Severe Thunderstorm Warning 152, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
230 PM EDT MON JUL 21 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AT 2 PM EDT...PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES PREVAILED ACROSS ALA/GA AND
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WERE OVER FL. RADAR INDICATED SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DROPPING S/SE FROM PASSING SHORTWAVE INTERACTING
ON OUTFLOWS IN CNTRL GA AND MOVING SWD ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE ALA AND
SW/SCNTRL GA. AT SAME TIME SHALLOW SEABREEZE DEVELOPED OVER FL COAST
YIELDING WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION. TEMPS RANGED FROM AROUND 90 AT
THE COAST TO THE MID 90S INLAND. BIG CONCERN NEXT FEW HOURS IS
IF/WHERE NWD DRIFTING SEA BREEZE AND SWD MOVING CELLS FROM OUTFLOWS
CLASH. THIS COULD GENERATE SPS LEVEL WINDS AND HAIL...AND WOULD NOT
DISCOUNT A PULSE SEVERE STORM.

AT UPPER LEVELS....
LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...LARGE SCALE PATTERN CONTINUES TO SHOW
SIGNS OF AMPLIFYING. IT IS HIGHLIGHTED BY TROUGH DEVELOPING ALONG
PAC COAST WITH OVER OVER NRN CA...RIDGE BUILDING FROM 4 CORNERS NEWD
ACROSS NRN ROCKIES/NRN PLAINS...AND BROAD OVER SRN CANADA/UPR GREAT
LAKES. SEVERAL IMPULSES PHASING SEWD INTO ERN TROUGH (WITH LEAD
IMPULSE OVER WI EARLY AFTN) HELPING TO SHARPEN IT. CLOSER TO
HOME...DEEP LAYER RIDGE ALOFT DOMINATES LOCAL AREA. ASSOCIATED
STRONG SUBSIDENCE WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT CONVECTION ACROSS FLA
REST OF TODAY...LESS SO OVER ALA/GA WHERE RIDGE WEAKENING AND DRIER
AIR/SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF CRISTOBAL IS ERODING.

BY TUESDAY CONUS PATTERN BEGINS TO AMPLIFY FURTHER. LARGE UPPER
RIDGE REMAINS OVER SRN PLAINS/SW STATES WHILE BOOKEND TROUGHS
AMPLIFY. A LOW CLOSES OFF NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES AND DEEPENS
AS IT DROPS SLOWLY SOUTH. THIS ALONG WITH A BUILDING RIDGE OUT WEST
WILL AMPLIFY THE UPPER PATTERN WITH A TROUGH DIGGING DOWN THE EAST
COAST. IN RESPONSE ...DEEP LAYER RIDGE ACROSS SE CONUS AND NRN GULF
WILL SHIFT SE AND WEAKEN. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE
TO ADVECT NORTH AND EASTWARD OVER MUCH OF THE GULF COAST REGION AND
SE CONUS RESULTING IN BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND.

AT LOWER LEVELS...
FRONT FROM NEW ENGLAND WSW ACROSS OH VALLEY TO NEB THIS AFTERNOON.
THE RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA INTO TUESDAY
WILL SHIFT SOUTH INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA ON WEDNESDAY AS UPPER TROUGH
DEEPENS AND DRAGS FRONT INTO THE MID-SOUTH. SATELLITE SHOWS TWO
TROPICAL SYSTEMS. TS CRISTOBAL MOVING NW AND FURTHER AWAY FROM THE
NORTH CAROLINA COAST AND MOVING AWAY FROM LAND AND TS DOLLY OVER THE
YUCATAN FORECAST TO MOVE TO JUST OFF S TX COAST BY 12Z WED. THE SWD
SHIFTING OF RIDGE WILL KEEP DOLLY MOVING WEST NORTHWEST AND WELL
SOUTH AND WEST OF OUR AREA.

BY WEDNESDAY...SRN TAIL OF FRONT STRENGTHENS AND DROPS DOWN TO N
GA/ALA WITH PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ACROSS CNTRL GA WHICH WILL KEEP A
MAINLY WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE CWA AND PROVIDE ENOUGH
MOISTURE/LIFT TO GENERATE SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS INTO
THE WEEKEND. AS UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS DURING THE LATE WORK
WEEK...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES OVER CWA. ADD...INCREASING
CLOUDS AND THIS TRANSLATES TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. THIS
GRADUAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE ALL REFLECTED IN TIME HEIGHT X-SECTIONS
AND MODEL SOUNDINGS. I.E. GFS TAE SOUNDING WITH 1.64 PWAT AT 18Z
MON...TO 2.01 PWAT AT 06Z FRI.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
INCREASING CLOUDS...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL
GRADUALLY RETURN TO THE REGION WITH A RETURN TO CLIMO TYPE POPS AND
TEMPS. STEERING FLOW WILL SET UP W-E (LOW-HIGH) POP GRADIENT EACH
DAY.

