE SATURDAY AS A
WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND PASSES THROUGH THE TRI-STATE AREA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
