330 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2010

.DISCUSSION...

...STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...

...GALE CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE ATLANTIC LATER
TODAY/TONIGHT...

CURRENT...WATER VAPOR/RUC INIT/ANLYS FIELDS SHOW A VERY IMPRESSIVE
SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE TX COAST...MOVING A BIT SOUTH OF DUE EAST
ATTM. STRONG 120KT+ H25 JET CORE EXTENDS FROM SOUTH OF THE TROUGH
ENEWD ACROSS THE SERN/MID ATLC STATES...AS WELL AS THE NRN HALF OF
FL. SFC LOW PRES CTR (1002MB AND DROPPING) SOUTH OF THE ERN LA COAST
NEAR 26-27N MOVING EWD.

TODAY/TONIGHT...SFC LOW WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EASTWARD NEXT H24. A ROUGH
CONSENSUS OF THE 96Z NAM AND 00Z GFS/ECM/UKM PLACES THE LOW ABOUT 120
MILES WSW OF TBW BY 18Z...AND ROCKETING TO THE EAST COAST OF FL NEAR
OR JUST SOUTH OF CAPE CANAVERAL BY 00Z (THIS IS ABOUT 250 MILES IN
6HR...OR ABOUT 40+ MPH FWD SPEED). STRONG ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE DVLPS
AREAWIDE - SLGTLY WEAKER NR LAKE OKEE...WHERE WARM SECTOR MAY NOSE
NWD BRIEFLY BY LATE AFTN...ALLOWING SOME ISOLD FAST MOVG TS TO FORM.
HEALTHY QPF AMOUNTS FOR SUCH A FAST MOVG SYS...ABOUT 3/4". HAVE KEPT
90% FAR SOUTH/100% ELSEWHERE POP CONFIG FOR THE CWA. TEMPS MAY HAVE
TROUBLE GETTING MUCH ABOVE 50F ACROSS THE FAR NORTH...AND ARE FCST
AOB 60F NORTH OF MCO-TTS...WITH SOME L70S ACROSS THE FAR SERN CWA
...ASSUMING THE WARM SECTOR MAKES IT THERE. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW
FAST MOVING TS PRODUCING WIND DAMAGE NEAR THE LAKE....THOUGH FCST
CAPE VALUES ARE BARELY POSITIVE THAT FAR NORTH.

CTRL PRES DROPS BELOW 1000MB AS IT EXITS COAST...WITH STRONG GALE CTR
TAKING SHAPE OFFSHORE TNGT. STRONG (ALMOST ENOUGH FOR LAKE WIND ADV
CRITERIA) AND GUSTY WINDS ON TAP FRI NIGHT/EARLY SAT MORNING BEHIND
DEPARTING LOW. EVENING RAINS WILL GET SWEPT RAPIDLY OFFSHORE...AND
EXPECT PRECIP TO SHUT OFF OVER LAND BEFORE TEMPS GET COLD ENOUGH FOR
WINTER P-TYPE CONCERNS (WHAT STATE IS THIS AGAIN?) WCI VALUES BOTTOM
OUT 29-32F ACROSS THE FAR NRN CWA AROUND SUNRISE SAT...M30S-L40S
ELSEWHERE.

SAT...GALE CTR IS FORECAST TO MOVE WELL EAST OF CAROLINAS AS THE
COLD FRONT SWEEPS WELL OUR TO SEA. NORTHWEST WILL ADVECT A COLD AND
DRY AIR MASS INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA. CURRENT GFS FORECAST HAS THE 0
DEGREE 850MB ISOTHERM DROPPING DOWN INTO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES
SATURDAY THEN LIFTING NORTH OVERNIGHT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. CHILLY
SATURDAY WITH FORECAST HIGHS IN THE 50S EVERYWHERE EXCEPT AROUND 60
IN MARTIN COUNTY. SATURDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER COLD ONE WITH
LOWS AROUND FREEZING NW OF INTERSTATE FOUR AND THE NORMALLY COLDER
LOCATIONS IN THE CWA...AND THE MID AND UPPER 30S FOR MUCH OF THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA.. OUTLIER LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE COLDER
TEMPERATURES EARLY AND LONG SATURDAY NIGHT.

SUN...AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OVERHEAD THE
AREA...LIGHT WINDS AND NEAR FULL SUN WILL ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT
WARM UP WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S NORTHERN LAKE AND
NORTHWEST VOLUSIA TO THE MID 60S SOUTHERN COUNTIES BY LAKE
OKEECHOBEE. DRY AIR MASS IS FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA.

SUN NIGHT-MON...STILL COLD SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD AIR MASS WILL
HAVE HAD MAXIMUM TIME OVER THE AREA WITH LITTLE MODIFICATION DURING
THE DAY SUNDAY. LATE WIND SHIFT TO THE SOUTH SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
SHIFTS INTO THE ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST AND INTO NORTHERN FLORIDA. FRONT DOES NOT LOOK VERY STRONG
AS LAPSE RATES SHOULD BE RATHER WEAK DUE TO THE COLD AIR MASS THE
FRONT WILL BE PUSHING INTO SO WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. A
LITTLE WARMER WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM LOWER 60S NORTHWEST AREAS TO
THE UPPER 60S IN MARTIN COUNTY.

