AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
337 PM EDT TUE MAY 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...19 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A SHARP COLD FRONT
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA UP INTO WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. AN
OBSERVATION STATION ON CONECUH COUNTY AL IS REPORTING AN
OBSERVATION OF 64/62. ABOUT 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IN COVINGTON
COUNTY AL THE OBSERVATION IS 87/68...A 23 DEGREE TEMPERATURE
CHANGE ACROSS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS WERE
DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WEAK STABILITY ALOFT WAS
KEEPING SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM DEVELOPING FURTHER EAST OF THE
FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND NORTH FLORIDA...THOUGH A COUPLE
OF ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING...BUT NOT GROWING VERY
MUCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT).
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING BRINGING A MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIRMASS. WITH THE LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING...EXPECT MUCH OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH
QUICKLY AS LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC SUPPORT IS SHIFTING NORTHEAST OF
THE REGION RAPIDLY. WITH SOME WEAK MID LEVEL LIFT BEHIND THE
FRONT...A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT
OVERNIGHT...SO A 20 PERCENT POP SHOULD SUFFICE.

THE COOLER AIR WILL RUSH IN QUICKLY...BUT SINCE THE CLOUD COVER
WON'T CLEAR THE REGION UNTIL AFTER 12Z AT BEST...I'M A LITTLE WARY
OF THE COLDER GUIDANCE TEMPS FOR TONIGHT...SO WILL SPLIT BETWEEN
THE WARMER MET GUIDANCE AND THE COOLER MAV.

WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO FEEL EARLY SPRING LIKE WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S IN SOME PLACES. THERE IS
SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GUIDANCE AS TO WHETHER THE STRONG
MAY SUN CAN OVERCOME THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION. WILL OPT FOR A
WEIGHTED BLEND FAVORING THE COOLER GUIDANCE HERE AS THE INCOMING
AIRMASS IS QUITE COLD...EVEN FOR EARLY MAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT DOES POSE SOME CONCERN WITH THE TEMPERATURE
FORECAST. THE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FROM THE MAV IN BEING
IN THE LOWER 40S IN THE COLDEST SPOTS BY SUNRISE. SOME OF OUR
BIAS-CORRECTED GUIDANCE IS EVEN SHOOTING FOR THE MID TO UPPER 30S
OVER TOWARD CRESTVIEW UP TO GENEVA. THIS JUST SEEMS A LITTLE TOO
COLD GIVEN THE RIDGE POSITION THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF UNDERCUTTING THE WARMER MET
GUIDANCE...BUT WILL KEEP THE FORECAST NUMBERS A DEGREE OR TWO
ABOVE THE COLDER MAV GUIDANCE. IN ANY EVENT...THURSDAY MORNING
WILL FEEL QUITE CHILLY.

THURSDAY...THE TEMPERATURE RECOVERY WILL BEGIN WITH MANY SITES
WARMING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. SHOULD BE A NICE DRY DAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY).
THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF BEGIN THE FORECAST CYCLE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT...FORECASTING A RATHER BROAD...WEAK 500 MB RIDGE OVER
THE CENTRAL CONUS AND DOWNSTREAM NORTHWEST FLOW OVER OUR FORECAST
AREA. A WEAK ...MOISTURE-STARVED SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
BROAD EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL LIKELY HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON OUR
LOCAL WEATHER. THIS SHOULD MEAN FAIR WEATHER WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND. AFTER A RELATIVELY COOL START
FRIDAY MORNING (WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S IN THE
COOL SPOTS)...HIGHS WILL BE NEAR CLIMO (MID 80S) FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
HIGHS WILL THEN APPROACH 90 DEGREES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THE TWO GLOBAL MODELS GET QUICKLY OUT OF PHASE BY EARLY NEXT WORK
WEEK AS THE GFS IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE. IF THE GFS AND GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN VERIFY...WE WILL HAVE FAIR WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S. IF THE ECMWF VERIFIES THERE WILL BE A
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT IN OUR AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING US AT
LEAST SOME CHANCE FOR RAIN AND HIGHS NEAR CLIMO (MID 80S). NORMALLY
WE WOULD TAKE AN AVERAGE OF THE SOLUTIONS...BUT WHEN THE SOLUTIONS
ARE NEARLY 180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE THIS IS NOT A VERY REALISTIC
APPROACH...SO WE WILL GO PRIMARILY WITH THE GFS FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION...LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST INTO THE EVENING HOURS...THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD TONIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH FROM WEST TO EAST. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE
FOR AN ISOLATED TSTM WILL REMAIN NEAR AND AROUND THE DHN TERMINAL
THROUGH THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD. BEYOND THIS 24 HR
PERIOD AND THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY...CLEARING SKIES WITH GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...LOOKS LIKE A SOLID SCA EVENT ACROSS THE MARINE AREA
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH WINDS PEAKING SUSTAINED 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH
HIGHER GUSTS. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT WILL LIKELY INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT TO ADVISORY
LEVELS IN A NORTHEASTERLY SURGE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL GREATLY
DIMINISH BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE
MARINE AREA KEEPING CONDITIONS BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA INTO THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...PLENTY OF DRY AIR COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HIGH
DISPERSIONS FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT WILL LEAD TO RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHWEST FLORIDA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. RED FLAG
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA IF THE WINDS
REACH WIND SPEEDS OF 20 MPH OR FREQUENT WIND GUSTS REACH 25 MPH
THROUGH THIS PERIOD WEDNESDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST BIG BEND DUE TO
LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND DISPERSIONS ONCE AGAIN. THE POTENTIAL
WILL DIMINISH OVER SOUTHWEST GEORGIA THROUGH THIS TIME FRIDAY DUE
TO DECREASING WIND SPEEDS. FOR ALABAMA...KBDI VALUES REMAIN BELOW
500...THEREFORE...RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED.
