AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
340 AM EDT WED JUN 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
ACTIVE AND UNEXPECTED LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
AS A FEW MERGING CELLS ALONG COASTAL FRONT BOUNDARY SPAWNED REPORTED
TORNADOES AND SEVERE STORM ALONG COASTAL BAY COUNTY AND THE ADJACENT
WATERS. AFTER 230 AM EDT...LAND ACTIVITY WEAKENED AND MOVED INTO THE
ADJACENT WATERS. AT 330 AM EDT...RADAR SHOWED SEVERAL SW-NE
ORIENTED LINES OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS MOVING ESE ACROSS ALL
OF COASTAL WATERS.

AT UPPER LEVELS...
LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...RUC H5 HEIGHT/VORTICITY AND WATER VAPOR
SATTELITE SHOW ALMOST NO CHANGE IN LARGE SCALE CONUS PATTERN LAST 24
HRS...AND THIS IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE TODAY. PATTERN HIGHLIGHTED BY
TROUGH INCHING ASHORE ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND BRITISH
COLUMBIA...A STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER WRN CONUS...CENTERED OVER
ROCKIES...AND A COOL TROUGH OVER THE ERN STATES. LONGWAVE TROUGH
FROM SE CANADA SSW DOWN INTO THE EASTERN U.S. WITH A CLOSED UPPER
LOW SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC. IN BETWEEN...RIDGE AND ERN
TROUGH...NWLY FLOW DOMINATES AND WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS CONVEYOR
BELT FOR SERIES OF SHORTWAVES RIDING DOWN RIDGE AND ACCELERATING
INTO THE BASE OF THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF TROUGH OVER SE CONUS.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THIS PATTERN WILL OCCUR ON THURSDAY.

AT LOWER LEVELS...
AT 07Z...COLD FRONT WAS ALIGNED FROM DESTIN ENE TO ALONG N FL AND
ACROSS SE GA WITH THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ACROSS NEARSHORE COASTAL
WATERS. THIS CONTINUED SWD MOVEMENT HAS FURTHER SUPPRESSED
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WELL TO SOUTH OF CWA. FRONT/TROUGH WILL CONT
MOVING S AND STALL OVER NRN PENINSULA TODAY PUSHING STROONG STORMS
FURTHER AWAY FROM CWA. IN ITS WAKE... NOTICEABLY DRIER AIR FROM N-S.
THIS REFLECTED IN TIME-HEIGHT X-SECTIONS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS. I.E.
GFS SOUNDING WITH 1.80 IN PWAT AT 00Z WED DROPPING TO 0.89 IN PWAT
AT 00Z THU.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
TODAY...WITH SLOW DRIFTING FRONT...SOME PATCHY LIGHT FOG POSIBLE
ESPECIALLY EAST OF APALACH RIVER WHERE FRONTAL PASSAGE DELAYED. SOME
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF
FRONT...MAINLY COASTAL BIG BEND COUNTIES AND ESPECIALLY THE COASTAL
WATERS IN MORNING. THIS NW FLOW PATTERN USUALLY YIELDS SHORTWAVES
DROPPING S WHICH COULD ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH FRONT MOVING S...BEST CHANCES WILL BE SE BIG
BEND WHERE MOISTURE REMAINS RELATIVELY DEEPEST AND IS CLOSEST TO
DEPARTING MID/UPR TROUGH AXIS. BUT...EXPECT ANY STRONG STORMS SHOULD
BE WELL S OF CWA ALONG FRONT LATER TODAY.

