AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
200 PM EST MON FEB 23 2009

.SYNOPSIS...CLEAR...COOL...AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE DOMINATING THE
REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR
OUR N PROVIDING NE WINDS OF 5 TO 10 MPH ACROSS THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES ARE REBOUNDING FROM MORNING LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S TO
MID 30S...ON THEIR WAY TO EXPECTED HIGHS IN UPPER 50S TO THE LOWER
60S LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SOME CIRRUS IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OFF TO
OUR WEST...BUT THIS MAY NOT MAKE IT TO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
UNTIL AFTER SUNSET THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE REGION
FOR MUCH OF THE NEAR TERM PERIOD...AS THE DOMINANT RIDGE SLOWLY
SLIDES EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE UPPER MS VALLEY TODAY...TO A
POSITION JUST EAST OF NORTH CAROLINA ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT
IN A GRADUAL WARMING AND MOISTENING TREND TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CWA
AS RETURN FLOW BEGINS TO SET UP OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS SHOULD
ALLOW TEMPS TO GRADUALLY CLIMB BACK TOWARDS MORE TYPICAL
CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH HIGHS OF 70+
DEGREES NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. IN THE
MEANTIME...HOWEVER...ONE MORE COLD NIGHT APPEARS TO BE IN STORE FOR
MANY INLAND LOCATIONS...AS VERY GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS
WILL SET UP OVER THE AREA...WITH LITTLE EFFECTS EXPECTED FROM THE
INCREASING THIN CIRRUS. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A FAIRLY LONG
DURATION LIGHT FREEZE OVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE INTERIOR TONIGHT...
WITH AVERAGE LOW TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT A COUPLE OF
DEGREES COLDER THAN THIS PAST MORNING. HOWEVER...DO NOT ANTICIPATE
ANY AREAS TO REACH HARD FREEZE LEVELS AT THIS TIME...AND T-TD
DEPRESSIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOO GREAT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT FROST
FORMATION...BUT THOSE WITH TENDER VEGETATION SHOULD TAKE THE NORMAL
PRECAUTIONS FOR A LONG DURATION LIGHT FREEZE. AFTER TONIGHT...THE
UPCOMING WARMING TREND SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT AND LONG LIVED...WITH
NO ADDITIONAL FREEZES IN THE FCST FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 5-7
DAYS...AS THE MEAN UPPER LEVEL TROF OVER THE EASTERN U.S. IS
REPLACED BY ZONAL FLOW OR WEAK UPPER RIDGING.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THU THROUGH MON)...
OVERALL LOW AMPLITUDE PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THE PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
AS A STORM SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES. WITH MUCH OF
THE ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTHEAST...THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL BE SLOW TO PROGRESS INTO OUR REGION. THE 23/00Z GFS IS
SLOWER THAN THE 22/12Z EURO...AND GIVEN THE PATTERN...I WOULDNT BE
SURPRISED IF FUTURE RUNS SLOW THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THIS
SYSTEM DOWN EVEN MORE. THE MODELS EVENTUALLY SHOW THIS BOUNDARY
STALLING ACROSS OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY
MORNING. WHILE SOME SHOWERS SHOULD ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS IT MOVES
IN ON FRIDAY...IT WILL BE A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE WAVES THAT MOVE
ALONG THE FRONT THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND THAT WILL KEEP RAIN IN THE
FORECAST. A RELATIVELY WEAK UPPER TROF WILL SWING THROUGH THE
APPALACHIANS ON SUNDAY EVENING AND PUSH THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY EAST OF THE REGION ALLOWING FOR CLEARING CONDITIONS FOR THE
FIRST OF THE WEEK.

TEMPERATURES WILL LARGELY BE ABOVE CLIMO FOR THE PERIOD. THE EXACT
LOCATION OF WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS FOR THE WEEKEND WILL
GO ALONG WAY TO DETERMINE TEMPERATURES ON THESE DAYS. EVEN IF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH...THE AIRMASS BEHIND
IT IS NOT APPRECIABLY COLD.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS ARE FINALLY DROPPING BELOW SCEC LEVELS
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT A NE SURGE TONIGHT WILL LIKELY PUSH WINDS
RIGHT BACK INTO THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE BEFORE DIMINISHING AGAIN ON
TUES.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WITH
ONLY A FEW-SCT HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS RETURNING FROM THE NORTHWEST
OVERNIGHT INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TUESDAY. CAN NOT RULE OUT A BRIEF
PERIOD OF MVFR VIS TOWARD SUNRISE DUE TO RADIATIONAL GROUND FOG (TLH
AND KVLD)...HOWEVER IT SHOULD REMAIN SIMPLY TO DRY FOR THIS TO
OCCUR...AND WILL LEAVE MENTION OUR OF THE TAF PACKAGE. NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW BETWEEN 6 AND 10 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME
LIGHT AND VARIABLE AFTER SUNSET...AND THEN RETURN TO 5 TO 10 KNOTS
OUT OF THE EAST TUESDAY MORNING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...TUESDAY SHOULD BRING ANOTHER CLEAR CUT RED FLAG
WARNING ACROSS ALL OF THE FL BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE...WITH MANY
HOURS OF SUB 35 PERCENT RH EXPECTED. OVER SE AL AND SW GA...IT WILL
NOT BE QUITE AS CLEAR...WITH CONDITIONS VERY CLOSE TO MEETING THE
MORE STRINGENT 4 HR SUB 25 PERCENT DURATIONS...SO WILL HAVE TO MAKE
A TOUGH DECISION WHETHER TO UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THESE
AREAS. IN ANY EVENT...INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD PRECLUDE
ANY FURTHER CONCERNS FOR WED AND THU.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE OCHLOCKONEE RIVER CONTINUES TO SLOWLY FALL AT
THOMASVILLE...CONCORD...AND HAVANA...AND NO FLOODING CONCERNS ARE
ANTICIPATED WITH SEVERAL MORE DAYS OF DRY WEATHER AHEAD.
