AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
353 AM EST FRI JAN 8 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
THE 03 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A STRONG ARCTIC COLD
FRONT MOVING EAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST AL AND THE FL PANHANDLE. LOCAL
RADARS SHOWED A FRONTAL PRECIP BAND ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN VERY LIGHT (GENERALLY LESS THAN A TENTH
OF AN INCH). A FEW ASOS STATIONS IN SOUTHEAST AL AND THE FL
PANHANDLE HAVE REPORTED A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SLEET MIXED IN WITH
THE COLD RAIN ALONG THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP BAND (INCLUDING
KEVF...KTOI...KCEW...KDHN...AND KPFN SO FAR).

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY) THE ARCTIC FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIP
BAND WILL CONTINUE PROPAGATING RAPIDLY SOUTHEASTWARD THIS MORNING.
BASED ON RECENT OBSERVATIONS AND MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS...WE WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SLEET BRIEFLY
MIXING IN WITH THE LIGHT RAIN ALONG THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP
UNTIL THIS SYSTEM REACHES NORTH FL...WHERE IT WILL LIKELY BE TOO
WARM FOR ANY SLEET. BECAUSE ANY FROZEN PRECIP WILL BE EXTREMELY
LIGHT...BRIEF...AND SPOTTY...WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT
IMPACTS TO THE MORNING COMMUTE. WE ALSO EXPECT THAT FROZEN PUDDLES
ON THE ROADS ARE UNLIKELY DESPITE THE ARRIVAL OF FREEZING
TEMPERATURES BY SUNRISE FROM TALLAHASSEE NORTH AND WESTWARD. THE
RAIN WAS SO LIGHT THAT THE GUSTY AND DRY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
QUICKLY EVAPORATE WHAT MOISTURE REMAINS. THE PERIOD FROM TODAY
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING MAY FEEL LIKE THE COLDEST OF OUR RECENT (AND
LENGTHY) COLD SNAP. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 40 DEGREES
TODAY IN SOUTH GA...SOUTH AL...AND THE FL PANHANDLE. WIND CHILL
READINGS MAY NOT CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING IN THESE AREAS. A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THIS REGION...AND THIS ADVISORY
NEED TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER OUR ENTIRE REGION TONIGHT AS LOWS REACH
THE LOWER 20S WHILE WINDS REMAIN IN THE 5 TO 10 MPH RANGE. SATURDAY
AFTERNOON WILL BE NEARLY AS COLD AS THIS AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER HARD FREEZE SUNDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH NON-ZERO WIND SPEEDS
MAY PREVENT MAXIMUM COOLING TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT...THE VERY
COLD TEMPERATURES WILL AFFECT OUR AREA MORE UNIFORMLY THAN
NORMAL...AS OPPOSED TO A HARD FREEZE BEING LIMITED TO THE NORMALLY
COLDEST SITES AWAY FROM THE COAST AND CITIES. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN WELL BELOW AVERAGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES
REMAIN WELL BELOW FREEZING OVER OUR REGION.

.LONG TERM...
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) LOOKS LIKE A VERY COLD BEGINNING
FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL WARMUP THRU REST OF EXTENDED PERIOD. THE
GENERAL FLOW COMMENCES AMPLIFIED... HIGHLIGHTED BY A TROUGH JUST
OFF W COAST...NORTH AMERICAN RIDGE FROM W COAST TO PLAINS...TROUGH
OVER NRN GREAT LAKES AN ANOTHER FULL AMPLITUDE ERN TROUGH WITH
AXIS THAT HAS SHIFTED INTO THE ADJACENT WRN ATLC. SHORTWAVES
/CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ON DRY NW
FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE ERN TROUGH DEEPENING IT AND
REINFORCING SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR THAT DRIVES SWD DEEP INTO GULF OF
MEX AND SRN FL. SO THE PERIOD BEGINS WITH ARCTIC SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE YIELDING BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY.
ALSO...VERY LOW MID LEVEL HEIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LEVEL
TROF AND VERY LOW H85 TEMPS ARE BOTH AROUND 4 STANDARDIZED
DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL. EXPECT TO SEE RECORD LOWS AS FAR SOUTH AS
MIAMI. THIS OUTBREAK WILL APPROACH BUT NOT LIKELY REACH THE DEC
1989 AND POSSIBLY THE JAN 1977 COLD OUTBREAKS ACROSS FLORIDA.

