Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 2:07 AM EDT, 6 hours 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
207 AM EDT SAT MAR 28 2009
...POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES
TODAY...
.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)...DEEP UPPER LOW CURRENTLY
SITUATED IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY WILL MOVE EAST AND THEN NORTHEAST
TO THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI TODAY. ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE WILL
CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY DEEPEN ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...LIFTING
NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE DAY. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE GULF COAST THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY...REACHING THE BIG BEND BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
COMPLEX AND DYNAMIC WEATHER EVENT WILL UNFOLD TODAY AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE ONGOING THIS MORNING
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. THIS ACTIVITY IS
FOCUSED ALONG A WARM FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHICH EXTENDS EAST ALONG
THE GULF COAST INTO THE PANHANDLE. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
PROGAGATE EAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT
AND INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON SATURDAY. AS THE COMPLEX MOVES
EAST...THE SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY ACROSS
THE PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA. THIS WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS COMPLEX AS IT MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN CWA BY SUNRISE.
THIS INITIAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX EXPECTED TO CROSS THE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE FIRST HALF OF SATURDAY. ADDITIONAL STORMS...POSSIBLY
SEVERE...ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND THE REGION COMES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION TO A 120+ KNOT UPPER JET.
ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY...RANGING FROM
ISOLATED TORNADOES TO DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS TO LARGE HAIL.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40-60 KNOTS IS ANTICIPATED THROUGHOUT THE DAY
ALONG WITH FORECAST CAPES AOA 1000J/KG. THE AXIS OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED SFC BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCUS OF THE HIGHEST
RISK FOR TORNADOES TODAY. ADDITIONALLY...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN AMPLE...WITH STORMS TRAVELING OVER ALREADY SATURATED AREAS.
THUS...THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TODAY.
MUCH DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
WHILE AFTERNOON HIGHS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DROP MUCH...MORNING LOWS
SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNINGS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER.
.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY)...THE ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE
MID/UPPER PATTERN OF THE SHORT TERM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL QUICKLY EXIT THE EASTERN
CONUS AS THE NEXT PLAINS TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT
MOVES FROM THE MS VALLEY TUESDAY TO THE APPALACHIANS AND SOUTHEAST
CONUS ON WEDNESDAY. BOTH THE 28/00Z GFS AND 27/12Z EURO DEPICT A
LOW PRESSURE WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT NEAR THE CENTRAL GULF
COAST...AND MOVE IT NORTHEAST TOWARD THE CAROLINAS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS PROCESS WILL DRAG THE FRONT INTO NORTHERN FL AND
NORTHEAST GULF WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN STALL. THEN THE FRONT LIFTS
RAPIDLY NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT THURSDAY AHEAD OF A STRONGER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND OH VALLEY
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP
EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY...WITH DRIER AIR IN ITS WAKE.
AFTER A COOL START TUESDAY...LOW TEMPS WILL MODERATE TO ABOVE
NORMAL. HIGH TEMPS WILL AVERAGE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION...MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH SATURDAY. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTERACTING
WITH A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...MOVING NORTHWARD FROM THE NORTHERN
GULF OF MEXICO ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT...WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. ON SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES...REACHING KDHN AND KPFN
BY LATE MORNING...AND ACROSS THE REMAINING TERMINALS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF
THE FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WEST SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST.
&&
.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT WITH THE FROPA. OFFSHORE WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
GRADUALLY SUBSIDE SUNDAY BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE EAST MONDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE ONCE
AGAIN BY TUESDAY AS THE NEXT FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS TODAY. RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE INLAND FL ZONES WITH A
DRIER AIR MASS IN PLACE.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS RANGED
FROM ONE TO THREE INCHES ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA...AND WESTERN BIG BEND.
ACTIVE RAIN PRODUCING SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND
CONTRIBUTE TO ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AND AGAIN DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. 24 HOUR RAINFALL
TOTALS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE FROM TWO TO FOUR
INCHES ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE HSA...WITH LOCALLY AS
MUCH AS FOUR TO SIX INCHES POSSIBLE. THIS WET PATTERN WILL GENERATE
SIGNIFICANT RISES ON RIVER BASINS. THE BASINS AT MOST RISK FOR RAPID
RISES WILL BE: CHOCTAWHATCHEE...PEA...CHATTAHOOCHEE...OCHLOCKONEE...
FLINT...ST MARKS...AND APALACHICOLA RIVERS. BRIEF INTENSE BANDS OF
RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH PASSING LINES OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
DURING EACH EVENT MAY GENERATE LOCALIZED FLOODING ON SMALLER CREEKS
AND STREAMS.
FORECASTERS AT NWS TALLAHASSEE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR HYDROLOGIC
CONDITIONS AND ISSUE FLOOD PRODUCTS AS NEEDED. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS
IN EFFECT FOR THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN BIG BEND THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.
