Tornado Warning 9, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
305 PM EST SUN JAN 24 2010

CORRECTED HYDRO DISCUSSION.

.SYNOPSIS...A LARGE AND COMPLEX UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER THE UPPER PLAINS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...
WITH WITH A NOW 986 MB SFC LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.
THIS WELL FCST LOW IS PROJECTED TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY STRENGTHEN AS
IT MOVES N-NW INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
CLOSER TO HOME...A FAIRLY WELL ORGANIZED LINE OF CONVECTION HAS
DEVELOPED WELL OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THIS LOW...WHICH IS WELL
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT NOW APPROACHING THE MS RIVER. THIS LINE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS IS STEADILY PUSHING EASTWARD AS THE INDIVIDUAL
CELLS HEAD NE AT 30 TO 35 MPH....AND A FEW OF THE CELLS ARE NOW
BEGINNING TO ENTER WESTERNMOST PORTIONS O9F THE CWA...BUT THUS
FAR...MOST ARE NEARLY DEVOID OF CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AS OF 12
PM EST. HOWEVER...THE LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILES REMAIN QUITE STRONG
WITH WINDS GUSTING TO 30 MPH ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA....AND SOME OF
THESE HEAVIER SHOWERS TO OUR WEST HAVE PRODUCED PEAK WIND GUSTS
BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MPH. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...SOLID SCA
CONDITIONS HAVE ARE COVERING THE WATERS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
S-SE WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...STILL KEEPING AN EYE
TO THE WEST AS A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ROUGHLY THE NW
1/3 OF THE CWA UNTIL 6 PM EST...ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT SHOWERS AND STORMS
DO NOT LOOK TOO STRONG AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...
THE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS ARE STILL QUITE STRONG...SO SOME OF THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE STORMS COULD STILL PRODUCE WIND GUSTS
NEAR OR AT OR SEVERE LIMITS THIS EVENING...SO WITH SFC DEWPOINTS
SURGING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S...WE DO NOT WANT TO LET OUR GUARD
DOWN JUST YET. AS FOR THE FLOOD WATCH...HOWEVER...WILL GO AHEAD AND
CANCEL IT AT THIS TIME AS IT NO LONGER APPEARS ANYMORE THAT
WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF GREATER THAN ONE INCH APPEAR LIKELY AT THIS
TIME. THIS AMOUNT OF RAINFALL SHOULD NOT CAUSE TOO MUCH ADDITIONAL
STRESS ON AREA RIVERS...WHICH SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SLOWLY SUBSIDE
FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK WHICH IS NOW PROGGED TO BE GENERALLY
DRY UNTIL FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND)...
IN THE WAKE OF SUNDAY NIGHTS STORM SYSTEM...THE LARGE SCALE CONUS
PATTERN SHOWS A PRONOUNCED DEAMPLIFICATION TO COMMENCE THE PERIOD.
THIS HIGHLIGHTED BY TROUGH ACROSS WRN MOST CONUS AND A BROAD TROUGH
EXITING NEWD INTO WRN ATLC. AS A RESULT...ACROSS REST OF CONUS WE
SEE A SHIFT FROM NWLY TO ZONAL FLOW. THIS AIDED BY FACT THAT EARLY
WEEK ARCTIC SHORTWAVE  TURNED ENERGY EWD ACROSS THE NRN GREAT LAKES
RATHER THAN DROPPING IT S INTO THE OH VLY AS GFS SHOWED. WITH
ASSOCIATED COLD POOL/AND CAA ALSO MOVING OFFSHORE...LOCAL TEMPS WILL
BEGIN TO MODERATE BACK TO NEAR NORMAL. AT SURFACE...LARGE AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH LATE WED. WITH THE
ARCTIC AIRMASS SHIFTING EWD...WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING THE FRIGID
TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED EARLIER IN THE MONTH. STILL...A LIGHT
RADIATION FREEZE IS POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT (DEPENDING ON THE
EVENTUAL SURFACE RIDGE POSITION).

DOMINANT ZONAL FLOW DURING INITIAL EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE BRIEF. ON
WED...SRN STREAM BECOMES MORE ACTIVE AS WRN TROUGH MOVES RAPIDLY
EWD. ASSOCD SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE SW CONUS EVENTUALLY REACHING
ERN CONUS AND DEVELOPING ANOTHER TROUGH THERE BY SATURDAY. IT WILL
ALSO INDUCE A SURFACE LOW OVER SW TX LATE THAT TRACKS ACROSS THE
GULF COAST DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS NE GULF ON FRI. IN
RESPONSE...LOCAL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND
GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTHEAST OF REGION ON THURS WITH LOCAL WINDS
VEERING. THUS WE SHOULD CONTINUE DRY BUT WITH A FURTHER SLIGHT
WARMING TREND.

THIS LOW COULD TAP GULF MOISTURE AND BECOME AN IMPORTANT RAIN
PRODUCER THRU FRI. TEMPS RISE FURTHER INTO FRIDAY AS WINDS VEER
TO S/SW AS COLD FRONT MOVES RAPIDLY EWD WITH ASSOCD PRECIP SPREADING
ACROSS NRN GULF. MODEL DIFFERENCES LESS THAN 24 HRS AGO BUT STILL
NOTICEABLE. FASTER AND STRONGER GFS BRINGS RAIN EARLY ON FRI
AND ECMWF WHICH SHEARS AND WEAKENS SHORTWAVE HOLDS OFF RAIN UNTIL
LATER ON FRI. THIS FAR OUT ECMWF USUALLY PERFORMS BETTER WITH
TIMING OF LOWS/FRONTS/ RAIN AND GIVEN DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY...WILL
LEAN TOWARDS THIS MODEL AND HOLD OFF ON HIGHEST POPS UNTIL LATER ON
FRI. IN WAKE OF FRONT...COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WITH LIGHT FREEZE
POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT.

