AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
400 AM EST THU JAN 29 2009

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...AT 06Z THE COLD FRONT
WAS ANALYZED FROM JUST NORTH OF JACKSONVILLE SOUTHWESTWARD TO AROUND
PERRY. THE FRONT HAS SLOWED DOWN IN THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS FOR TWO
REASONS. THE UPPER FLOW HAS BECOME NEARLY ZONAL AND AS EXPECTED A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPED ON THE BOUNDARY WHICH IS CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER APALACHEE BAY. LOCAL RADARS SHOW THE MOST CONCENTRATED
AREA OF RAIN OVER THE BAY AND OUR EASTERN BIG BEND ZONES. HOWEVER...
PATCHY LIGHT RAIN EXTENDS NORTH AND WESTWARD TO COVER MOST OF OUR
CWA. THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AXIS CURRENTLY CUTTING THROUGH THE PLAINS
WILL DEEPEN AS IT SWINGS EAST TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY SENDING THE
SURFACE FRONT WELL TO OUR SOUTH BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. UNTIL THEN WE
WILL HAVE TO KEEP POPS IN THE FORECAST. THERE WILL BE A SHARP POP
GRADIENT FROM SILENT 10% NORTHWEST TO NEARLY 100% SOUTHEAST THIS
MORNING WITH RAIN ENDING FOR ALL BUT THE VALDOSTA REGION AND THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND THIS AFTERNOON. WILL SHOW LOW END CHANCE POPS FOR
THE SOUTHEAST BIG BEND TONIGHT AND NIL AFTER DAYBREAK FRIDAY. MAX
TEMPS TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE MID 50S
TO LOWER 60S. THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WITH THIS INCOMING AIRMASS
WILL BE FELT SATURDAY MORNING AS THE SURFACE HIGH CENTERS NEARLY
OVERHEAD. MIN TEMPERATURES SATURDAY MORNING WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER
20S ACROSS MOST INLAND AREAS WITH MID 20S POSSIBLE IN THE NORMALLY
COLDER LOCATIONS.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...MUCH DRIER AND COLDER
AIRMASS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COLDEST TEMPS ON SUNDAY
MORNING (UPPER 20S EAST TO MID 30S WEST) WITH STACKED HIGH OVERHEAD
ERN CWA DURING PRE-DAWN HOURS. IN RESPONSE TO NEXT STORM SYSTEM/
FRONT...SURFACE HIGH WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING
DAY. AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM...VEERING WINDS TO ONSHORE WILL ALLOW
MODEST INCREASE IN CLOUDS TO P/C WITH TEMPS PUSHING TO LOW 60S.

GFS SHOWS A FAST-MOVING BUT POTENT SHORTWAVE DIGGING EAST OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. MODELS IN BETTER AGREEMENT THE TIMING AND
DEVELOPMENT OF GULF LOW. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SPIN UP LOW OVER THE
NORTH CENTRAL GULF LATE SUN NIGHT/EARLY MON. HOWEVER GFS FASTER/
STRONGER PUSHING LOW INTO THE FLORIDA BIG BEND REGION ON MONDAY...
THEN MOVING EAST LATE MONDAY WITH STRONG SLY RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF IT
AND ACROSS CWA. FRONT DRAGGED ACROSS OUR CWA LATE MONDAY WITH STRONG
LOW LEVEL JET THAT MAY LEAD TO STRONG/SEVERE WINDS IN PRE-FRONTAL
SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY OVER COAST AND WATERS BUT BEST CHC
WILL BE OVER TAMPA CWA. ECMWF WEAKER/SLOWER WITH BOTH LOW AND FRONT
AND DOWNPLAYS CHANCE OF STRONG STORMS.

WILL GO WITH GOOD CHC SHOWERS AND ISOLD TSTMS SUN NIGHT NW THIRD OF
CWA...SPREADING SE MON-MON NIGHT. THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH WELL TO THE
SOUTH OF THE AREA ON TUESDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS DOWN THE
EASTERN SEABOARD SPREADING VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR SWD. LOW TEMPS
AROUND CLIMO (AROUND 40) SUN NIGHT...DROPPING TO MID-UPPER 30S MON
NIGHT TO THE LOW-MID 20S TUES NIGHT IN WAKE OF FRONT. WILL MONITOR
FOR POSSIBLE HARD FREEZE AND WIND CHILL CONDITIONS AT THAT TIME.
LIGHT FREEZE LIKELY FOR WED NIGHT-THURS.

&&

.MARINE...THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY SOUTH AND EAST
OF THE LOCAL WATERS TODAY. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO CAUTIONARY
CRITERIA TONIGHT AND CONTINUE AT THIS LEVEL THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES IN OVER THE REGION. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP IN THE GULF AND BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN ALONG WITH
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND SEAS TO THE MARINE AREA ON MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...FOR REST OF OVERNIGHT HOURS...INCREASED WINDS SHOULD
PREVENT THE WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG SEEN 24 HRS AGO. BEST CHANCE FOR
FOR BRIEF LIFR VSBY IS AT TLH AND VLD. AREAS TO THE W WILL STILL SEE
IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOP BUT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE LOW CEILINGS
AND A BIT LOWER CONFIDENCE IN THE IFR VSBY AT DHN AND ABY. MVFR
CEILINGS WILL PERSIST UNTIL LATE MORNING WEST AND MID-AFTN EAST.
SHOWERS WILL END THIS MORNING WEST OF APALACHICOLA BUT A GOOD CHANCE
OF SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO AFTERNOON EASTERN COUNTIES BEFORE A
COLD FRONTAL WIND SHIFT DURING THE MID AFTERNOON. WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL BE OUT OF THE SSW AROUND 12KT WITH A SHIFT TO THE NW
BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...IN WAKE OF FRONT...NOTICEABLY DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN
FROM NW-SE WITH RED FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS INLAND FL PANHANDLE THIS