FURTHER UPSTREAM...INCREASINGLY DRIER AIR FILTERING FROM N-S SO
POPS DECREASE...ESPECIALLY WITH DEEP LYR NWLY STEERING FLOW (TYPE 8
SEABREEZE) THAT SHOULD PIN AFTERNOON CONVECTION CLOSE TO COAST.
FORECAST SOUNDING FROM KABY TO KTLH SHOWING PW VALUES OF UNDER AN
INCH ACROSS THE NORTH TO ONLY AROUND AN INCH SOUTH BY THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. THE DRY NORTHWEST STEERING FLOW IN JUNE TRANSLATES TO A HOT
DAY. IN THE ABSENCE OF CLOUD COVER...EXPECT HIGH TEMPS RISING INTO
THE MIDDLE 90 FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. BUT...AT LEAST LOWER
DEW POINTS WILL CONDITIONS SOMEWHAT TOLERABLE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN ERN
SEABOARD INTO LOCAL AREA WITH DEEP LYR DRY AIR DOMINATING. WNW
STEERING FLOW. PW VALUES ARE STILL ONLY AROUND AN INCH WITH SURFACE
DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 50S AWAY FROM THE COAST
IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HIGH WILL
ALLOW PREDAWN TEMPS TO FALL BELOW NORMAL WITH LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S
COMMON AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. LITTLE CHANGE IN MAX TEMPS. AT
BEST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...MAINLY SE BIG BEND.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...SUBTROPICAL RIDGING BECOMES
RE-ESTABLISHED THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO
WITH STEERING FLOW BACKING TO WEST AND SURFACE FLOW COMING BACK
AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST. THIS SHOULD BRING LOW TEMPS AND MOISTURE
LEVELS BACK UP TOWARD NORMAL LATE JUNE VALUES. PREDAWN MINS SHOULD
MOVE BACK UP TO UPPER 60S. LITTLE CHANGE IN MAX TEMPS. SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...WENT A BIT CRAZY THIS EVENING WITH SOME SURPRISE SEVERE
WX ACTIVITY IN THE PANHANDLE.  LOST MY FIRST WRITEUP...SO AM REDOING
WITH AN ABBREVIATED WRITE UP.  BASIC LONG WAVE PATTERN HAS NOT
CHANGED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.  RIDGE IN WESTERN STATES.
LONGWAVE TROF OVER EASTERN PACIFIC AND ANOTHER LONG WAVE EASTERN
U.S..   THE PATTERN IS FAIRLY STATIONARY DURING THE LONG TERM WITH
RIPPLES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE PACIFIC RUNNING OVER THE TOP OF
THE RIDGE AND DIVING INTO THE SOUTHEAST.  SOME INTERACTION WITH A
STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE SOUTHEAST US OVER
ALABAMA...GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA WITH THESE SHORTWAVES WILL
GENERATE PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  BIGGEST EVENT WILL
BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS A SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
GENERATES A SURFACE FRONTAL LOW IN SOUTH GEORGIA WHICH EVENTUALLY
BECOMES A FAIRLY LARGE HATTERAS LOW IN THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC THAT
EVENTUALLY SETTLES OVER NOVA SCOTIA.  EXPECT SOME GOOD RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE SOUTHEAST ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS
THE NEW SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS.  THE EAST COAST LONG WAVE TROF LINGERS
A BIT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY BUT THEN BOTH THE GFS AND ECWMF LIFT THE
TROF NORTHEAST INTO THE ATLANTIC BY 240 HOURS WITH A HOT RIDGING
PATTERN TAKING OVER MUCH OF THE U.S.

&&

.AVIATION...THE COLD FRONT GENERATED SOME EXCITEMENT IN THE
PANHANDLE AND THE PANAMA CITY AREA THIS EVENING WITH STRONG WINDS
HEAVY RAIN AND COPIOUS LIGHTNING.  THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE NOW MOVED OFF SHORE AND ARE HEADED SOUTHEAST JUST
SOUTH OF THE COASTLINE BELOW APALACHICOLA INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.
GENTLE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. DRIER AIR WILL KEEP MOST AERODROMES WITH VFR
CONDITIONS THIS MORNING EXCEPTION OF KTLH AND KVLD. KTLH AND KVLD
WILL LIKELY DROP TO IFR LEVELS WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AROUND DAYBREAK. IN ANY CASE...DRIER AIR IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT SHOULD KEEP THE AFTERNOON SHOWER ACTIVITY ON THE LOWER END
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.MARINE...SURFACE TROUGH SETTLES SOUTH OVER THE FORECAST WATERS
EARLY TODAY AND THEN EXITS SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. THIS HIGH
RAPIDLY WEAKENS WITH THE SUBTROPICAL SURFACE RIDGE BRIEFLY
REBUILDING INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. SO SOME CONVECTION WILL OCCUR ALONG AND AHEAD OF FRONT
ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING BUT DIMINISH FROM N-S THROUGH TONIGHT AS
BOUNDARY CONTINUES SWD JAUNT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRIER AIR IS INVADING THE CWA BEHIND THE UPPER/SFC TROUGHS.
STRONGER NORTHERLY FLOW TODAY SHOULD KEEP THE SEABREEZE CLOSER TO
THE COAST AND ALLOW FOR LONGER DURATION OF MIXING. THUS EXPECT RH
BELOW 35 PERCENT FOR 4 TO 6 HOURS OVER INLAND FLORIDA ZONES WITH
HIGH DISPERSIONS. HAVE UPGRADED WATCH INTO WARNING AND ADDED
WAKULLA COUNTY. FOR THURSDAY...EVEN DRIER AIR SO EXPANDED THE
COVERAGE TO INCLUDE ALL BUT BAY..FRANKLIN AND GULF COUNTIES.
