AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
150 PM EST TUE JAN 11 2011

...YET ANOTHER ARCTIC OUTBREAK IS ON THE WAY...

.SYNOPSIS AND SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...
AS WAS MENTIONED IN THIS MORNING'S DISCUSSION...WE NARROWLY MISSED A
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FREEZING DRIZZLE EVENT OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
THIS MORNING...AS TEMPERATURES REMAINED 2 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING IN MOST AREAS ACROSS THE CWA. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE VERY
STRONG 18 DEGREE TEMPERATURE INVERSION BELOW 940 MB (OR 2300 FT
ABOVE THE SFC)...THE LOW CLOUDS WITH AREAS OF LIGHT FOG AND DRIZZLE
HAVE BEEN VERY SLOW TO CLEAR THE REGION...EVEN AS THE SFC LOW
CONTINUES TO MOVE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE CWA...NOW HEADING UP THE
U.S. EASTERN SEABORD. HOWEVER...AS BLEAK AND DREARY AS IT HAS BEEN
DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...CLEARING SKIES ARE ON THE WAY...BUT
THE PRICE TO PAY FOR MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL BE YET ANOTHER ARCTIC
AIR MASS. A BUILDING 1045 MB SFC RIDGE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE AND
UPPER PLAINS WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AND WILL
PUSH A DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION FROM NW TO SE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THIS RIDGE WILL SCOUR OUT ALL OF THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE...AS GUSTY NW WINDS ADVECT COLDER AND MUCH DRIER AIR
INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL ALSO SET THE STAGE FOR A COLD NIGHT
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...BUT EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING A HARD FREEZE OVER PARTS OF THE AREA...THE
SFC WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOO STRONG TO ALLOW THIS TO OCCUR.
HOWEVER...A WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZE WITH VERY COLD WIND CHILLS
APPEARS VERY LIKELY...AND WILL ISSUE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IF OUR
FCST APPARENT TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 20 DEGREES.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ARE BOTH EXPECTED TO BE SUNNY BUT VERY CHILLY
DAYS...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO THE LOWER TO MID 40S
ACROSS THE REGION FROM NW TO SE. THEREFORE...WILL INCORPORATE SOME
OF THE RAW MODEL DATA INTO THIS FCST (ESPECIALLY THE NAM12)...AS IT
APPEARS TO HAVE A SLIGHTLY BETTER HANDLE ON THE SITUATION (A FEW
DEGREES COOLER ON HIGH TEMPS) THAN THE STANDARD AND BIAS CORRECTED
MOS. ALSO...WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE COLDEST OF THE 2
DAYS...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE STRONGER WINDS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE
DAYTIME WIND CHILL READINGS...WHICH MAY NOT GET OUT OF THE MID 30S
IN SOME AREAS.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS...WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZES WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 20S ARE STILL EXPECTED AS WINDS
BECOME VERY LIGHT...ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND
WARMER URBAN AREAS SUCH AS DOWNTOWN TALLAHASSEE.

.LONG TERM...(FRI. THROUGH NEXT TUE.)...
THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH THE
END OF THE WORK WEEK WITH NEARLY ZONAL FLOW OVER THE WEEKEND
FOLLOWED BY WEAK RIDGING ON MONDAY. THE SURFACE RIDGE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
THROUGH SATURDAY AND THEN SLIDE EAST SUNDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT
DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVE INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY TUESDAY MORNING. THE GFS SHOWS A SURFACE LOW
TRACKING EASTWARD ALONG THE GULF COAST MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS LATE TUESDAY. THIS
SCENARIO WOULD BRING WIDESPREAD RAINS TO THE LOCAL TRI-STATE ON
TUESDAY. SINCE THIS IS STILL A WEEK AWAY...CONFIDENCE IS LOW SO FOR
NOW WILL ONLY SHOW  LOWER END CHANCE POPS ON TUESDAY. MIN TEMPS BOTH
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS WILL BE NEAR HARD FREEZE CRITERIA.
OTHERWISE BOTH MIN AND MAX TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY WARM TO ABOVE
SEASONAL LEVELS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...OFFSHORE WINDS TEMPORARILY
DECREASED TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS EARLIER TODAY AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW.
HOWEVER...THEY ARE EXPECTED TO RAMP UP VERY QUICKLY BACK TO SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS THIS EVENING AS THE MUCH STRONGER ARCTIC HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THEN...WINDS AND SEAS
ARE EXPECTED TO SLACKEN JUST A BIT ON WEDNESDAY BACK TO CAUTIONARY
LEVELS...BEFORE A NOCTURNAL SURGE BRINGS THEM BACK TO ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THEREAFTER...
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY DECREASE FROM MODERATE TO LIGHT
LEVELS FROM LATER ON THURSDAY INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...LOW CIGS CONTINUE TO HANG TOUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH IFR
TO LIFR CONDITIONS CONTINUING. A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE
STARTING TO SHOW UP IN ALABAMA AND THE FINAL BACK EDGE OF THE CLOUDS
IS ENTERING MISSISSIPPI. EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO THE
MID AFTERNOON HOURS WITH A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR FROM WEST TO
EAST FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED AT ALL SITES STARTING AROUND 03 UTC.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH A COOL DAY IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY...VERY LOW
DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO MEET RED
FLAG CRITERIA ACROSS ALL OF OUR FLORIDA ZONES...SO A RED FLAG
WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY ACROSS THE FLORIDA ZONES...SO A
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. HARD FREEZES ARE EXPECTED EACH MORNING
FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WIND CHILL READINGS WILL ALSO BE
LOW ENOUGH TO REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA ON THURSDAY MORNING WITH
MANY AREAS SEEING READINGS IN THE MID TEENS. CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN HAZARDOUS OVER THE GULF WATERS DURING THIS PERIOD AS WELL
WITH CONDITIONS NOT DROPPING BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA UNTIL
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A GRADUAL MODERATING TREND IN TEMPERATURES
WILL COMMENCE THIS WEEKEND BENIGN CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE
MARINE AREA.
