AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
910 PM EST WED FEB 18 2009
...SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK STILL POSSIBLE TONIGHT...
.DISCUSSION...STRONG SW SFC FLOW IS STILL EVIDENT ACROSS THE CWA
THIS EVENING OUT AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING SHORTWAVE AND APPROACHING
COLD FRONT FROM THE NW. THIS INCREASINGLY MOIST FLOW IS ADVECTING IN
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S...NORTHWARD INTO MUCH OF THE FL PANHANDLE
...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...
WHICH SHOULD GRADUALLY SPREAD EASTWARD DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. FURTHER TO THE NORTH AND WEST...SCT SUPERCELLULAR TSTMS WITH
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP...BUT MUCH OF THESE ARE STILL TRAVERSING EASTWARD JUST TO
THE N CWA THUS FAR...BUT IT MAY NOT BE TOO MUCH LONGER BEFORE SOME
THESE STRONGER CELLS BEGIN IMPACTING OUR REGION. HOWEVER...STILL
EXPECT THE GREATEST TORNADIC THREAT WILL BE ACROSS AREAS TO THE N OF
THE FL BORDER OVERNIGHT...AS AN INCREASED DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE
WIND GUST THREAT (WITH SOME LARGE HAIL STILL POSSIBLE) DEVELOPS OVER
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND AS A MORE LINEAR SQUALL LINE
FEATURE FORMS JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT ITSELF. IN FACT...A
NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED AT THE WESTERN
BORDER OF OUR CWA...AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SUBSEQUENT WATCHES
FOR THE CWA ARE OF THE SEVERE VARIETY. NEVERTHELESS...ALL INTERESTS
ARE URGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FOR ANY LATER WATCHES AND WARNINGS.
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WEVE SEEN A TEMPORARY SLIGHT DROP IN
WINDS AND SEAS TO LEVELS JUST BELOW SCA CRITERIA DURING THE PAST
COUPLE OF HOURS...BUT EXPECT THAT THIS WILL BE VERY BRIEF...WITH
WINDS QUICKLY RAMPING BACK UP AGAIN...SO WILL NOT MAKE ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE UPDATED FCST TONIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION...MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH
BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR IN THUNDERSTORMS. BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL
BE BETWEEN 04-08Z AT DHN AND 07-11Z AT VLD. THE REMAINING TERMINALS
WILL BE IMPACTED MAINLY BETWEEN 06-10Z. AFTER THE FRONT SWEEPS
THROUGH...SKIES WILL CLEAR RAPIDLY...DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS AT
DHN AND PFN...AROUND SUNRISE AT ABY AND TLH AND A BIT AFTER AT VLD.
GUSTY NW WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT TO THE TERMINALS DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 20 KT.
