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 27, 3:37 PM EDT, 2 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 3:37 PM EDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 337 PM EDT SUN MAR 27 2011 .SYNOPSIS... THE 19 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT...PROBABLY MIXED WITH OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER THUNDERSTORMS...ROUGHLY FROM SAVANNAH GA...THROUGH TROY AL...AND WESTWARD TO THE TEXAS COAST. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SEVERAL OF THEM SEVERE AT TIMES...HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES SLOWLY SOUTH. LOCAL RADARS WERE LIT UP WITH CELLS SHOWING VERY HIGH REFLECTIVITY VALUES ABOVE THE FREEZING LEVEL...INDICATIVE OF LARGE HAIL. LIKE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL...WHICH IS RARE FOR THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. THE ONE BIT OF GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE LATEST VAD WIND PROFILER DATA AND RUC FORECASTS SHOW 0-6 KM VERTICAL WIND SHEAR VALUES AROUND 40 KT...WHICH IS A BIT LOWER THAN THE 50 KT VALUES OBSERVED YESTERDAY. THE 0-1 KM VERTICAL SHEAR VALUES WERE GENERALLY AROUND 15 KT. THUS WE HAVE NOT SEEN AS STRONG OF ROTATION AS WAS OBSERVED SATURDAY...AND WE EXPECT LARGE HAIL TO BE THE MAIN THREAT...WITH MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND OR A BRIEF TORNADO LESS LIKELY. && .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...BUT THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WILL PROBABLY DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA MONDAY...THEN STALL TO OUR SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT WILL BE WEAKENING MONDAY...THERE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...FORCING...AND SBCAPE TO SUPPORT ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY IN FL. THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE LARGE HAIL...THOUGH PERHAPS NOT AS LARGE AS TODAY OR SATURDAY. THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE RATHER COMPLEX THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS A SERIES OF SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTERACT WITH THE STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE GULF COAST. RAIN CHANCES WILL OSCILLATE BACK AND FORTH WITH EACH PASSING DISTURBANCE. ON WEDNESDAY A MORE SUBSTANTIAL UPPER LEVEL TROUGH (AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT) WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST...BRINGING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE WHOLE REGION. .LONG TERM... (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY) AT LEAST VERY LITTLE HAS CHANGED DURING THE PAST FEW MODEL CYCLES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF FOR THE WED INTO THU TIME FRAME...AS THEY REMAIN IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH AN AMPLIFYING UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. THIS SHORTWAVE MAY PRODUCE A POTENTIALLY STRONG SFC REFLECTION AND LIKELY ANOTHER ROUND OR 2 OF MORE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ACROSS THE CWA (IN ADDITION TO AT LEAST SOME WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS). THEREAFTER...THE 00 UTC GFS AND THE OLDER 12 UTC ECMWF SOLUTIONS ALMOST COMPLETELY DIVERGE...AS THE GFS IS NOW AMPLIFYING THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN AT AN EXTREME LEVEL...WHICH EVENTUALLY CUTS OFF AN UPPER LOW OVER TX LATER ON THU...BEFORE DROPPING IT INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO ON FRIDAY...THEN FINALLY TAKING ITS SFC REFLECTION RIGHT OVER THE CWA ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS SOLUTION WOULD KEEP A VERY WET WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION INTO SATURDAY MORNING...BEFORE CONDITIONS FINALLY CLEAR OUT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF...ON THE OTHER HAND...BRINGS A SMALL BUT HIGHLY AMPLIFIED TROF THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST U.S. BY THE END OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY...WITH MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS AND NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES DOMINATING FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH JUST A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF HOLDS IN THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND. AFTER SEEING THE NEW 00 UTC RUN OF THE ECMWF (WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO ITS PRIOR RUN) AND COORDINATING WITH HPC (WHO MENTIONED THAT THE GFS'S GULF LOW SOLUTION WOULD BE A 3 TO 5 STANDARD DEVIATION ANOMALY (OR EXTREMELY RARE) FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR)...THE DECISION HAS BECOME MUCH MORE CLEAR...AND WILL THEREFORE HEAVILY FAVOR THE NEW EURO FROM THURSDAY NIGHT ONWARD. && .AVIATION... VERY MOIST UNSTABLE AIR COVERS THE TRI-STATE AREA... AS A WEAKENING COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AND GEORGIA CONTINUES TO PUSH SLOWLY SOUTHWARD. THE COMBINATION OF THE APPROACHING FRONT...UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...AND A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING RAPIDLY EASTWARD...IS PRODUCING RAPIDLY INCREASING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. SOME STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS ALABAMA AND GEORGIA. CONDITIONS WILL BE MVFR TO LOCAL IFR IN THE VICINITY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH LATER TONIGHT...THEN EXPECT A REPEAT WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT DUE TO FOG AND LOW CEILINGS...WITH AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST IN MOST AREAS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY. && .MARINE... A RATHER UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WORK WEEK. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS SOUTH GEORGIA AND INTO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THEN LIFT NORTHWARD TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER TEXAS. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ACCOMPANYING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE MARINE AREA THURSDAY. && .FIRE WEATHER... EXPECT NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH MOST OF THE COMING WEEK...DUE TO AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SOME WETTING RAINS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SOME OF THE HAIL COULD BE UNUSUALLY LARGE. WE RECEIVED REPORTS OF GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL SATURDAY...AND SIMILAR SIZED HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. CONDITIONS DO NOT APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR A MAJOR TORNADO OUTBREAK...BUT A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. THE OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL IN OUR VICINITY ON MONDAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE...MAINLY IN FLORIDA. THIS RAIN WILL PERHAPS HERALD THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME DROUGHT RELIEF ACROSS THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...WHERE ONGOING WILDFIRES HAVE BECOME HAZARDOUS DUE TO THE ONGOING DROUGHT AND VERY WARM AND DRY WEATHER SINCE THE IDES OF MARCH. IN FACT...MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER COULD BE IN STORE FOR THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK...AFTER JUST ONE DAY OF DRY CONDITIONS. RAIN WILL DECREASE AGAIN FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT AMATEUR RADIO SUPPORT WILL BE NEEDED...BUT RADIO OPERATORS ARE ASKED TO MONITOR THE SITUATION CLOSELY FOR UPDATES.
