12-WATSONWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 9, 3:53 PM EDT, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:53 PM EDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 353 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2008 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT) THE MODELS SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENING AND SHIFTING EAST AS AN UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE TUTT CELL THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY TRACK NORTHWEST TOWARD THE NORTHEAST GOM TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AND BEGIN TO FILL. AT THE SURFACE...THE MODELS SHOW THE RIDGE AXIS ORIENTED EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES AND THE NORTHERN GOM THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW STREAMING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THIS CHANGE IN THE UPPER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO SLIGHTLY COME DOWN....HOWEVER ...STILL IN THE LOWER 90S. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MEAN LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF THIS FLOW AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WITH THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WE WILL SHOW THE HIGHEST POPS (40/50) DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS OVER THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND. IN ADDITION TO THIS...THE MODEL SOUNDINGS DO SHOW A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE PWAT VALUES (1.7-1.85 INCHES) DURING THIS TIME WHEN COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY) MODELS ARE STILL FORECASTING THE DEMISE OF THE HOT SOUTHEAST U.S. RIDGE. A FAIRLY COMPLEX REALIGNMENT OF THE BASIC FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL U.S. WILL END UP CREATING A WEAK LONG WAVE PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS TRANSITION BEGINS WITH A SERIES OF GULF OF ALASKA SHORTWAVES THAT DIVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THESE SHORT WAVES START A REPLACEMENT CYCLE FOR THE EXISTING WESTERN U.S TROF WHICH EJECTS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THE REMNANTS OF A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TROUGH...DIVES INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. ON THURSDAY HELPING TO BEGIN BREAKING DOWN THE PERSISTENT RIDGE THERE. MEANWHILE...BACK TO THE WESTERN U.S.... A NEW STRONGER INTER-MOUNTAIN TROF DEVELOPS AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER GULF OF ALASKA DISTURBANCE. THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ITSELF WILL ALSO BE EJECTED EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHEAST U.S. BY SATURDAY. THE ARRIVAL OF THIS TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST FURTHER BATTERS THE STRONG HOT SOUTHEAST U.S. RIDGE WHICH BEGINS TO REFORM WESTWARD INTO NORTHERN MEXICO. YET ANOTHER GULF OF ALASKA DISTURBANCE DIGS AN EVEN DEEPER LONG WAVE TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST OF THE U.S. ON MONDAY. ADDITIONAL UPSTREAM DISTURBANCES FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA GIVE THE APPEARANCE THAT IN THE LONG RUN...A LONG WAVE WILL ANCHOR ITSELF OFF THE CALIFORNIA COASTLINE. THE NET RESULT WILL BE A DEEP LONG WAVE OFF THE WEST COAST...HOT RIDGE PATTERN OVER MEXICO AND TEXAS AND A WEAKER LONG WAVE ALONG THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE IMPACT OF ALL OF THIS IN THE SOUTHEAST WILL BE INCREASED FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO AND INCREASED MOISTURE THAT WILL GENERATE ACTIVE SEA BREEZE RAINFALL THROUGH MOST OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. SCATTERED SHOWERS ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASED SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS PWATS JUMP UP ABOVE 1.70 INCH. ON THURSDAY...PRECIP WATER EXCEEDS 2.00 INCHES AND LIFTED INDICES RAMP UP TO TO -6 TO -7 RANGE. GRIDS REFLECT SIGNIFICANT POPS AND QPF ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...AS WEAK SURFACE TROF REMNANTS CONTINUE TO DRIFT INTO SOUTHEAST. && .MARINE...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH THE WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW CAUTIONARY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MID WEEK. EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ONSHORE WINDS NEAR THE COAST WILL STRENGTHEN TO MODERATE LEVELS. THIS INCREASE EACH AFTERNOON WILL CAUSE THE SEAS NEAR THE COAST TO BECOME CHOPPY. && .AVIATION...THE MAIN IMPACT TO AVIATORS TODAY WILL BE SCATTERED CONVECTION THAT IS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON. COVERAGE WILL BE HIGHER IN FL WITH THE BEST CHANCE AT TLH. MOST THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBY WITH IFR VSBY IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS. CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS TO 30 KT WILL BE COMMON. A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR VSBY WILL DEVELOP BEFORE SUNRISE AT TLH AND PFN ON TUE. CONVECTION WILL GET AN EARLIER START ON TUE, SO PROB GROUPS WERE INCLUDED STARTING AT 16Z FOR TLH, PFN AND VLD. && .FIRE WEATHER...MOISTURE LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS WEAK. THIS WILL RESULT IN NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL RAIN CHANCES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND WILL ALSO PREVENT RED FLAG CONDITIONS FROM OCCURRING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
