AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
335 PM EDT FRI AUG 12 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
19Z WATER VAPOR AND H4 RUC ANALYSIS SHOWING AN UNAMPLIFIED UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS. MAIN NORTHERN STREAM FLOW IS
SITUATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER STATES...HOWEVER A SLIGHT DIP
SOUTHWARD IN THE FLOW IS CARVING OUT A BROAD TROUGH TO THE EAST OF
THE MS VALLEY. ONE FEATURE OF NOTE IS A POTENT PIECE OF ENERGY
CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS IMPULSE WILL BE
A BIG PLAYER FOR THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE NATION BY THE END OF THE
WEEKEND AS IT DIVES SOUTHEAST AND HELPS AMPLIFY AN IMPRESSIVE TROUGH
FOR MID AUGUST ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. UNDERNEATH THE MAIN FLOW
WE FIND BROAD AND ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL RIDGING FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS/MEXICAN PLATEAU REGION EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO.
AT THE SURFACE...WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION.
ANALYSIS SHOWS A VERY SUBTLE TROUGH FROM THE GA COAST EXTENDING BACK
OVER OUR REGION. HIGH PRESSURE IS SITUATED FURTHER NORTH FROM THE TN
VALLEY TO THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST. TYPICAL SCATTERING OF SHOWER AND
STORMS UNDERWAY ALONG THE INLAND PROPAGATING SEA-BREEZE. A FEW
ISOLATED STORMS ARE TRYING TO GET GOING FURTHER NORTH ACROSS
SOUTHERN GEORGIA...AND WOULD EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME A BIT
MORE ROBUST INTO THE LATER AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS OUTFLOW FROM
THE FL STORMS PUSHES NORTHWARD.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...
TONIGHT...TYPICAL SUMMER NIGHT UPCOMING. WILL SEE THE COVERAGE OF
SCT STORMS DURING THE EVENING BEGIN TO DECREASE AFTER SUNSET. DUE TO
MINOR RIPPLES PASSING BY IN THE MID-LEVEL FLOW...CAN NOT RULE OUT A
FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS EVEN INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...
THEY WILL BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN OVER LAND WITH MOST OF THE
NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY SHIFTING OFFSHORE. TEMPERATURES WILL SETTLE INTO
THE MIDDLE 70S INLAND AND GENERALLY UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80 AT THE
BEACHES.
SATURDAY...SIMILAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
FORECAST AREA WILL BE ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF BROAD EAST COAST
TROUGHING...HOWEVER THE FIRST SIGNS OF THE SIGNIFICANT AMPLIFICATION
WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD EASTWARD TOWARD THE OH/TN VALLEYS. FOR OUR
AREA...NOT SEEING ANYTHING THAT WOULD ADVERSELY INFLUENCE DEEP
CONVECTION...WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...MID-LEVEL THETA-E
VALUES BETWEEN 325-330K...AND UNIMPRESSIVE HEIGHTS. THEREFORE WILL
CONTINUE THE TYPICAL 30-40% RAIN CHANCES INHERITED FROM PREVIOUS
FORECAST. WENT WITH A MAV/MET BLEND FOR TEMPS WHICH GIVES 95-98
INLAND AND 91-94 AT THE COAST.
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...GLOBAL GUIDANCE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL
SEE A SIGNIFICANT EAST COAST TROUGH IN PLACE BY THE END OF THE DAY
SUNDAY. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH WE WILL SEE A TRUE COLD FRONT
SLIPPING INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS OF
SUNDAY THIS FRONT AT THE SURFACE WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF OUR
ZONES. THEREFORE STILL EXPECTING A SCATTERING OF MAINLY
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS. WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ANY
ORGANIZED CONVECTION ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS
TIME...BUT WILL KEEP A CHANCE POP IN THE GRIDS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
AS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY DROPS CLOSER TO OUR AREA. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS LIKELY THAT THE SURFACE FEATURE ITSELF WILL STALL OVERHEAD
WITHOUT A CLEAR PASSAGE. A CLEAN FRONTAL PASSAGE WOULD BE RATHER
UNUSUAL THIS TIME OF YEAR...HOWEVER THE DEGREE OF THE UPPER TROUGHS
AMPLIFICATION IS UNUSUAL ITSELF. EVEN WITHOUT A CLEAN PASSAGE...AS
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS PASSES BY...A SIGNIFICANT INTRUSION OF DRY AIR
ALOFT WILL SPILL OVERHEAD DURING SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS DRIER
AIR WILL REDUCE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)...
GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD KEEPING A
RATHER POTENT UPPER TROUGH IN PLACE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD DOWN
TO THE GULF COAST. AN ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA EARLY ON MONDAY...USHERING IN A DRIER AIRMASS. THIS
DRIER AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE REGION THROUGH
THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK. THEREFORE...FOLLOWING SCATTERED POPS
FOR MONDAY... EXPECT TO SEE ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WITH THE LACK OF PRECIP COVERAGE
AND DRIER AIRMASS...TEMPERATURES CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL NEXT WEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
A LIGHT GRADIENT WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS GENERALLY LOW THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN SOMEWHAT DURING THE LATER
PORTION OF THE WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH.
A MODERATE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL SET UP AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY
FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...HOWEVER CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED
TO REMAIN BELOW CAUTIONARY LEVELS.
&&
.AVIATION...THROUGH 18Z SAT.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY OUTSIDE OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS. BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE NEAR ECP...TLH AND
VLD. INCLUDED TEMPOS FOR THESE TERMINALS. OVERNIGHT...VSBY WILL ONLY
BE A CONCERN AT ECP AND VLD WHERE A BRIEF PERIOD OF PRE-DAWN MVFR
IS FORECAST.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
DISPERSION INDICES WILL INCREASE ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER... THE
RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL NOT DROP BELOW 40 PERCENT. DRIER AIR IS
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD STILL
REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
