AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
327 AM EST TUE JAN 3 2012

.DISCUSSION...

...VERY COLD WITH WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S AREAWIDE THIS MORNING...
...REMAINING COLD DURING THE DAY WITH FREEZE WARNINGS IN PLACE
TONIGHT...

CURRENT...A STRONG NORTHWEST WIND SURGE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA
WILL REINFORCE AN ALREADY COOL AND DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE ACROSS
THE PENINSULA. WIND CHILL VALUES EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE 20S TO
LOWER 30S ALMOST AREAWIDE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS ON EITHER SIDE OF
SUNRISE. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SLOWER TO DROP OFF THAN FORECAST
THUS FAR DUE IN PART TO SOME HIGH CLOUDINESS AND FRICTIONAL EFFECTS
FROM THE WIND. ALSO COLDER/DRIER AIR MASS TO THE NORTH HAS BEEN A
BIT SLOWER TO ARRIVE IT APPEARS.

ADVISORY/WARNING UPDATES FOR THIS MORNING/TODAY:  THE WIND CHILL
ADVISORY WILL RUN THROUGH 10 AM THIS MORNING...THOUGH WIND CHILLS
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY WILL NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE 40S. THE
FREEZE WARNING FOR INLAND VOLUSIA COUNTY AND NORTH LAKE COUNTY RUNS
THROUGH 8 AM FOR TEMPERATURES AT OR NEAR FREEZING NEAR SUNRISE
...ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL GO INTO
EFFECT AT 4 AM THIS MORNING AREAWIDE LASTING THROUGH 3 PM THIS
AFTERNOON FOR NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 MPH AND
FREQUENT GUSTS 25 MPH TO AROUND 30 MPH. A RED FLAG WARNING WILL ALSO
BE IN EFFECT AREAWIDE FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM THIS EVENING FOR WINDS AND
LONG DURATION LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES.

TODAY...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL
CONTINUE TO DRIFT EASTWARD TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING THE
DAY REINFORCING DRIER CONDITIONS WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SAVE FOR
SOME OCCASIONAL HIGH CLOUDINESS...MAINLY FURTHER SOUTH. MUCH COLDER
TEMPERATURES THAN SEASONAL AS UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 DEGREE READINGS
WILL BE OBSERVED NEAR THE I-4 CORRIDOR NORTHWARD. FURTHER SOUTH
EXPECT LOWER 50S WITH A FEW MIDDLE 50S POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST
ACROSS MARTIN COUNTY. BREEZY/GUSTY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL DECREASE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND TOWARDS SUNSET.

TONIGHT...THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON THUS FAR EXPECTED AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION POURS DOWN THE PENINSULA. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 DEGREES MOST PLACES. ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST/BARRIER ISLANDS/LARGER METROPOLITAN AREAS EXPECT
TEMPERATURES A LITTLE WARMER IN THE LOW 30S AND EVEN MIDDLE 30S
SAINT LUCIE/MARTIN COUNTY COASTS. NORMALLY COLDER SECTIONS ACROSS
THE INTERIOR MAY DIP BRIEFLY INTO THE MIDDLE 20S...BUT AT PRESENT DO
NOT FEEL IT IS ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WIDESPREAD ISSUANCE OF A HARD
FREEZE WARNING SO WILL ONLY UPGRADE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA TO A
FREEZE WARNING...EXCEPT IMMEDIATE SAINT LUCIE/MARTIN COUNTY COASTAL
AREAS. LATER FORECAST SHIFTS MAY LOOK AT FUTURE MODEL GUIDANCE AND
UPGRADE TO A HARD FREEZE WARNING OVER THE INTERIOR.

ANOTHER INTERESTING AND POSSIBLE SAVING FACTOR ALONG THE COAST IS
THAT THE GFS AT 925 MB SHOWS WINDS VEERING TO THE NORTHEAST BETWEEN
06Z-12Z WHICH WOULD BRING SLIGHTLY HIGHER MOISTURE READINGS IN THESE
PLACES AND POSSIBLY KEEPING TEMPERATURES ELEVATED SLIGHTLY ABOVE
FREEZING HERE. NONETHELESS...DID STAY ON AVERAGE A DEGREE OR TWO
ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE AS CENTRAL FLORIDA TEMPERATURES DO TEND TO BUST
FOR MARGINAL FREEZE EVENTS. ANOTHER INTERESTING NOTE IS THAT MOS
GUIDANCE ALSO SHOWS WINDS REMAINING ELEVATED ABOVE 5 MPH IN MOST
PLACES. THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE OVERNIGHT DOES REMAIN NORTH AND
WEST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA WHICH WOULD HISTORICALLY FAVOR THOSE PLACES
FOR COLDER TEMPERATURES. WITH WINDS REMAINING SOMEWHAT ELEVATED AND
LARGE ENOUGH TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS...STILL DO NOT FORESEE ANY
DECENT FROST FORMATION OCCURRING. ALSO A REMINDER...THAT OUR
GUIDANCE FOR A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS FOR SUSTAINED WINDS 10 MPH OR
GREATER AND THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN SO DO NOT EXPECT A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY TO BE ISSUED FOR OVERNIGHT.

