25-CAMP

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
249 PM EST MON DEC 14 2009

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT).
THE WET PATTERN ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE CLEARING OUT THROUGH THE DAY
WEDNESDAY AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE AREA. THE MAIN
CONCERN THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL BE ON ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
ACCUMULATIONS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING AS THE GROUNDS ARE
ALREADY SATURATED FROM PREVIOUS RAINS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
PLENTY OF MOISTURE OVER THE GULF COAST AND THE SOUTHEAST COMBINED
WITH DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL KEEP THE
RAIN CHANCES UP. THE LATEST MODEL PACKAGE INDICATES THE MAIN SWATH
OF RAIN WILL SETUP ALONG A LINE EXTENDING EAST-NORTHEAST FROM
SOUTHEAST ALABAMA TO ALBANY IN SOUTHWEST GA. ADDITIONAL TOTALS OF
AROUND 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TO AROUND 3
INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS AREA THIS EVENING THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING. AS A RESULT...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED
ACROSS THIS AREA. IN ADDITION TO THE RAIN...DENSE FOG ACROSS THE
MUCH OF THE AREA AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS WILL BE EXPECTED
AGAIN TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE LIGHT WINDS AND VERY MOIST AIR
REMAIN IN PLACE. THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE
TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AND DRIER AIRMASS FILLING IN ACROSS THE AREA
FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
WITH THE WINDS SHIFTING TO THE NORTH. TEMPERATURES WILL COME BACK
DOWN TOWARD NORMAL WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY).
AT THE SURFACE...THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED SHOWS THE COLD
FRONT PULLING UP STATIONARY IN THE FLORIDA STRAITS WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THE EXTENDED ACCORDING
TO THE GFS BEGINS WITH A DEEP LOW ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES
AND RIDGING ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. THE UPPER AIR PATTERN STAYS
SOMEWHAT STAGNANT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH RIDGING
AMPLIFYING SLIGHTLY IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST...AND TROUGHING
CONTINUING IN THE EAST. THE UPPER LOW IN THE CANADIAN MARITIMES
RETROGRADES WESTWARD BACK ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES BY THE END OF THE
PERIOD. THE 00Z EURO IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR...BUT DEEPENS THE TROUGH
BACK ACROSS THE NATIONS MID SECTION... WHICH CREATES MUCH MORE
WEATHER ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO AND PENINSULA FLORIDA
...BEGINNING FRIDAY IN THE WESTERN GULF...AND SPREADING INTO THE
EASTERN GULF BY SATURDAY WITH A STRONGER COLD FRONTAL SURGE COMING
THROUGH THE REGION ON SATURDAY. THE GFS SHOWS A REINFORCING SURGE
TOO...BUT MUCH WEAKER. OVERALL...TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. WILL PROBABLY CARRY A LITTLE HIGHER
POPS THAN GFS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DENOTING SOME UNCERTAINTY IN
THE TWO FORECASTS. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY... BOTH GFS AND
EURO CLEARS US OUT.

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST...THEN SHIFT
TO NORTH IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. IN ADDITION
TO THE APPROACHING FRONT AND INCREASING RAIN CHANCES...EXPECT THE
DENSE FOG OVER MUCH OF THE MARINE AREA TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. VISIBILITIES SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE THROUGH THE DAY
WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. A PERIOD OR TWO WITH
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE POSSIBLE SOMETIME BETWEEN
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE NORTHERLY WINDS FILL
IN.

&&

.AVIATION...A MESSY FORECAST IS ON TAP FOR ALL TAF LOCATIONS. WHILE
VSBYS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THIS AFTERNOON...CIGS WILL REMAIN LOW
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE BENEATH A STALLED
FRONT WILL KEEP CIGS LOW THROUGH TOMORROW. EXPECT CIGS TO CLIMB TO
TO MVFR LEVELS BY THE AFTERNOON. A COMPLICATING FACTOR THAT MAY
LIMIT RECOVERY OF VSBYS/CIGS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL BE SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. EXPECT LIFR CONDITIONS
TO RETURN TO MOST TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WITH SOME SLOW RECOVERY OF
VSBYS/CIGS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TUESDAY AS A FRONT PUSHES THROUGH
THE AREA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A WET WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA
WITH A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION MONDAY AND A COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SUFFICIENT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITY ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS THROUGH MID-WEEK.
