AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
910 AM EDT WED OCT 1 2008

.DISCUSSION...THE COLD FRONT IS JUST ABOUT TO EXIT THE CWA TO THE SE
AS OF 13Z AND IS NICELY DELINEATED BY THE ROPE CLOUD SEEN ON VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY. TODAY WILL BE A WARM DAY...BUT NOT AS HOT AS
YESTERDAY WHEN VIRTUALLY EVERY LOCATION REACHED THE LOWER 90S.
HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF WIDESPREAD 90-DEGREE HEAT
FOR THE SEASON. MOST AREAS WILL PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S TODAY...WITH
MID 80S ACROSS OUR NRN ZONES. THESE TEMPS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
LOW HUMIDITY AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...JUST LIKE OCT WEATHER IS
SUPPOSED TO BE. THE ONLY UPDATE WE WILL MAKE TO THE FORECAST THIS
MORNING IS TO INCREASE WINDS A BIT.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS PEAKED AT AROUND 15 KNOTS OVERNIGHT JUST AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN OVERNIGHT AS THE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION SETS IN. WE CONTINUE TO
FORECAST EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE ON
THURSDAY AND REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND...ELY
FLOW WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND
LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.
&&

.AVIATION...ASIDE FROM SOME BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS AT TLH DHN AND
ABY...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY
OCCASIONALLY BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE NORTHWEST UP TO 18 KT AT THE
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET. NO RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...TODAYS WARNINGS LOOK PRETTY GOOD. WILL NEED TO KEEP
AN EYE ON THE THREE FL ZONES THAT ARENT IN THE WARNING. WITH STRONG
DRY ADVECTION FROM THE NW AND THE ABUNDANCE OF DRY AIR WAITING TO
MIX DOWN PER THE 12Z KTAE SOUNDING, WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF GULF
AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES REQUIRE A WARNING. WILL TRY TO MAKE THE CALL
BY NOON. THE WARNING IN AL SHOULD EASILY VERIFY TODAY. IT WILL BE
JUST AS DRY OVER IN GA, BUT THE HIGH WIND CRITERIA NECESSARY TO MEET
RED FLAG CRITERIA THERE PRECLUDE US FROM ISSUING ONE FOR THAT PART
OF OUR CWA. ON THU, EVEN DRIER AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA IN THE
WAKE OF TODAYS COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE, WITH POTENTIALLY LONG
DURATIONS OF LOW RH. THURSDAYS WATCH FOR OUR FL COUNTIES WILL
LIKELY BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE
A CLOSE CALL FOR SERN AL AS WINDS WILL BE NEAR 10 MPH, AND
THURSDAYS WATCH MAY BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
308 AM EDT WED OCT 1 2008

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...DEEP TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS IS HELPING TO PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH THIS
MORNING. AS OF 06Z...THE FRONT WAS SITUATED ROUGHLY FROM COLUMBIA SC
TO JUST SE OF TALLAHASSEE AND MAKING STEADY PROGRESS TO THE
SOUTHEAST. NO WEATHER IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...JUST
A WIND SHIFT AND DRIER AIR MASS. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL DROP OFF SEVERAL DEGREES FROM MONDAYS LOWER 90S.
TEMPS TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 80S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE UPPER 80S
IN THE SOUTHEAST. THICKNESSES WILL FALL FURTHER BY THURSDAY WITH
HIGHS ONLY REACHING AROUND 80 DEGREES ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. ONLY
SLIGHT WARMING IS EXPECTED BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THICKNESSES REMAIN
ON THE LOW SIDE.

ALONG WITH THE COOLER AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL COME CRISP EARLY FALL
MORNINGS. LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 50S THURSDAY MORNING WILL
LIKELY GIVE WAY TO LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S BY FRIDAY MORNING AS
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR IN CONTROL...NO RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH CLEAR SKIES DOMINATING.

LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...A MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER
THE EASTERN U.S. EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL GRADUALLY LIFT TO THE
NORTHEAST, REPLACED BY A RIDGE FROM THE GULF COAST TO THE MIDWESTERN
STATES. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE SOUTHWARD FROM THE
NORTHEAST U.S. INTO THE SOUTHEAST, PROVIDING A MODERATE EASTERLY
FLOW. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVING NORTHEASTWARD ALONG A STALLED FRONT FROM SRN FL INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC SUNDAY AND MONDAY, WITH MOISTURE GRADUALLY SURGING
UP THE PENINSULA. IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE ATLANTIC MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN TO OUR EAST AND SOUTH, WITH POPS CAPPED AT 20 PERCENT ACROSS
THE CWA. THE MOISTURE EVENTUALLY GETS SHUNTED TO THE SOUTHWEST AS A
STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE MID- ATLANTIC STATES BY
WEDNESDAY. LOW TEMPS ON SATURDAY WILL MODERATE FROM THE 50S TO THE
60S BY MONDAY. HIGHS WILL AVERAGE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL (MIDDLE 80S)
DURING THE PERIOD.
