AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
306 AM EST WED JAN 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...04 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY AND INTO COASTAL PORTIONS OF ALABAMA. A
STRONG LINE OF STORMS WAS ONGOING AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVING INTO OUR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND FLORIDA PANHANDLE COUNTIES.
THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT IS QUITE
IMPRESSIVE WITH SUSTAINED SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS
OCCASIONALLY GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT
INFLUX OF DEWPOINTS INTO THE UPPER 60S AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. WHILE
WE DONT SEE AN ESPECIALLY SHARP DEWPOINT GRADIENT BEHIND THE
FRONT...SOME DRIER AIR WILL BE GRADUALLY MOVING INTO THE REGION OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

UPPER AIR DATA FROM 00 UTC AND VAPOR IMAGERY SINCE THAT TIME
CONTINUES TO INDICATE A DEEP TROF MOVING ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY. THIS TROF WILL LIKELY WEAKEN SOME AS IT NEARS THE
EASTERN U.S. AND AS A RESULT...THE ONGOING LINE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE DYNAMICAL FORCING BECOMES LESS
FAVORABLE.

WHILE TORNADO WATCH #5 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12Z FOR THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF OUR CWA...WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO CLEAR SOME OF THE
COUNTIES WITH THE 4 AM EST MORNING PACKAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
WILL TRY TO KEEP THIS BRIEF WITH ONGOING ACTIVE WEATHER THIS
MORNING. RADAR DATA FROM KTLH AND OTHER SITES SHOWS A NARROW LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR
REGION. THESE STORMS JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE EASTWARD THIS MORNING. IT IS EXPECTED THAT WITH A GRADUAL
WEAKENING OF THE DEEP TROF THAT THE OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE
LINE...IF NOT THE COVERAGE...WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE WITH TIME
THROUGH THE MORNING. WITH THIS WEAKENING TREND...THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL ALSO SUBSIDE BY MID MORNING. THUS...HAVE SET UP
CURRENT POP GRIDS FOR THE FIRST PERIOD BASED ON RADAR TRENDS OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THE ASSOCIATED GUIDANCE MAY BE MOVING THIS
SYSTEM A BIT TOO FAST TO THE EAST...SO HAVE STAYED ABOVE THE MAV
GUIDANCE FOR THE FIRST PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

THERE IS CONCERN TODAY ABOUT STRONG NON-THUNDERSTORM WINDS IN THE
AFTERNOON BEHIND THIS STORM SYSTEM. IN FACT...LATEST SURFACE DATA
FROM WESTERN LOUISIANA IS ALREADY SHOWING STRONG WINDS THERE IN THE
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS. WITH THESE STRONGER WINDS LIKELY TO SPREAD
EASTWARD WITH TIME AND COMBINE WITH ANY AFTERNOON MIXING IN OUR
REGION...WILL LIKELY SEE WINDS CLOSER TO THE GFS FORECAST OF 20 TO
25 KNOTS SUSTAINED WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THIS IS ON THE HIGHER END OF
OUR LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. IF THESE WINDS WERE JUST A LITTLE
BIT HIGHER...WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE ACHIEVED...BUT GIVEN THAT
THERE IS JUST A LITTLE UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO HOW STRONG THE
WINDS WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON...WILL ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
ALL COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON AND LET THE INCOMING SHIFT MONITOR
CONDITIONS AND UPGRADE AS APPROPRIATE.

HIGH SURF ALONG OUR PANHANDLE BEACHES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EROSION
EXISTS TODAY. GIVEN THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW...EXPECT BEACHES FROM
PANAMA CITY BEACH AND SAINT ANDREW BAY STATE PARK EASTWARD TO CAPE
SAN BLAS AND THE WESTERN PORTION OF SAINT GEORGE ISLAND TO BEAR THE
BRUNT OF THE HIGH SURF. BASED ON OUR LOCALLY DEVELOPED SURF HEIGHT
MODEL...THE HIGHEST SURF IS PREDICTED FROM MEXICO BEACH DOWN TO THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF CAPE SAN BLAS. IN THIS AREA...SURF HEIGHTS WILL
APPROACH 9 FEET WITH AN OCCASIONAL SET UP TO 11 FEET POSSIBLE. IF
THESE SURF HEIGHTS ARE REALIZED...MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION
WILL OCCUR IN THESE AREAS. THIS EVENT IS SIMILAR TO A HIGH SURF
EVENT A FEW WEEKS AGO...WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE AMPLITUDE OF THE
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE AROUND 1 FOOT LOWER. THUS...DO NOT ANTICIPATE
THE NEED FOR A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AS THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL
SUFFICE. NEEDLESS TO SAY...RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BE HIGH TO EXTREME
FOR OUR PANHANDLE BEACHES. EVERYONE...INCLUDING EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS
AND SURFERS...SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE WATER TODAY.

