.WITH A LARGE COLD DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST...NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING VERY COLD DRY AIR INTO THE REGION.
THIS WILL ALLOW DEWPOINTS TO FALL TO SINGLE DIGITS TODAY. THE
COMBINATION OF VERY LOW MOISTURE AND MODEST HIGH TEMPERATURES IN
THE MID TO UPPER 40S WILL ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO DROP TO
CRITICAL LEVELS. FOR THIS REASON...RED FLAG WARNINGS CONTINUE OVER
THE REGION TODAY AND HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
AS THE HIGH SLOWLY SHIFTS EASTWARD ON THURSDAY AND WINDS BEGIN TO
TURN SOUTHERLY...THE LOWER LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO MOISTEN UP A BIT
BUT A POTENT COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL REMOVE MUCH OF THE
MOISTURE AND ALLOW THE REGION TO SEE UNUSUALLY COLD AND DRY
CONDITIONS AGAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER ARCTIC AIRMASS
TAKES HOLD. A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR FRIDAY
AFTERNOON DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF CRITICALLY LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES. FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THE DRY AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
152 PM EST TUE JAN 5 2010

...COLD WEATHER TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...LARGE SCALE PATTERN
REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED TODAY WITH DEEP TROUGH OVER THE EAST
AND RIDGE OVER THE WEST. THE PATTERN CONTINUES TO BE LOCKED IN
PLACE BY THE DOWNSTREAM NEGATIVE NAO. SFC HIGH WILL SLIDE CLOSER
TO THE AREA TONIGHT WITH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN BETTER RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO COMPLETELY DECOUPLE. TEMPS SHOULD DROP A FEW
DEGREES LOWER THAN LAST NIGHT WITH UPPER TEENS TO AROUND 20
DEGREES BEING FORECAST. TEMPS WILL SLOWLY...REPEAT
SLOWLY...MODERATE THROUGHT THURSDAY. MAX TEMPS TO REACH MID AND
UPPER 40S WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE DROPPING INTO THE LOWER TO
MID 20S BY THURSDAY MORNING. THURSDAY MORNING LOW ARE A BIT TRICKY
WITH THE HIGH SETTLING DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER...EXPECT TO
SEE SOME HIGH CLOUDS BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE WHICH SHOULD HELP INHIBIT
RADIATIONAL COOLING.

SHORTWAVE WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT...INDUCING VERY WEAK GULF CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE
COLD FRONT. EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM THURSDAY
AFTERNOON TO AROUND MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. AT THIS TIME...THE LOW LEVELS APPEAR TO BE TOO WARM TO
SUPPORT ANY FROZEN PRECIP OVER THE CWA AND WILL FORECAST ALL RAIN.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...NOW ON TO THE RETURN TO
UNSEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM.
ANOTHER ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL QUICKLY SURGE INTO THE AREA. HIGHS ON
FRI AND SAT WILL BE QUITE COLD WITH UPPER 30S NW TO UPPER 40S SE.
HARD FREEZES ARE FORECAST FOR EACH NIGHT FROM FRI NIGHT THROUGH
MON NIGHT. SUN NIGHT LOOKS TO BE POSSIBLY THE COLDEST MORNING OF
THE ENTIRE STRETCH WITH THE ARCTIC HIGH FINALLY SETTLING RIGHT
OVER US. THIS WAS ONE OF THE FEW NIGHTS WE ACTUALLY WENT WITH THE
COLD MEX NUMBERS. BELIEVE GUIDANCE WAS A BIT TOO QUICK TO MODIFY
MIN TEMPS MON NIGHT WITH THE COLD HIGH STILL CENTERED OVER OUR ERN
ZONES. WE UNDERCUT MOS BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES FOR THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR ALL TERMINALS
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS GUSTS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTS TOMORROW WILL DECREASE A BIT TO 10 TO
15 KTS.

&&

.MARINE...MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT BEFORE
DIMINISHING WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
OVERHEAD. EXPECT A BRIEF PERIOD OF STRONG ONSHORE FLOW LATE
THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT BEFORE STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW KICKS IN THURSDAY NIGHT. NEAR ADVISORY CONDITIONS
LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE ARCTIC HIGH SETTLES IN
WEST OF THE WATERS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON
AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA DUE TO LONG
DURATIONS OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS. A
FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE BIG BEND OF FLORIDA ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PASS THROUGH THE
AREA ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND WILL REINFORCE THE DRY AIR THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
