38-GODSEYWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 26, 3:54 PM EDT, 2 hours 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 3:54 PM EDT, 2 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 354 PM EDT SAT MAR 26 2011 .SYNOPSIS... THE 19 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WAVY...QUASI- STATIONARY FRONT FROM FROM A 1002 MB LOW NEAR TEXARKANA EASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL AL AND GA. REGIONAL RADARS SHOWED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING ISOLATED SUPERCELLS...ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND TO THE SOUTH WITHIN THE BROAD WARM SECTOR. THERE WERE EVEN A FEW CLASSIC SUPER CELLS OVER OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON THAT PRODUCED LARGE HAIL...THOUGH RECENT RADAR DATA DO NOT SHOW MUCH FOR OUR AREA. BECAUSE OF UNIMPRESSIVE LOW LAYER WIND SHEAR MAGNITUDES...WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY TORNADIC SUPER CELLS. VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR DATA SHOWED A FAST ZONAL FLOW PATTERN OVER MUCH OF THE CONUS...WITH SEVERAL SUBTLE SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE FAST WESTERLIES. ONE SUCH WAVE APPEARED TO BE JUST NORTHWEST OF OUR FORECAST AREA...AND MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN ENHANCING STORM DEVELOPMENT EARLIER. && .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY) THE LARGE SCALE FAST ZONAL FLOW PATTERN WILL HELP PREVENT THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL SYSTEM FROM MOVING SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY. EMBEDDED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL INTERACT WITH THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM TO PRODUCE A SERIES OF FRONTAL WAVES...WHICH WILL COINCIDE WITH MORE ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PERIODS AS WELL AS MOVING THE FRONT ALONG IN FITS AND STARTS. THIS WILL MAKE THE DETAILS OF THIS FORECAST DIFFICULT BEYOND THE VERY NEAR TERM. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THERE WILL BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY AN INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY AS THE FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. LIKE TODAY...WE EXPECT A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO THE FAVORABLE COMBINATION OF DEEP LAYER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITY. UNLIKE TODAY...THE COLD FRONT...THOUGH WEAKENING...MAY ACTUALLY SERVE AS A MORE CLEARLY DEFINED FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL...AS 0-1 KM VERTICAL WIND SHEAR MAGNITUDES APPEAR RATHER LOW (GENERALLY 20 KT OR LESS). BECAUSE THE MODELS NO LONGER BRING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS MAY LAST INTO MONDAY. WE DID NOT YET MENTION THIS POTENTIAL IN OUR FORECASTS BECAUSE MUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING AND POSITIONING OF UPSTREAM SHORT WAVES...AND CONFIDENCE IN SUCH DETAILS THAT FAR OUT IS LACKING RIGHT NOW. SUFFICE TO SAY...RESIDENTS IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR MULTIPLE PERIODS WHEN ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. .LONG TERM... (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY) THE EXTENDED FORECAST REMAINS TRICKY AS SIGNIFICANT FORECAST SPREAD REMAINS IN MODEL SUITE. THE LARGE SCALE CONUS PATTERN COMMENCES WITH TROUGH OVER NRN ROCKIES/PLAINS WITH LOW OVER WRN NE...AND WEAK TROUGHING SWWD TO 4 CORNERS AREA. RIDGING EXISTS EWD TO EAST COAST WITH TROUGHING ALONG EXTREME WRN ATLC. AT SURFACE...LOW OVER NW NEB AND ANOTHER LOW OVER ARK WITH WARM FRONT SEWD ACROSS NRN GULF AND COLD FRONT WSW ACROSS N TX. DURING REST OF EXTENDED...MOST GUIDANCE AGREES UPON THE EVOLUTION TOWARD A FAIRLY AMPLIFIED MEAN TROF OVER THE ERN CONUS BY 00Z FRI WITH AXIS FROM ERN GREAT LAKES SSW THRU ERN GULF...THEN OFF ERN SEABOARD BY 12Z FRI....TRAILED BY A MEAN RIDGE BUILDING IN UPSTREAM. ASSOCD LOW LIFTING NEWD TO SRN GREAT LAKES BY 06Z WED THEN OPENING UP INTO WAVE OVER NRN GREAT LAKES BY 18Z WED LARGELY DISSIPATING OVER SRN ONTARIO BY 18Z THU. AT SURFACE BY 12Z WED...ANOTHER LOW FORMS INVCNTY VA WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT SWWD ACROSS WRN PANHANDLE THE WSW ACROSS GULF. RECENT GFS/ECMWF RUNS DEPICTING IMPULSES RIDING UP BASE OF TROUGH HELPING TO DEVELOP STRONG SURFACE LOWS AND MODELS SEEM TO CONCUR THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS ON THURS. BY 18Z THU...ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH..PUSHES FRONT TO EXTREME NRN GULF. ABSENT RETREATING UPPER SUPPORT..STEERING FLOW BECOMES PARALLEL TO FRONT WHICH STALLS. SEVERAL IMPULSES TRAVEL EWD ACROSS FRONT AND KEEPS LOCAL REGION TO CLOSE ENOUGH FOR SCT CONVECTION UNTIL THURS NIGHT (ECMWF) AND WHEN IMPULSE FINALLY KICKS FRONT SOUTH OF AREA WITH MUCH DRIER NW FLOW ADVANCING IN ITS WAKE. GFS MORE BULLISH KEEPING MOISTURE IN AREA INTO FRI. AGAIN MODELS REMAIN FAR ENOUGH APART SO CONFIDENCE LEVEL NOT HIGH AND WILL BLEND BOTH DAY 6-7. WILL GO WITH WDLY SCT POPS MON NIGHT INCREASING TO SCT TUES THEN HI SCT-LO LIKELY POPS TUES THRU WED THEN LO SCT WED NIGHT-FRI. WITH AMPLE CLOUDS COVER/RAIN AND VEERING WINDS AHEAD AND ALONG OF FRONTAL SYSTEM...MIN TEMPS WILL REMAIN AROUND 10-12 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO (INLAND MIN CLIMO AROUND 49 DEGREES) MON-WED NIGHTS AND 6-9 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO THURS NIGHT. MAX TEMPS WILL BE AROUND CLIMO TUE-THURS THEN IN WAKE OF FRONT AND 5-8 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO ON FRI. (INLAND MAX CLIMO AROUND 76 DEGREES). && .AVIATION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE TRI STATE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A FEW STORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACCOMPANIED BY MVFR TO LOCAL IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN ALABAMA AND GEORGIA CONTINUES TO PUSH SLOWLY SOUTHWARD. THE GREATEST THREAT OF STRONG STORMS WITH HAIL WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACROSS ALABAMA AND GEORGIA. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET. WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXPECT A REPEAT OF WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBLITIES DEVELOPING AGAIN TONIGHT...WITH AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND. && .MARINE... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...THEN TEMPORARILY STALL ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE ON MONDAY. THIS FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE SOUTH OF THE COASTAL WATERS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM INTERACTING WITH MULTIPLE FRONTAL WAVES. && .FIRE WEATHER... NO RED FLAG CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH...AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL PRODUCE PERIODS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME WETTING RAINS. WIDESPREAD FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP AGAIN TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
