Severe Thunderstorm Warning 261, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
242 AM EDT MON JUL 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...ONGOING WEATHER IN OUR CWA HAS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS WITH AN AREA OF STRATIFORM PRECIP ACROSS
MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA. A FEW WEAK CONVECTIVE CELLS CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA. ELSEWHERE IN THE SOUTHEAST...THERE ARE SEVERAL BANDS OF
STORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY IN THE
CAROLINAS...TENNESSEE...ARKANSAS BACK INTO TEXAS. AT 06Z...TEMPS IN
THE CWA WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S...EXCEPT IN THE 80S ALONG THE
COAST...DEWPOINTS WERE MOSTLY IN THE 70S. THE SURFACE MAP THIS
MORNING SHOWS THAT THE 1008-MB LOW IS NOW CENTERED IN NORTH CAROLINA
WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...
THEN SOUTHWEST INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES. THE ATLANTIC RIDGE AT THE SURFACE HAS
SAGGED FARTHER SOUTH AND IS CURRENTLY SITUATED IN THE FLORIDA STRAITS
EXTENDING AS FAR WEST AS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO.

ALOFT...THE RIDGE ALOFT IS STACKED NEARLY OVER THE SURFACE RIDGE. THE
CENTER OF THE UPPER ANTICYCLONE IS NOW WEST OF BAJA. FLOW CONTINUES
TO BE SOMEWHAT ZONAL ACROSS CONUS WITH A TROUGH IN THE EAST...RIDGE
IN THE INTER MOUNTAIN WEST...AND A TROUGH JUST OFF THE COAST IN THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WV IMAGERY DEPICTS THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT
QUITE WELL ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING BACK
INTO NORTHWEST MEXICO.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO SAG EVER SO SLOWLY SOUTHWARD
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER TROUGH...FOCUSING
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THE UPPER
ANTICYCLONE WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTHWEST U.S. ON WEDNESDAY...WHICH
APPEARS TO AMPLIFY AND FOCUS THE TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN SLIP EVEN FARTHER SOUTH ON
WEDNESDAY PROBABLY INTO OUR CWA INCREASING THE UNCERTAINTY FOR OUR
NORTHERN ZONES...WILL IT BE CLEARING SKIES...WARMER TEMPS OR JUST
ANOTHER WET DAY.

TODAY WILL BE QUITE DISTURBED...CATEGORICAL POPS...COOLER MAX TEMPS.
OUR WORKSTATION WRF AGREES...DEVELOPING A MCS IN SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
WHICH THEN MOVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE ENTIRE CWA...CLEARING THE CWA
BY 03Z WITH NEARLY 100 PERCENT COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL
BE GOING WITH TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S TODAY...A TAD BIT WARMER
ON TUESDAY WITH POPS IN THE 60 AND 70 PERCENT RANGE. FOR WEDNESDAY...
TEMPS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 WITH POPS RANGING FROM 60
PERCENT SOUTH AND 30-40 PERCENT NORTH.

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
ONLY MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED. PERIOD BEGINS WITH
GLOBAL MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. ALOFT...THIS PERSISTENT SUMMER
PATTERN HIGHLIGHTED BY MEAN COOL TROUGHS CENTERED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
TO PAC NW COAST AND ALONG ERN SEABOARD WITH A BROAD HOT RIDGE IN
BETWEEN CENTERED OVER CENTRAL PLAINS WITH AXIS SW TO HIGH OVER TX/NM
BORDER. UPPER LOWS REMAIN INVCNTY OF OREGON/WASH COAST JUST OFF N
ENGLAND. THE WESTWARD EXTENSION OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE IS APPROACHING
BAHAMAS. GFS/ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT DURING DAYS 4/5 WITH NW FLOW
ACROSS SE REGION. THEY SHOW PLAINS RIDGE ADVANCING EWD WITH A SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES DROPPING DOWN FRONT SIDE AND INTO THE EXTREME
SOUTHEAST STATES ALLOWING ERN TROUGH TO SHARPEN OFF ATLC COAST WHILE
ATLANTIC RIDGE INTENSIFIES BACK TO THE WEST FROM BAHAMAS WWD INTO
CENTRAL FLORIDA AND KEEPING A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
ACROSS THE SE U.S. AS A RESULT...A DIFFLUENT PATTERN EVOLVES OVER
THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND ESPECIALLY NE GULF REGION RESULTING IN
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONVECTION ESPECIALLY DAYS 4-5.

AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS CONTINUES ACROSS SOUTHERN
FL THROUGH LATE THURSDAY KEEPING SOUTHWEST FLOW IN PLACE. THE RIDGE
AXIS THEN LIFTS NORTHWARD TO ACROSS CENTRAL FL FRIDAY AND REMAINS IN
PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY. MEANWHILE...BERMUDA RIDGE EXPANDS WESTWARD
INTO FL. UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO FOCUS MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
(WITH CONTINUING SERIES OF SHORTWAVES) ON PERSISTENT TROUGH/
BOUNDARY ACROSS N FL WED...BUT THEN BOUNDARY BEGINS TO DISSIPATE
LATE THURS AS UPPER RIDGE BUILD EWD SHUNTING UPPER TROUGH AXIS E OF
CWA AND FL RIDGE CONTS NWD. ACCORDINGLY POPS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE
THRU PERIOD.

ALTHOUGH IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...GFS/ECMWF STILL
DIVERGE MODESTLY TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD AND ESPECIALLY HOW
FAR EAST THE UPPER RIDGE WILL EXPAND EWD. BUT OVERALL...CWA REMAINS
BETWEEN EXPANDING CENTRAL U.S. RIDGE AND ON BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH. THE GFS EXPANDS LARGE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE EASTWARD INTO THE SE
STATES...WHILE THE ECMWF A TAD LESS AGGRESSIVE ALLOWING UPPER TROUGH
TO PENETRATE FURTHER INTO THE SE U.S. ALL IN ALL...UNSETTLED WEATHER
PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD DOMINATED BY LINGERING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH ENERGY/
DISTURBANCES TRAVERSING THE AREA...AND HIGH ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AND
WARM TEMPERATURES.

THIS COMBINATION TRANSLATES TO LIKELY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WED
NIGHT THRU THURS...THEN SCT CONVECTION THURS NIGHT THRU MON AS
SURFACE BOUNDARY DISSIPATES AND A RETURN TO NORMAL SEA BREEZE
AFTN/EVE ACTIVITY. MIN TEMPS REMAIN CLOSE TO NORMAL (CLIMO AROUND
70) WITH MAX TEMPS BEGINNING EXTENDED IN UPPER 80S...A LITTLE BELOW
CLIMO (CLIMO LOW 90S). THEY THEN RETURN TO CLIMO SAT AND INCH UP TO
A TAD ABOVE CLIMO ON MON...ALLOWING FOR A PROGRESSIVELY STRONGER SEA
BREEZE EACH AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...DURING REST OF OVERNIGHT HOURS...SW-NE BAND OF
CONVECTION HIGHLIGHTED BY EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING MOVING EWD AND
WEAKENING THRU CWA TOWARDS SUNRISE. BAND ASSOCD WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
(AND BRIEF IFR CONDS) IN ANY HEAVY RAIN AND FOG. UNTIL BAND DIES OUT
AND/OR EXITS E OF I-75...FORECAST REMAINS TRICKY. AFTER SUNRISE...
EXPECT AN UNSETTLED DAY...WITH FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CONVECTION/RAIN
EVENT AT THE TERMINALS AND THIS REFLECTED IN TAF WITH 4HR TEMPOS FOR
TSTMS/MVFR CIGS/VSBYS UNTIL AT LEAST MID EVE. THE MAIN THREATS WITH
ANY STRONGER STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS UP TO 40-60 MPH AND
HAIL. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST THROUGH
THIS EVE.

&&

.MARINE...PROLONGED PERIOD OF WEST TO SW FLOW ON TAP. LOOKING FOR THE
GRADIENT TO FURTHER TIGHTEN UP AS THE COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD
TOWARD THE AREA. EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN
TODAY. THESE ELEVATED WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AFTER WHICH
THE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WITH COLD FRONT STALLING TO THE NORTH OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW OFF THE GULF COMBINED WITH SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS THROUGH THE MID-WEEK PERIOD.
