AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
255 PM EST SAT DEC 11 2010

...ANOTHER ARCTIC OUTBREAK APPEARS LIKELY FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA...

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...NOT MUCH TO ADD TO WHAT
HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED. AN ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL SPILL INTO THE
TRI-STATE REGION BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING. THE FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED BY A DECENT LINE OF SHOWERS WITH
AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR A THUNDERSTORM WILL BE ACROSS THE PANHANDLE COASTAL
WATERS AND COASTAL ZONES. WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON SUNDAY
OUR SE AL AND OUR NORTHWEST GEORGIA ZONES MAY EXPERIENCE STEADY
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S POSSIBLY DROPPING INTO THE
UPPER 30S BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THESE TEMPERATURES IN
COMBINATION WITH SUSTAINED WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 20 MPH
WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE THE LOWER TO MID 30S. THE REMAINDER OF THE
CWA WILL SEE MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S WITH WIND CHILLS IN
THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S AWAY FROM THE FLORIDA COAST. I'M LESS
OPTIMISTIC FOR MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES BY AFTERNOON AS WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO GENERATE A STRATO-CU FIELD.
THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WITH THIS AIRMASS WILL NOT FELT UNTIL
TUESDAY MORNING HOWEVER A HARD FREEZE IS POSSIBLE AT LEAST FOR OUR
SE AL AND GA ZONES BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. THE ONLY INHIBITING FACTOR
WILL BE WINDS FORECAST TO BE IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE SUNDAY NIGHT.
IF THE CONDITIONS VERIFIES...WE WOULD SEE WIND CHILL READINGS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS THROUGHOUT THE CWA AWAY FROM COASTAL
AREAS WHICH WOULD PROMPT THE ISSUANCE OF A RARE WIND CHILL ADVISORY.
COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES MONDAY ON BRISK NORTHWEST TO NORTH
WINDS WITH MAX TEMPS ONLY REACHING THE LOWER TO MID 40S EVEN UNDER
MOSTLY SUNNY OR SUNNY SKIES.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...THE LONG TERM PERIOD
BEGINS WITH THE LARGE EAST COAST TROF ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
DOWN TO THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THE ARCTIC BLAST
WILL BE IN FULL FORCE ACROSS OUR REGION. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE WILL INITIALLY REMAIN LOCATED ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY...BUT MODELS SHOW THE HIGH DROPPING INTO THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WHETHER WE SEE LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY
MORNING AS LOW AS WE SAW WITH THE LAST ARCTIC OUTBREAK HINGES
GREATLY ON THE SURFACE HIGH POSITION. WHILE THERE IS NOT DOUBT THAT
THE INCOMING AIRMASS IS QUITE COLD (AND VERY DRY)...THERE HAVE BEEN
TOO MANY INSTANCES OBSERVED IN THE PAST WHERE A VERY COLD AIRMASS IS
IN PLACE...BUT TOO MUCH WIND AT NIGHT PREVENTS LOWS FROM REACHING
PREDICTED VALUES. LATEST MEX GUIDANCE RANGES FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO
LOW 20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. THE 11/00Z MEX VALUES ARE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS CYCLE. GIVEN POTENTIAL NEGATIVE
FACTORS TO SEEING TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE TEENS...WILL OPT FOR A
SOLUTION TUESDAY MORNING THAT IS A BLEND OF THE CURRENT FORECAST AND
THE LATEST MEX NUMBERS.

TUESDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE A COLD DAY...THOUGH THE WIND WILL SLACK
OFF CONSIDERABLY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN THE TENNESSEE RIVER
VALLEY TOWARD THE GULF COAST. HIGHS WILL STILL STRUGGLE TO BREAK OUT
OF THE 40S. EVEN THOUGH THE AIRMASS WILL BEGIN TO MODIFY BY TUESDAY
NIGHT...THE SURFACE RIDGE POSITION IN THE GFS AND EURO LOOK VERY
FAVORABLE FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD OF CALM WINDS OVERNIGHT...SO WE
COULD BE LOOKING WITH A WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING
WITH TEMPERATURES NEARLY AS COLD AS THOSE ON TUESDAY MORNING.

BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND BEYOND...THE WARMING TREND BEGINS WITH
THE OVERALL PATTERN ACROSS THE SOUTH SHIFTING TO A WARMER ONE AS THE
MID LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND SURFACE RIDGING MOVES TO
THE FLORIDA EAST COAST. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EURO AND GFS BECOME
SIGNIFICANT BY LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS LACK OF RUN TO RUN AND
MODEL TO MODEL CONSISTENCY MAKES THE FORECAST HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. THIS
CYCLE...THE GFS IS SHOWING A POTENTIAL FRONTAL PASSAGE BY SATURDAY
EVENING WITH COOLER AIR RETURNING. THIS WOULD SEEM TO MATCH WITH THE
EURO AND GFS STRENGTHENING RIDGING ACROSS THE ROCKIES (WHICH WOULD
LEAD TO AN AMPLIFICATION OF THE EAST COAST TROF)...BUT THIS IS A
FLIP FROM THE RUN 24 HOURS AGO...SO WILL OPT FOR A BLEND OF
PERSISTENCE AND THE LATEST MODEL PREDICTIONS.

&&

.MARINE...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL QUICKLY BUILD TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS OUT
AHEAD OF THE NEXT STRONG COLD FRONT BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THEN
BECOME SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE TO AROUND 25 KNOTS OVERNIGHT. ON
SUNDAY...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND
INCREASE TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO GALE FORCE POSSIBLE THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS AND SEAS WILL THEN ONLY GRADUALLY SUBSIDE ON
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THEREFORE WILL BEGIN A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
AT 1 AM EST THIS MORNING WHICH WILL BE VALID UNTIL 7 AM TUESDAY
MORNING. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT IF WINDS BECOME ANY STRONGER
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...A GALE WATCH OR WARNING MAY NEED TO BE
CONSIDERED FOR PART OF THE UPCOMING PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION....A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE TRI-STATE
AREA TODAY THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH CLOUDS ARE SPREADING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL GRADUALLY THICKEN AND
LOWER FROM WEST TO EAST...BECOMING A 12 TO 15 THOUSAND FOOT CEILING
EARLY TONIGHT. CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER OVERNIGHT TO 2 TO 3
THOUSAND FEET ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE EASTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT...ALONG WITH MVFR VISIBILITIES IN
SHOWERS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD RAPIDLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES
LATE TONIGHT...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS AND
BECOME QUITE GUSTY...SHIFTING TO WEST TO NORTHWEST AS THE FRONT
PASSES...AND INCREASING TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO
DECREASE ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY...WITH DECREASING CLOUDS FROM EAST TO WEST
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE TRI-STATE AREA DURING THE DAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A SMALL POCKET OF DRIER AIR HAS RESULTED IN THE
ISSUANCE OF A RED FLAG WARNING CALHOUN...GADSDEN...JACKSON AND
LIBERTY COUNTIES OF NORTHWEST FLORIDA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS
AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE BREEZY SUNDAY BUT MIN RH VALUES ARE FORECAST
TO REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. BESIDES...MOST OR ALL LOCATIONS
SHOULD RECEIVE SOME RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. RED FLAG
CONDITIONS RETURN TO THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

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...
A WEAKENING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OVER THE
REGION TODAY...WITH PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES THAT ARE
EXPECTED TO REBOUND INTO THE MIDDLE 60S BY THIS AFTERNOON.
TONIGHT...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH THE REGION
FROM THE NORTHWEST IN THE EVENING AND THEN WILL ACCELERATE
EASTWARD THROUGH THE TRI STATE AREA OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS...SOME WITH GUSTY WINDS...ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT...WILL THEN
TAPER OFF AND END FROM WEST TO EAST ON SUNDAY MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
AFTER THE SHOWERS COME TO AN END BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AN ARCTIC
AIR MASS WITH POSSIBLY THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON THUS FAR WILL
BE POISED TO RUSH INTO THE REGION ON GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. BY
MONDAY MORNING...IN ADDITION TO A LIKELY HARD FREEZE FOR ALMOST
ALL OF THE REGION...NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS WHICH ARE EXPECTED
TO RANGE FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS TO THE MIDDLE TEENS. IN FACT...WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE UPPER 30S TO THE MIDDLE 40S...
WIND CHILL READINGS WILL REMAIN IN THE 20S AND 30S THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE DAY DESPITE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. HARD FREEZES ARE ALSO
EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS AS WELL...BEFORE
TEMPERATURES FINALLY MODERATE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. IN FACT...
HIGH TEMPS ARE NOW EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE NORMAL ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...REACHING THE LOWER 70S IN MOST AREAS FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN MANY DAYS. TALLAHASSEE LAST HIT 70 DEGREES ON DECEMBER
FOURTH... BUT SOME AREAS HAVE NOT SEEN THE 70 DEGREE MARK SINCE
THE END OF NOVEMBER...SO THIS WARM UP WILL BE WELCOMED BY MANY WHO
HAVE ENDURED A VERY COLD BEGINNING TO THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
