AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
345 PM EST SAT JAN 2 2010

...LITTLE CHANGE TO REPORT AS THE WELL ADVERTISED VERY COLD PATTERN
IS SETTING UP WITH MULTIPLE HARD FREEZES POSSIBLE BEGINNING TONIGHT
AND CONTINUING THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING...

.SYNOPSIS...AS WAS EXPECTED...WE BEGAN WITH A CLEAR AND COLD START
ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING...AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FCST OF A
LIGHT FREEZE WHICH WAS ISSUED LAST NIGHT...WAS JUST ABLE TO MEET THE
NECESSARY DURATION REQUIREMENTS ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF SE AL AND
SW AND SC GA BY A HAIR. OVER THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE...
MANY SITES STAYED ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK...WITH THE TLH AIRPORT
JUST HITTING A LOW OF 32. PERRY (40J)...ON THE OTHER HAND DID DROP
TO 30 AND APPEARS TO HAVE JUST MADE THE 2 HR DURATION LIGHT FREEZE
REQUIREMENT...AND EVEN CROSS CITY (CTY) DID BRIEFLY DIP TO 30...BUT
DID NOT QUITE REMAIN COLD FOR LONG ENOUGH TO VERIFY. OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS...WINDS ARE NOW AT SCEC LEVELS AND SHOULD REMAIN THERE
TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...ALTHOUGH IT MAY END
UP BEING A VERY CLOSE CALL WITH NOT THE MOST IDEAL SFC RIDGE
POSITION OR 850 MB TEMPS FROM EITHER THE GFS OR ECMWF...HAVE DECIDED
TO STICK WITH A LOW END HARD FREEZE WARNING FOR THE INTERIOR
TONIGHT...WITH A LIGHT FREEZE NEAR THE COAST. ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY LIGHT..IF THE LOW TEMPERATURES DO DROP INTO
THE MID 20S AS EXPECTED...WIND CHILLS COULD FALL INTO THE LOWER 20S
OR PERHAPS EVEN A FEW DEGREES LOWER IN SOME LOCATIONS. BOTH SUNDAY
AND MONDAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY AND VERY CHILLY DAYS FOR THIS OR
ANY TIME OF YEAR WITH HIGHS NOT EXPECTED TO GET OUT OF THE 40S EACH
DAY. THIS SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR ADDITIONAL HARD FREEZES WHICH ARE
CURRENTLY TRENDING EVEN COLDER THAN TONIGHT. TUESDAY MORNING COULD
BE ESPECIALLY COLD WITH LOWS POSSIBLY REACHING THE UPPER TEENS TO
AROUND 20 OVER MUCH OF THE INTERIOR AND EVEN DOWN TO THE MID 20S
NEAR THE COAST (WHICH WOULD LIKELY BE THE FIRST HARD FREEZE OF THE
SEASON TO AFFECT THESE LOCATIONS. FOR REFERENCE...THE PREVIOUS SHIFT
INCLUDED SELECTED RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS
BEGINNING ON TUESDAY MORNING WHICH COULD BE POSSIBLY BE IN
JEOPARDY.

SELECTED RECORD LOW TEMPS FOR JANUARY 3RD-5TH ARE INCLUDED BELOW.

.LONG TERM...MON NIGHT THROUGH SAT.
THE 02/00Z GFS AND GEFS AS WELL AS THE 01/12Z EURO CONTINUE TO
DEPICT A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN ALOFT...WITH A RIDGE AXIS NEAR THE
PACIFIC COAST AND TROUGH AXIS ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD MON NIGHT
AND TUE. POTENT SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIVING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA
WED WILL REAMPLIFY THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN 2/3 OF THE
NATION THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

BOTH THE GFS AND GEFS SHOW THE ARCTIC SURFACE RIDGE FROM MN
SOUTHWARD TO TX TUE MORNING...THEN WEAKENING AS IT GRADUALLY SHIFTS
EASTWARD ACROSS THE OH/TN VALLEYS AND SOUTHEAST TUE NIGHT AND WED.
WITH THE DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE AND NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...HARD
FREEZES ARE A GOOD BET MON AND TUE NIGHT AREAWIDE (NEAR RECORD COLD
FOR SOME LOCALES)...AND WED NIGHT FOR THE EASTERN CWA. THE 02/00Z
MEX MIN TEMP WED MORNING FOR TLH IS 10. NOT CONFIDENT TO FORECAST
THAT LOW...AND WILL STICK WITH THE GRIDDED MOS FOR TEMPS. WITH THE
SURFACE RIDGE FINALLY SLIDING EAST DURING THE DAY ON WED...EAST TO
SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO MODERATE...BUT REMAIN AT LEAST 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS WED MORNING TREKS EAST ACROSS THE MIDDLE MS VALLEY AND OH
VALLEY...REACHING THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST THU NIGHT WITH ITS TRAILING
COLD FRONT SWEEPING EAST THROUGH THE CWA. MOST OF THE LIFT AND
MOISTURE WILL THIS LATE WEEK SYSTEM WILL PASS JUST NORTH OF THE CWA.
THE EURO AND GFS INDICATE A SECOND AREA OF LIFT AND MOISTURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF ON THE TAIL END OF THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY. QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE LIGHT AND RELEGATED
TO THE MARINE AREA. BIG QUESTION IS PRECIP TYPE...AND EXACT TIMING
WILL DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S LIQUID OR A WINTRY MIX. DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WILL KEEP POPS
20 PERCENT OR LESS. IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...A STRONGER DOME
(1048 MB) OF ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE PLUNGES SOUTH INTO THE PLAINS FOR
THU AND FRI BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE MS VALLEY...
USHERING IN COLDER AND MUCH DRIER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN WITH SCEC CONDITIONS
AT NIGHT...THEN DROPPING JUST BELOW DURING THE DAY. THEREAFTER...WE
MAY SEE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF CAUTIONARY TO POSSIBLE ADVISORY LEVEL
CONDITIONS ENTER INTO THE PICTURE FROM MONDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING DEPENDING ON HOW STRONG THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BECOMES.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEKEND WITH A FEW HIGH CIRRUS CLOUDS FILTERING INTO THE REGION BY
SUNDAY. GUSTY N-NW WINDS ARE CURRENTLY MIXING DOWN TO THE SFC AT
ALL TERMINALS...AND CAN BE EXPECTED TO PERSIST UNTIL DUSK. WIND
SHEAR SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE GUSTS. WINDS SHOULD DROP
OFF SIGNIFICANTLY AND BECOME LIGHT BY THE EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WX...A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 00Z THIS
EVENING FOR ALL FLORIDA ZONES DUE TO RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FALLING
BELOW 35 PERCENT FOR LONG DURATIONS. FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND...
DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO NOSE DIVE INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS DURING
THE DAY ON SUNDAY. THESE LOW DEW POINTS COUPLED WITH TEMPERATURES
BARELY CLIMBING INTO THE MID 40S ACROSS THE REGION WILL PRODUCE LONG
DURATIONS OF VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE PROJECTED TO FALL INTO THE TEENS ON
SUNDAY AND LOW 20S ACROSS THE REGION ON MONDAY. THEREFORE...A RED
FLAG WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR SUNDAY FROM MID MORNING THROUGH
EARLY EVENING...AND A FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR MONDAY.