A DRIER AND A LITTLE COOLER AIRMASS WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
INTO THURSDAY BEHIND THE INITIAL FRONT. A SECONDARY SURGE OF
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY NIGHT AND LEAD TO MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S BY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS
WILL FEEL QUITE COLD GIVEN THE WARM WEATHER OF THE LAST COUPLE
WEEKS. IN ANY EVENT...THE WEATHER WILL BE DRY STARTING WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY).
AFTER CAREFULLY READING LAST NIGHTS LONG TERM DISCUSSION...IT
APPEARS THAT THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE NOW COMPLETELY
FLIP-FLOPPED...WITH THE 00 UTC GFS NOW PUSHING THE 1ST COLD FRONT
FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION SAT AFTN AND EVENING...WHILE THE
12 UTC ECMWF RUN FROM TUE LINGERS THE FRONT AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
IN THE REGION INTO TUESDAY. WITH THIS MUCH UNCERTAINTY...WILL WAIT
FOR THE 00 UTC ECMWF RUN BEFORE COMPOSING THE EXTENDED GRIDS...WITH
THE HOPE THAT THE MODELS CONVERGE TOWARDS A CONSENSUS. IN ANY
EVENT...INDICATIONS ARE POINTING TOWARDS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ARCTIC
AIRMASS PLUNGING SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE
PERIOD...AS A  STEEP TROF BEGINS TO CARVE OUT OVER THE EASTERN U.S.
THIS SCENARIO WILL CERTAINLY BEAR WATCHING...AS THE COLDEST AIR OF
THE NEW YEAR MAY ARRIVE IN FULL FORCE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BUILD THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON INTO SOLID ADVISORY LEVELS. WITH A RAPIDLY LOOSENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE MARINE AREA TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS
WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AND SHOULD DROP BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. A SECONDARY SURGE OF CAUTIONARY WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE NEXT SURGE OF DRIER
AIR.

&&

.AVIATION...A VERY IMPRESSIVE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH
EASTWARD THROUGH THE TAF SITES OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH
WIND GUSTS OF 35 KTS OR GREATER POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER STORMS.
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...SKIES WILL QUICKLY BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY FROM
NW TO SE OVER THE REGION DURING THE DAY...BUT VERY GUSTY W-NW WINDS
WILL CONTINUE AT THE TERMINALS UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY
WED EVENING...ALL OF THE TAF SITES SHOULD BE UNLIMITED VFR...WITH
CLEAR SKIES AND MUCH LIGHTER NW WINDS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONTAL SYSTEM TODAY
ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME BRIEF RED
FLAG CONDITIONS OVER OUR INLAND FLORIDA PAHANDLE COUNTIES. A
CONTINUED DRY AIRMASS WILL ALSO CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG
CONDITIONS IN OUR SOUTHEAST FLORIDA BIG BEND COUNTIES ON THURSDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT PASSED
THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20
TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY
IN THE AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS WILL MAKE FOR DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
ON AREA LAKES.

THESE SAME STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL CREATE LARGE AND DANGEROUS
SURF ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE BEACHES...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN
PANAMA CITY BEACH AND CAPE SAN BLAS. SURF HEIGHTS WILL BUILD TO 9
FEET BY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL LIKELY CREATE MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH
EROSION IN THE VULNERABLE LOCATIONS ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
COAST.

THE COMBINATION OF THE LARGE SURF AND STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL
CREATE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND BEACHES. AS A RESULT...A HIGH RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS IS INDICATED FOR TODAY. THUS...NO ONE SHOULD ENTER THE
WATER...EVEN EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS AND SURFERS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
A DRY AIRMASS WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION INTO THE EARLY PORTION OF
THE WEEKEND BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT A MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL SURGE IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY WITH TEMPERATURES MONDAY MORNING
APPROACHING THE FREEZING MARK WELL INLAND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
WITH STRONG STORMS EXITING THE REGION TO THE EAST EARLY THIS
MORNING...SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY.