WED...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE SETTLING OVER THE
LOCAL AREA AS A FRONTAL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF
THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL RESULT IN MUCH LIGHTER WIND SPEEDS...
NORTHWEST 10 MPH OR LESS. AFTER A VERY COLD EARLY MORNING...MAX
TEMPS WILL MODIFY ABOUT 10 DEGREES FROM TUE...UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S...BUT THIS IS STILL AT LEAST 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

WED NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE
OVER THE PENINSULA. THE MODELS SHOW SLIGHT INCREASE IN BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW...ESPECIALLY NORTH...AS COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
COAST TO OUR NORTH. THE COLDEST TEMPS SHOULD BE ACROSS SOUTHERN
AREAS...NEARER TO THE RIDGE AXIS. HAVE INTRODUCED PATCHY FROST TO
MOST ZONES...BUT THIS WOULD MAINLY BE FOR WIND PROTECTED SPOTS IN
THE NORTH.

THU-SAT...THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SHOULD HOLD ACROSS THE
AREA AND PROVIDE FOR DRY CONDITIONS...WITH SLOWLY MODERATING
TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS REACHING NEAR NORMAL (LOWER-MID 70S) BY
SAT.

SUN-TUE...THE 03/00Z GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER WITH RESPECT TO TIMING
OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS/DEEP SOUTH...WITH THE ECMWF BEING ABOUT 24 HOURS SLOWER
THAN THE GFS. MEX GUIDANCE BRINGS SOME 20 PERCENT POPS ACROSS THE
NORTH SUN AND HAS 20-30 POPS ON MON. WILL NOT INTRODUCE POPS JUST
YET FOR SUN-MON DUE TO THE TIMING UNCERTAINTIES. MAY NEED TO ADD
POPS FOR THE NEW DAY 7 IF FUTURE RUNS TREND TOWARDS THE
SLOWER/WETTER ECMWF. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL AT
LEAST THROUGH MON.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR...BREEZY/GUSTY NW WINDS 15-20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 25
KTS POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY WITH WINDS FORECAST TO DIE DOWN MID TO
LATE AFTN. WIND DECREASING TREND CONTINUES THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...TODAY-TONIGHT...MASSIVE COLD AIR ADVECTION BEING DRIVEN
DOWN THE COASTAL WATERS EARLY THIS MORNING LASTING THROUGH MUCH OF
THE AFTERNOON. RECENT BUOY 012 GUSTS TO NEAR 45 KTS AND BUOY 009 TO
NEAR 39 KTS. VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT AS A GALE
WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE UNTIL 1PM FOR NEAR SHORE LEGS AND 4 PM FOR
OFFSHORE LEGS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOLLOW THE GALE WARNINGS ALL
LEGS THRU 4 AM WED MORNING...REVERTING TO SCA OFFSHORE/GULF STREAM
AFTERWARDS. WINDS WILL BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND LATE TODAY THRU
TONIGHT. SWAN MODEL FORECASTING SEAS TO BUILD AWAY FROM THE COAST IN
EXCESS OF 15 FEET...THOUGH FOR NOW HAVE CAPPED SEAS AT 13 FT. SEAS
WILL BE ON A SLOWER SUBSIDING TREND TONIGHT.

WED...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTH FL WITH RIDGE NOSING DOWN
THE WEST SIDE OF THE PENINSULA EARLY IN THE MORNING MAY ALLOW
NORTH WINDS TO STAY UP AT 15-20 KNOTS IN THE GULF STREAM SO WILL
KEEP ADVISORY THERE UNTIL 10 AM. BY MIDDAY WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO
10 KNOTS OR LESS AS RIDGE AXIS SETTLES TO CENTRAL PENINSULA.

THU...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL PROVIDE A
WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW AND THE MODELS INDICATE SPEEDS 15-20 KNOTS
ACROSS THE NORTH.

FRI-SAT...CONTINUED HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER CENTRAL/SOUTH
PENINSULA SHOULD RESULT IN 10 KNOT OR LESS OFFSHORE WINDS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...TODAY...MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL FILTER
DOWN THE PENINSULA DURING THE DAY. BREEZY NW SURFACE/20 FT WINDS
15-20 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS EXPECTED THRU MID AFTERNOON. WHILE
TODAY'S TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL...AIR MASS COMING
AT US IS DRY ENOUGH TO BOTTOM OUT RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES INTO THE
20S FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND POSSIBLE INTO THE TEENS IN SOME SPOTS
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR OF ECFL. RED FLAG WARNING AREAWIDE TO
REMAIN IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM.

WED...VERY DRY AIR WILL BE IN PLACE WITH MIN RH VALUES SIMILAR TO
TUE BUT WINDS WILL DROP OFF TO 10 MPH OR LESS. ERC VALUES SHOULD
BE BELOW 35 FOR MOST OF THE AREA SO NO WATCH IS PLANNED.