MON NIGHT...FRONT QUICKLY CLEARS CENTRAL FLORIDA AND ANOTHER COLD
AIR MASS STARTS WORKING ITS WAY DOWN THE PENINSULA WITH TUE MORNING
LOWS MID AND UPPER 30S NORTHERN AREAS TO THE MID 40S SAINT LUCIE AND
MARTIN COUNTIES.

TUE-FRI...HIGH PRESSURE MOVING WEST TO EAST MORE SLOWLY OVER THE AREA
THAN PREVIOUS DAYS WILL KEEP THE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA IN A NORTHWEST
TO NORTH FLOW THROUGH THURSDAY THEN NORTHEAST LATE FRI. HIGHS REMAIN
IN THE 60S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS WED AND THURS MORNING IN THE UPPER
30S EVERYWHERE EXCEPT SOUTHEAST AREAS WHERE LOW 40S SHOULD BE
OBSERVED WED MORNING. THURS MORNING A LITTLE WARMER WITH LOWS IN THE
LOWER 40S EXCEPT NORTH OF INTERSTATE 4 WHERE UPPER 30S ARE EXPECTED.

AREAS OF IFR PSBLY BECMG WDSPRD 18Z-24Z AS STRATIFORM CLOUDS/RAIN
ENVELOP ALL TERMINALS. MVFR CIGS LKLY THROUGH 06Z...BREAKING UP
TWD SUNRISE SAT.

.MARINE...MAIN CHG TO FCST WAS TO HOIST GLW FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS
STARTING AT 21Z AND GOING WITH SCA FOR WINDS OVER THE NEARSHORE LEGS.
OTRW...NOSIG CHGS TO FCST NEXT H24 AS TIGHTENING PGRAD LEADS TO
DANGEROUS BOATING CONDS STARTING LATE THIS AFTN.

SAT-SAT NIGHT...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS KEEP BOTH NEARSHORE AND
OFFSHORE WATERS IN A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY SATURDAY. WINDS DIMINISH
ENOUGH TO LOWER THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TO SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE
CAUTION OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT. SUN...BOATERS MAY
GET A CHANCE TO GO OUT A LITTLE WAYS AS NORTHWEST WINDS DIMINISH TO
15 KNOTS OR LESS OVER MOST OF THE COASTAL WATERS BUT SEAS FORECAST
TO REMAIN 7 FEET OR MORE IN/NEAR THE GULF STREAM SUNDAY BEFORE
LOWERING TO 6 FEET OR LESS SUNDAY NIGHT.  MON...INCREASING SOUTH
THEN SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE
EASTERN GULF AND FLORIDA. FRONT FORECAST TO CLEAR THE AREA OVERNIGHT
MON. TUE-WED...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN A
NORTHWEST TO NORTH FLOW OVER THE WATERS. WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO POST EXERCISE CAUTION FOR MAINLY WINDS OVER THE OFFSHORE
WATERS BOTH DAYS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SAT-SUN...STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ADVECT A VERY
DRY AIR MASS DOWN THE PENINSULA. DURATIONS OF LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY
WILL BE A CONCERN OVER THE INTERIOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. ON MONDAY
...MIN RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER 30S AND 40S
AS SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT PUSH SOME
MOISTURE UP THE PENINSULA. TUESDAY...ANOTHER DRY AIR MASS OVER THE
SOUTHEAST STATES WILL WORK ITS WAY DOWN THE PENINSULA WITH MIN RH
VALUES EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 30S. MAY SEE SOME INTERIOR LOCALES
REACH 3 TO 4 HOURS OF 35 PERCENT OR LOWER TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A MODERATE SWELL GENERATED BY A STRONG STORM SYSTEM OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND COASTS WILL IMPACT THE FLORIDA ATLANTIC
COAST TODAY. THIS SWELL WILL GENERATE A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK

12:30 PM THIS AFTERNOON DURING THE OUTGOING TIDE. ALWAYS CHECK
WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS FOR THE LATEST BEACH CONDITIONS BEFORE
VENTURING INTO THE OPEN OCEAN AND NEVER SWIM ALONE.

DEEP SOUTH. NEVERTHELESS...SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE SEVEN
FEET OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...AND
BETWEEN FOUR AND SIX FEET OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS. THE OFFSHORE
WIND COMPONENT ALSO WILL GENERATE CHOPPY...SHORT PERIOD WIND WAVES
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

...FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH VERY DRY AIR ACROSS THE
CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA TODAY. THE DRY AIR WILL GENERATE A
LOW TO MODERATE THREAT FOR WILD FIRES ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL REBUILD OVER THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT AS A FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM CROSSES THE SOUTH
