AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
340 AM EDT MON MAY 12 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE 04 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WELL-DEFINED COLD
FRONT (ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR) FROM NEAR JACKSONVILLE
FL...TO APALACHICOLA FL...EXTENDING WEST SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE GULF
TO THE EAST TX COAST. THE SURFACE DEWPOINT DROPPED A WHOPPING 23
DEGREES F IN ONE HOUR AT THE TALLAHASSEE REGIONAL AIRPORT AS THE
COLD FRONT WENT THROUGH BETWEEN 11 PM EDT AND MIDNIGHT. OUR LOCAL
RADARS ARE RESTING PEACEFULLY AS A STABLE DRY AIRMASS SPREADS ACROSS
OUR AREA. VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR PROFILERS SHOW THE STRONG
TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE MAYHEM THIS WEEKEND WAS MOVING
EAST OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.

IT WAS A CLOSE CALL FOR OUR AREA YESTERDAY FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WHILE
WE GOT A FEW REPORTS OF MINOR WIND DAMAGE IN OUR SOUTH CENTRAL GA
COUNTIES...WE WERE SPARED THE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER THAT
OCCURRED JUST TO OUR NORTH AND EAST. THERE WAS AMPLE CAPE AND
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR TO SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS IN OUR AREA...BUT
THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND VERTICAL MOTION (BOTH MESOSCALE AND
SYNOPTIC) WERE LACKING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) THE 00 UTC GFS/NAM AND 12 UTC SUNDAY ECMWF
INDICATE FAIR WEATHER FOR OUR AREA THIS PERIOD AS DEEP LAYER RIDGING
SLOWLY DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY
BELOW AVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE (IN THE NORMALLY
COLDEST INLAND LOCATIONS) TONIGHT AS LIGHT WINDS AND VERY DRY AIR
ALLOW STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING TO OCCUR. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO
NEAR AVERAGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
MOISTURE WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...BUT
THERE WILL LIKELY NOT BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY OR FORCING TO WARRANT
ANY POP...EXCEPT FOR A 20 PERCENT POP WEST OF DOTHAN ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...
(THURSDAY-MONDAY)...SWLY MID/UPPER FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF PLAINS
TROUGH WITH EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES WILL KEEP THE SERN STATES
UNSETTLED BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, ALONG WITH WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS. THE SRN END OF A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE
NORTHEAST WILL BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AS
SEVERAL SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAVES DEVELOP AND MOVE ALONG IT. THE
BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL BE FOCUSED NEAR THE BOUNDARY ACROSS OUR
NRN TIER ZONES, WITH SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE POPS TO THE SOUTH.
COMPARED TO THE MORE PROGRESSIVE EURO MODEL, THE 00Z GFS EJECTS
THE MID/UPPER LOW AND TROUGH EWD FROM THE PLAINS ACROSS THE SERN
STATES ON SATURDAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FORMING ALONG THE LA
COAST WILL GRADUALLY DEEPEN AS IT LIFTS NEWD ACROSS AL AND GA,
DRAGGING ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT THROUGH THE CWA SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH INCREASING WINDS ALOFT AND
INSTABILITY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE,
A NWLY FLOW WILL USHER IN COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR THE SOUTHEAST
FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PUSH SE, AND HAS CLEARED THE
TERMINALS, WITH DEW POINTS DROPPING RAPIDLY IN ITS WAKE. NWLY
WINDS OF 10-15 KTS WITH OCNL GUSTS TO 20 KTS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. CLEAR SKIES
AND VFR WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. NWLY WINDS WILL
PICK UP ONCE AGAIN LATER THIS MORNING, GENERALLY IN THE 10-15 KT
RANGE WITH OCNL GUSTS TO 20 KTS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
DESPITE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN JUST BELOW
ADVISORY LEVELS. WE WILL CANCEL THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AND MENTION
EXERCISE CAUTION IN THE HEADLINES. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DECLINE LATER
TODAY AS THE RIDGE AXIS DRAWS CLOSER.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EXPECT RED FLAG CONDITIONS FOR ALL FL ZONES TODAY, INCLUDING THE
IMMEDIATE COAST, DUE TO LONG DURATIONS OF VERY LOW RH. FOR THE AL
AND GA ZONES, DESPITE SUB-30 PERCENT RH VALUES TODAY, THE WIND AND
KBDI REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT BE MET. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED FOR TUESDAY FOR THE SAME AREAS, AND THE CURRENT WATCH
WILL BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING. ON WEDNESDAY, A DEVELOPING ONSHORE
FLOW WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE MOISTURE FOR AREAS W OF TLH, WITH A
FEW HOURS OF SUB-35 PERCENT RH FOR THE ERN FL BIG BEND.

CONDITIONS AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL PRECEDE THIS FRONT. THE COMBINATION OF A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS
AND STRONG WINDS WILL HELP CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS FAVORABLE
FOR LONG LIVED ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND EVEN ISOLATED TORNADOES.
THE RAIN WILL END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATER TODAY AS DRIER
AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
FAIR WEATHER IS FORECAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL
INCREASE LATER IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS A FRONTAL
