AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
914 PM EDT THU APR 8 2010

.DISCUSSION...01 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE COLD FRONT IS JUST
NOW NEARING AN ALBANY TO BAINBRIDGE TO APALACHICOLA LINE. IN THE
LAST 30 MINUTES THERE HAS BEEN SOME INTENSIFICATION OF THE SHOWERS
AND STORMS RIGHT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA...BUT THIS HAS NOT EXTENDED MUCH INTO NORTH FLORIDA. BASED
ON THE OBSERVATIONS OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO HAVE TRIMMED THE
TORNADO WATCH BACK TO ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN FLORIDA BIG BEND AS WELL AS AREAS IN GEORGIA ALONG AND
SOUTHEAST OF THE FLINT RIVER.

UPPER AIR DATA FROM 00 UTC SHOWS THE ATMOSPHERE IS RELATIVELY
UNSTABLE WITH A SURFACE PARCEL OF 69/67 YIELDING AROUND 1650 J/KG OF
CAPE. VAPOR IMAGERY AND 500 MB DATA DOES SHOW THE MAIN TROF AXIS
NEARING THE REGION AND MUCH DRIER AIR SURGING IN ALOFT. THIS WILL
HELP (ALONG WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE FRONT) TO BRING OUR
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO AN END THIS EVENING.

HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST THIS EVENING TO SHOW A QUICKER END TO POPS
IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE REGION AND TAPERING DOWN SLOWLY IN THE
EAST. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK WITH NO OTHER
CHANGES NEEDED.

&&

.AVIATION...THE PRE FRONTAL SQUALL LINE THAT PROVIDED THE REGION
WITH A FAIR DOSE OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL CLEAR
KVLD A COUPLE HOURS AFTER SUNSET. BEHIND THIS LINE A SCATTERED TO
BROKEN MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION FOR THE FIRST
PART OF THE EVENING. KABY AND KVLD MAY SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR
CIGS IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME WRAP AROUND
CLOUD COVER ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE FRONT. BY SUNRISE...ALL LOCATIONS
WILL RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS UNDER CLEAR SKIES. WINDS ARE FORECAST
TO BE SUSTAINED OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH GUSTS NEAR
20 KNOTS IN SOME LOCATIONS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS HAVE BUILT TO NEAR CAUTIONARY LEVELS THIS
EVENING. WINDS AND SEAS MAY BUILD SLIGHTLY MORE OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...BUT AT THIS TIME DO NOT ANTICIPATE ADVISORY CONDITIONS
TO BE REACHED...THOUGH WINDS MAY BRIEFLY GUST ABOVE 20 KNOTS JUST
BEFORE SUNRISE ON FRIDAY.