TONIGHT...LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON MORE ACTIVE THAN FORECAST ESPECIALLY
WITH STORMS MOVING S/SE ACROSS NRN TIER COUNTIES OF SW/SCNTRL GA. A
FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG. WILL INCLUDE A THIS EVENING GROUP TO
ACCOUNT FOR EVENING CONVECTION...WDLY SCT WEST OF APALACH RIVER AND
SCT EAST OF RIVER. PRECIP WILL END AND CLOUDS DECREASE BY LATE
EVENING. OTHERWISE...INLAND LOWS IN THE MID 70S. 5-6SM IN HAZE/BR
POSSIBLE TOWARD SUNRISE ESPECIALLY WHERE RESIDUAL MOISTURE LINGERED
FROM TODAYS RAINS.

TUESDAY...LIGHT SW STEERING FLOW. 20 PCT POOPS SE ALA/ADJACENT
PANHANDLE...30 PCT ELSEWHERE. /INLAND HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S.
HEAT INDICES SHOULD STAY JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

WEDNESDAY...LIGHT TO MODERATE WNW STEERING FLOW. 40 PCT POPS SE
ALA/FL PANHANDLE...50 PCT ELSEWHERE EXCEPT FOR 60 PCT NEAR I-75.
INLAND HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S.

THURSDAY...MODERATE W STEERING FLOW. 30-50 PCT W-E POP GRADIENT.
INLAND HIGHS AROUND 90.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE 00 UTC GFS KEEPING
A MEAN DEEP LAYER TROUGH OVER THE PIEDMONT THROUGH THE PERIOD. THERE
WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY...BUT THEN THE MID-UPPER TROPOSPHERE IS FORECAST TO
DRY OUT NEXT WEEKEND AS THE 500 MB TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS A LITTLE
EASTWARD. MOISTURE IS THEN FORECAST TO RETURN BY MONDAY AHEAD OF
ANOTHER TROUGH. THE 12 UTC SUNDAY ECMWF IS SIMILAR IN ITS MEAN
TROUGH POSITION...BUT DIFFERS LATE IN THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND AS
TO WHEN SIGNIFICANT DRYING WILL OCCUR. THE 00 UTC GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN
KEEPS TYPICAL SUMMERTIME MID LEVEL RH LEVELS OVER OUR REGION THROUGH
THE PERIOD. THE GFS MOS POP LOOKS LIKE A CLIMATOLOGY FORECAST...AND
THAT WILL BE OUR APPROACH FOR NOW GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN DETAILS
THAT FAR OUT.

&&

.MARINE...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE
WATERS AT LEAST THROUGH MID WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN LOW
INTO TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH TOWARD THE END
OF THE WEEK AND MAY EVEN BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH INTO THE MARINE
AREA THIS WEEKEND. WINDS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT. SEAS WILL
INCREASE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY FROM SWELLS GENERATED BY
TROPICAL STORM DOLLY AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
GULF OF MEXICO. THE ONLY LOCAL IMPACT WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN
TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM ITS OUTER FRINGE AND AN INCREASE IN SWELLS/
WAVE HEIGHT FOR OUR COASTAL WATERS

&&

.AVIATION...PERIODS OF HZ WILL RESTRICT VSBYS TO 6SM OR BRIEFLY MVFR
ACROSS THE GA TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON SHWR/TSTM COVERAGE
WILL BE ISOLATED. HAVE INCLUDED SCT CB CLOUD GROUPS AT KABY AND KVLD
FOR CONVECTION APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. WLY WINDS 5-10 KTS ARE
EXPECTED, BUT WILL BECOME SWLY AT KPFN AND KTLH DUE TO THE SEA
BREEZE. LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL PROMOTE AREAS OF BR/HZ TOWARD
MORNING WITH MVFR VSBYS POSSIBLE, EXCEPT AT KPFN.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH NO FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS.

&&
