AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
415 AM EDT MON AUG 25 2008

...A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CDT THIS MORNING
FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE...

...RECORD FLOODING TO OCCUR ON THE OCHLOCKONEE RIVER BETWEEN CONCORD
AND HAVANA BY THE US27 BRIDGE THIS MORNING...

.SYNOPSIS...
LATEST RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOWS BANDS OF FAY RELATED CONVECTION
SPREADING NEWD AND ACROSS WRN FL PANHANDLE. THIS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW
LEVEL JET IN ASSOCIATION WITH VORTICITY LOBE PIVOTING NEWD AROUND
SRN PERIPHERY OF FAY AND HAS SPAWNED TORNADOES IN ALA. SOME OF THIS
WEATHER MAY REACH PORTIONS OF SE ALA/AND ADJACENT COUNTIES IN
PANHANDLE THIS MORNING. THUS A TORNADO WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR THIS
AREA. FOR THOSE CLIMATE BUFFS...STORM TOTAL RAIN AT FSU TALLAHASSEE
WAS 15.13 INCHES AND AT THE AIRPORT WAS 11.44 INCHES. AT THE
AIRPORT...THE MONTHLY AND ANNUAL TOTALS ARE UP TO 16.06 AND 47.31
INCHES RESPECTIVELY WITH AN ANNUAL SURPLUS (YES THAT IS A SURPLUS)
OF 1.77 INCHES.

AT UPPER LEVELS...
MAIN CONUS FEATURES INCLUDE A TROUGH OVER ERN PACIFIC...A RIDGE
STRETCHED NORTH OVER THE NRN ROCKIES WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...A CLOSED LOW OVER HUDSON BAY AND
ANOTHER OPENING UP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. A NOTED SURFACE TO H5
TROUGH EXISTS FROM HUDSON BAY LOW SSW TO H5 580MB LOW OVER SRN MISS
WITH FAY STUCK IN THIS TROUGH. DRY AIR ALOFT WRAPPING INTO CENTER OF
FAY. CLOSER TO HOME..A RIDGE EXISTS FROM BAHAMAS WWD TO N GA.
GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MONDAY NIGHT THRU WED...THE REMNANTS OF FAY
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND GET DRAWN NORTHEAST AS A STRONG
SHORTWAVE MOVES EWD ACROSS THE PLAINS.

AT LOWER LEVELS...
NEARLY STATIONARY REMNANTS OF FAY CONTINUE TO SPIN DOWN GRADUALLY
LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI ABOUT HALF WAY BETWEEN JACKSON AND
NEW ORLEANS. HIGH JUST OFF SE COAST WITH RIDGE NOSING SEWD ACROSS N
GA IN WAKE OF FAY. 00Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT AIRMASS
REMAINS VERY MOIST. I.E. KJAX...KLIX AND KTAE WITH 2.38...2.35 AND
2.15 IN PWAT RESPECTIVELY.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
TODAY...SREF SUPPORTS LOW CIGS AND DUE TO ABOVE NORMAL WINDS...TO A
LESSER EXTENT LOW VSBYS ESPECIALLY W OF APALACH RIVER EARLY. PLUS
TORNADO THREAT FOR WRN ZONES EARLY 0SEE ABOVE). OTHERWISE...GIVEN
ABOVE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES...FAY NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE A WHOLE LOT
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS MEANS THAT MODERATE SSW LOW LEVEL
FLOW AND DEEP LYR SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOISTURE NWD
AND ACROSS THE CWA. THIS LOW LEVEL STEERING FLOW FAVORS FL AND
TRAINING ECHOS (JUST WHAT WE DONT NEED) BUT WITH REMNANTS OF
FAY...ALL COUNTIES WELL ABOVE CLIMO POPS WITH E-W LOW-HI POP
GRADIENT. AMPLE MOISTURE REFLECTED IN REGIONAL MODEL SOUNDINGS. I.E.
GFS TAE WITH ABOVE 2 INCH PWAT TIL 06Z THURS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
STILL POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY WRN THIRD OF CWA...ALTHOUGH THE THREAT FOR
WIDESPREAD HEAVY AMOUNTS APPEARS TO BE ENDING. AMPLE SHEAR WITHIN
THE ERN HALF OF THE REMNANT CIRCULATION MAY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AT
LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO POSSIBLE SEVERE STORM
LATER TODAY. CLOUDS SHOULD LIMIT MAX TEMPS TO MID-UPPER 80S.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...WITH DRIER AIR MOVING NWWD FROM
GULF...DEEPER LYR SOUNDING PROFILE WILL BE INCREASINGLY LESS
IMPRESSIVE. RAIN CHANCES WILL LARGELY BE DRIVEN BY SEA BREEZE
CONVECTION. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FAY AS BY MIDWEEK...SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH PLAINS AND THEN MIDWEST MAY BEGIN TO PUSH THE
CIRCULATION BACK TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS COULD AGAIN INCREASE THE
CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN PANHANDLE
AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA. AS CLOUDS BEGIN TO DECREASE SOME EACH
DAY...TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS.

TUESDAY...MODERATE SW FLOW CONTINUES. SE-NW SCT-LIKELY POP GRADIENT.
MAX TEMPS TO UPPER 80S.

WEDNESDAY...LIGHT SSW FLOW FAVORS PANHANDLE. HI SCT POPS ACROSS CWA.
WITH DECREASING CLOUDS MAX TEMPS INCH UP TO LOW 90S.

.LONG TERM...THE REMNANT LOW OF FAY LOCATED ALONG THE OH/KY BORDER
WED NIGHT DISSIPATES, WHILE A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM
CNTRL NC TO SRN GA. THIS TROUGH THEN SLIDES SEWD THROUGH SRN GA THU
AND INTO NRN FL FRI. DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO ALL BUT THE SERN PORTION
OF THE CWA, LIMITING CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO ISOLATED. A MID LEVEL
TROUGH IS FCST TO AMPLIFY OVER THE ERN CONUS NEXT WEEKEND, PUSHING A
COLD FRONT INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. THE 25/00Z GFS SHOWS THE FRONT
STALLING ALONG THE NWRN EDGE OF THE CWA AS A LOW PRESSURE WAVE OVER
SRN AL/GA. THIS SAME TROUGH STEERS THE NEXT TROPICAL SYSTEM,
INDICATED BY THE 24/12Z ECMWF, ACROSS CNTRL CUBA, THE FL STRAITS AND
SERN COAST OF FL SUN AND MON. THE GFS DOES NOT PICK ON THIS FEATURE.
REGARDLESS, THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED THIS WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...MOIST SLY FLOW WILL PROMOTE WIDESPREAD MVFR TO LOCAL IFR
CIGS AT MOST TERMINALS (EXCEPT KPFN) OVERNIGHT. MVFR VSBYS WILL ALSO
DEVELOP FOR MUCH OF THE AREA TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY. THE LOW CIGS
WILL LIFT SLOWLY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. SCT SHWRS/TSTMS AND MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS WILL DEVELOP FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...CONDITIONS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY
IMPROVE AS FAY GRADUALLY SPINS DOWN. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN
THE FORECAST DEPENDING ON WHEN AND IF FAY MOVES BACK TO THE
NORTHEAST. UNTIL THEN...GUIDANCE INDICATING THE WESTERN WATERS MAY
KEEP ENOUGH OF A GRADIENT FOR 15 TO POSSIBLY 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND UP
TO 6 FEET OFFSHORE DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS. WILL GO WITH SCEC
OFFSHORE WATERS TODAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MOIST LOW LEVEL FLOW AND SATURATED FUELS WILL
PRECLUDE RED FLAGS THIS WEEK.