THEN BY EARLY WORK WEEK...DEAMPLIFICATION OF LARGE SCALE PATTERN
AND MODIFICATION OF AIRMASS BEGINS. THE DEEP ERN TROUGH AND SFC LOW
PRESSURE MOVE FURTHER SEWD AND OFFSHORE AS STACKED RIDGING BEGINS TO
FURTHER BUILD OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST. AS THE SFC RIDGE
GRADUALLY SHIFTS ENE OF FL COAST THRU TUES...LOW LEVEL FLOW SHIFTS
TO ONSHORE WHILE UPPER FLOW SHIFTS TO WSW HERALDING A WARMING TREND.
SUN NIGHT WITH BE COLDEST WITH INLAND LOWS IN THE UPPER TEENS AND A
HARD FREEZE EXPECTED. LOWS WILL INCH UP TO THE LOW-MID 20S MON NIGHT
WITH POSSIBLE HARD FREEZE...THEN LOW 30S TUES NIGHT AND MID 30S WED
NIGHT AND MID-UPPER 30S THURS NIGHT. MAX TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO
"REBOUND" ON MONDAY AND TUES WITH MAX TEMPS CLIMBING TO THE MID
50S..THEN TO AROUND 60 ON WED AND INTO THE LOW 60S ON THURS.

AS FAR AS RAIN...MOISTURE INCREASES BY MIDWEEK AS UPPER LOW OVER THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY MOVES SLOWLY EASTWARD AND DEVELOPS A
LOW/WAVE IN THE WESTERN GULF BY WED. THIS LOW MOVES EAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF THRU END OF WORK WEEK WEAKENING ERN SURFACE HIGH AND
PUSHING IT INTO THE WRN ATLC. THIS EWD MOVEMENT WILL LIKELY DRAG A
FRONT ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA LATE WEEK. AHEAD OF THESE SYSTEMS SMALL
CHANCE OF PRECIP ON THURS ALTHO MORE LIKELY FOR DAY 8. SO WILL
INTRODUCE SMALL CHANCE OF PRECIP...ESPECIALLY WRN CWA LATE THURS.

&&

.AVIATION...
THRU 06Z SAT...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
GA/FL BIG BEND THROUGH THE REST OF OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRI
BRINGING INCREASING RAIN CHANCES...MAINLY LIGHT RAIN. THERE IS A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SLEET LATE THROUGH DAYBREAK ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE AREA...MNLY KDHN/KABY. AS THIS BOUNDARY MOVES
THROUGH...PERIODS WITH MVFR VSBYS/CIGS WITH LOCAL IFR CIGS ALONG
WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY BREEZY NE WINDS WILL BE EXPECTED BOTH
ALONG AND ESPECIALLY BEHIND FRONT. EXPECT THE RAIN TO DIMINISH
FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THROUGH THE DAY WITH MORE VERY DRY AND COLD
AIR FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST
BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGH THE DAY. SKIES WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM
W-E BY LATE AFTN.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS HAVE RAPIDLY INCREASED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AND
ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL SOON ENGULF OUR ENTIRE MARINE AREA. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ON AND OFF THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH HIGHER
WINDS AND SEAS LIKELY DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING
HOURS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY
BRINGING INCREASING RAIN CHANCES. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SLEET TOWARD
DAYBREAK ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. EXPECT ANY PRECIP TO QUICKLY
DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE DAY WITH VERY DRY AND COLD
AIR FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE. IN ADDITION TO THE COLD AIR FOLLOWING THE
FRONT...EXPECT SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 15 MPH WITH HIGHER
GUSTS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE APALACHICOLA RIVER AND THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. THE COMBINATION OF HIGHER WINDS/GUSTS WINDS AND LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL LEAD TO RED FLAG CONDITIONS OVER THE EASTERN
PANHANDLE AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA BIG BEND THIS AFTERNOON. ACROSS
THE ERN BIG BEND...SEVERAL HOURS OF CRITICAL RH VALUES ARE POSSIBLE
BUT WIND CRITERIA ARE NOT EXPECTED. IN THE WAKE OF FRONT A RETURN
TO A COLD AND DRY AIRMASS IS SLATED FOR SAT. RED FLAG HUMIDITIES ARE
EXPECTED FOR ALL OF NORTH FLORIDA ON SAT AND DISPERSIONS WILL BE
HIGH. A WATCH WILL BE ISSUED THERE THAT WILL LIKELY BE UPGRADED
LATER TODAY TO A WARNING. CONTINUED RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE
EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON INTO THE WORK WEEK ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA
DUE TO LONG DURATIONS OF VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
