AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
225 PM EDT FRI APR 24 2009

.SYNOPSIS...WITH THE MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG HAVING BURNED
OFF ACROSS THE CWA...A MOSTLY SUNNY AND WARM AFTERNOON IS WELL
UNDERWAY ACROSS THE REGION. SEA BREEZES ARE BEGINNING NEAR THE
COAST...AND SOMEWHAT OF A CU FIELD MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE
FRONTS IF DEWPOINTS REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH NEAR THE COAST AND NEAR SHORE
WATERS. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS CONTINUE AS EXPECTED OUT OF
THE SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 KTS...BUT STILL MAY BECOME LOCALLY GUSTY
NEAR THE COAST IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO THE CURRENT PACKAGE IS EXPECTED
AS BOTH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC WILL KEEP
FAIR AND UNSEASONABLY VERY WARM WEATHER OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND....WHICH SHOULD MAKE FOR IDEAL OUTDOOR...POOL....
BEACH...AND ANY OTHER PLANNED OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD CLIMB INTO AT LEAST THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S AWAY FROM THE
COAST...WHILE REACHING THE LOWER 80S AT THE COAST BEFORE THE SEA
BREEZE KICKS IN. THEREFORE...ALTHOUGH SOME MAY BE APPROACHED...DO
NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD HIGHS WILL BE IN SERIOUS
DANGER OF BEING BROKEN (TALLAHASSEE (TLH) AT 90 DEGREES AND
APALACHICOLA (AAF) 86 DEGREES ON SAT...AND THE RECORDS ARE EVEN
WARMER ON SUN...SO NOTHING SHOULD BE THREATENED.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS HAVE ARRIVED...AT LEAST THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD NEXT WEEK...AS THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN OF A TROUGH OVER THE
WEST AND RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED.
AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL
PRODUCE A GENERAL SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE TRI-STATE
AREA...RESULTING IN ABOVE NORMAL MAX AND MIN TEMPERATURES. RIDGING
ALOFT WILL TEND TO SUPPRESS SHOWER DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...WITH
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND STRONG DAYTIME HEATING...ISOLATED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...BUT
AT LEAST A CAUTIONARY E-SE WIND SURGE IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ON
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...AS THE SFC RIDGE MOVES E OF THE
REGION. AFTER A BRIEF CESSATION IN WINDS AND SEAS A VERY SIMILAR
EVENT MAY OCCUR SUN NIGHT INTO MONDAY...BUT WILL NOT SHOW ANYTHING
ABOVE SCEC AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL.
HOWEVER...SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING...MVFR TO POSSIBLY IFR CIGS AND
VSBYS ARE NOT OUT OF QUESTION LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING IN FOG. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...IT APPEARS CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR ONE MORE
DAY OF RED FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL OF THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND
PANHANDLE EXCEPT FOR GULF AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES...BUT A REMARK ON
SUNDAY...OF 1-3 HRS BELOW 35 PERCENT OVER THE EASTERN BIG BEND
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.

STRONGER WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE
PLANNING OF ANY PRESCRIBED BURNS.

THAT DEVELOP.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND MAY
APPROACH CAUTIONARY LEVELS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE OFFSHORE MARINE
ZONES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

SURFACE RIDGE TAKES A POSITION THAT WILL FAVOR NOCTURNAL