INLAND MIN TEMPS WILL SHOW LOW TO MID 30S TUES NIGHT RISING TO MID
TO UPPER 30S WED NIGHT...AROUND 50 THU NIGHT AHEAD OF FRONT...THEN
IN WAKE OF FRONT LOW TO MID 40S FRI NIGHT AND AROUND FREEZING SAT
NIGHT NIGHTS. MAX TEMPS LOW TO MID 60S WED...MID 60S ON THURS AND
FRI...THEN DROPPING TO MID TO UPPER 50S IN WAKE OF FRONT ON SAT.
POPS NIL UNTIL MORN WHEN WILL INTRODUCE MID SCT POPS FRI..LOW SCT
FRI NIGHT INTO SAT. POPS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN EURO BUT SOMEWHAT
LOWER THAN FASTER GFS.

&&

.MARINE...WITH SOMEWHAT STRONGER NW WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
LINGERING INTO MONDAY...HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY UNTIL 18 UTC. ALSO...WITH LINGERING S-SW SWELLS FROM THE
LONG GULF OF MEXICO FETCH...HAVE EXTENDED THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY
UNTIL 18 UTC MONDAY AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...(THROUGH 18Z MONDAY)...WIDESPREAD LOW CIGS CONTINUE
ACROSS THE CWA WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AT MOST LOCATIONS AND IFR/LIFR
AT TLH AND PFN. EXPECT MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE PERIOD WITH SCT SHRA AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LINE OF TSRA. THIS
LINE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND IMPACT WESTERN TERMINALS BY
LATE  AFTERNOON. A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS. CIGS/VSBYS MAY DROP TO LIFR LEVELS IN AND AROUND
TSRA THROUGH THE EVENING. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KT WILL
PREVAIL WITH GUSTS TO 25 TO 30 KT POSSIBLE AHEAD OF AND WITHIN THE
LINE OF STORMS. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES LATER TONIGHT...EXPECT CIGS TO
REMAIN IN THE MVFR CATEGORY THROUGH EARLY MORNING WHEN VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. VFR SKIES WILL THEN PREVAIL THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF CYCLE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRIER WX WILL BE ON THE WAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...
BUT CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE DRY ENOUGH TO PRODUCE POSSIBLE
RED FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS THE FL BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE UNTIL
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...WITH THE HEAVIER RAINFALL NOW FOCUSED TO THE NORTH OF
THE HSA...RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS EVENT HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO
AROUND ONE INCH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER
STORMS.

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 BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO ENTER WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT...THEN MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SOME OF THESE
STORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH EMBEDDED BOWING
SEGMENTS. LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND INSTABILITY PROFILES ALSO SUGGEST
THE RISK FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES ALONG THE LINE OF STORMS. THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS OUTLOOKED OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA IN
A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY AND TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL END ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING AND THEN PUSH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS AND SEAS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH TONIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
BECOME SOUTHWEST LATER TODAY. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT WEST AND
NORTHWEST WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT AND EARLY
MONDAY MORNING.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT. STRONG
ONSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT IN RISING SURF HEIGHTS ALONG THE BEACHES
OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND WESTERN BIG BEND. SURF HEIGHTS WILL
RISE THROUGH THIS MORNING AND PEAK DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. SURF HEIGHTS WILL PEAK BETWEEN 7 AND 8 FEET ALONG
THE BEACHES OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BETWEEN 6 AND 7 FEET
ALONG SAINT GEORGE ISLAND...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN FACING SHORELINE.

WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS EVENT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE
BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES. HOWEVER...THE NATURE OF CONVECTION SUGGEST
THAT LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME...THE
PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM SUGGESTS THAT THE AREAL COVERAGE
OF THESE HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE LIMITED. EVEN STILL...THE RAINFALL
SITUATION WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY...AS MANY LOCAL RIVERS
ARE ALREADY AT OR NEAR FLOOD STAGE AFTER THE RAINFALL EARLIER IN
THE WEEK.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

RESIDUAL WAVES WILL BE SLOW TO DIMINISH ON MONDAY WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS LIKELY LINGERING THROUGH MORNING HOURS...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS. ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF
NEAR ADVISORY LEVEL OFFSHORE WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING WITH THE PASSAGE OF A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT. THIS ROUND OF ELEVATED WINDS SHOULD BE BRIEF WITH WINDS AND
SEAS DECREASING LATER IN THE DAY.

AREAS ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHERN ZONES...MAINLY NORTH OF DOTHAN AND
ALBANY MAY BRIEFLY APPROACH FREEZING LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS A COLDER
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES NEARBY FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...A BETTER CHANCE EXISTS FOR
NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST TO SEE A LIGHT
FREEZE AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE LIGHTER
WINDS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A BETTER CHANCE AT AREAS OF FROST.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR A ROUND OF SHOWER AND STORMS WILL NOT ARRIVE
UNTIL LATE IN THE WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SWINGS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH
THIS EVENING.
