Severe Thunderstorm Warning 182, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
336 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE 16 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
OVER SOUTH FL AND THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO...AND A QUASI-
STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS NORTH GA AND NORTH AL. LOCAL RADARS SHOWED
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AND THESE WILL
LIKELY LINGER UNTIL THIS EVENING. VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR DATA
SHOWED OUR FORECAST AREA UNDER A COL...WITH HIGH PRESSURE CELLS TO
OUR NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST...AND TROUGHS TO OUR NORTHEAST AND
SOUTHWEST. PRECIP WATER IMAGERY SHOWED VALUES ABOUT 30 PERCENT
ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY) BY TUESDAY A 500 MB HIGH IS FORECAST TO
BE CENTERED OVER THE TN VALLEY. DESPITE THESE BUILDING HEIGHTS
OVER THE SOUTHEAST...OUR FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN IN A FAIRLY
MOIST ZONE WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES REMAINING AROUND 2 INCHES OR
HIGHER. SUCH DEEP MOISTURE...WHEN COMBINED WITH CONDITIONAL
INSTABILITY AND AND FORCING...IS USUALLY CONDUCIVE FOR ABOVE-
AVERAGE POPS FOR OUR AREA THIS TIME OF YEAR. MUCH OF THE FORCING
WILL COME FROM MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES (I.E. THE SEA BREEZE FRONTS
THAT DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON)...BUT THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT A
MID LEVEL VORT MAX (AND ACCOMPANYING ENHANCED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE)
WILL CIRCLE AROUND THE HIGH TO OUR NORTH AND AFFECT OUR REGION
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THIS COULD FURTHER ENHANCE THE RAIN
CHANCES...EVEN OVERNIGHT. SOME DRYING MAY COME IN FROM THE EAST
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH IS WHY WE WILL KEEP THE POP NEAR
CLIMATOLOGY FOR THAT DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
AVERAGE...BUT JUST HOW MUCH WILL DEPEND ON EACH FORECAST POINT AND
WHETHER OR NOT THAT POINT GETS CLOUDS AND RAIN OR NOT. THE OVERALL
MOIST...TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT FORECAST THROUGH TUESDAY IS USUALLY
NOT AS CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS WHAT WE SAW
FREQUENTLY DURING THE LAST FEW WEEKS IN JUNE.

.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY) THE FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRENDS.
THE GFS AND EURO REMAIN IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE LARGE
SCALE PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS IS TRANSITIONING TO ONE WITH A MEAN
TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST... ANOTHER OFF THE EAST COAST...AND A
BROAD RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE CAROLINAS...
CENTERED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE PATTERN IS FORECAST TO
BECOME ABNORMALLY AMPLIFIED FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR DURING THE
COMING WEEK...AS A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE DIGS INTO THE MEAN TROUGH
ALONG THE WEST COAST...AND THE RIDGE SHARPENS AND BECOMES CENTERED
OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
EXPECT A PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY COMPONENT WILL MAINTAIN
SIGNIFICANT DEEP LAYER TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE
AREA...PROVIDING FUEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...AS STRONG DAYTIME HEATING CONTINUES AND THE
SEABREEZE PUSHES INLAND EACH DAY. THE IMPACT OF THE UNSEASONABLY
AMPLIFIED PATTERN ON THE TRI-STATE AREA IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...WHEN A STRONG SHORT WAVE DROPS INTO
THE MEAN TROUGH OFF THE EAST COAST...AND PUSHES A COLD FRONT SOUTH
AND WEST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS INTO GEORGIA. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE AN
ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WITH THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE DOMINATING
THE AREA...TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR
MUCH OF THE WEEK...AND THE COMBINATION OF HOT AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES AND RELATIVELY HIGH HUMIDITIES WILL RESULT IN HIGHER
THAN NORMAL HEAT INDICES THAT WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED.
INCREASED CLOUDS AND SHOWERS TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK SHOULD
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO TREND DOWNWARD A BIT TOWARD MORE NORMAL
VALUES. EXPECT POPS TO REMAIN NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS FOR MOST
OF THE WEEK...THEN INCREASE SOME BY THE END OF THE WEEK...AS THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION
OCCASIONALLY REDUCING CONDITIONS TO IFR LEVELS AT THE TERMINALS.
GUSTY WINDS UP TO 35KT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH 01Z.
THEREAFTER...EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH. WITH DEBRIS CLOUDINESS
ALSO EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY MORNING...MVFR VSBYS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT TLH/VLD/ECP BEFORE SUNRISE. VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL BY 13Z WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TSRA
DEVELOPING NEAR ECP BY 14Z. OTHER TERMINALS SHOULD REMAIN PRECIP
FREE UNTIL AFTER 18Z...SO NO MENTION OF STORMS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...
A SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS WELL INTO THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK...PROVIDING THE
REGION WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE...MAINLY IN THE OVERNIGHT AND MORNING
HOURS. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS CAN
DEVELOP OVER THE WARM WATERS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE NEW WORK WEEK.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY MAY MAKE SOME DENT
INTO THE RECENT DROUGHT.

GOOD CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE STORMS. HOWEVER...NO
ORGANIZED OR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
THE COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 90S AND HIGH
