AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
316 PM EDT Mon Sep 3 2012

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...
With the presence of the upper level trough digging into the
region, areas of convection may linger into the overnight hours
longer than is typical for this time of year. The highest rain
chance during the overnight hours is expected to be in southeast
Alabama and portions of southwest Georgia closest to the influence
of the upper level trough. In fact, the model consensus suggests
likely PoPs in that region for the overnight hours and the
official forecast follows suit. Our local 12z hi-res ARW run (12z
RAP initialized with 12z NAM boundary conditions) is somewhat
concerning and indicates that an area of training convection could
develop during the overnight hours across portions of southeast
Alabama and adjacent sections of southwest Georgia. The large
scale environment could support such an occurrence with
precipitable water values forecast around 2.25 inches and
relatively weak steering flow. This is something that we will need
to keep a close eye on through the evening hours. A mention of
heavy rain was added into the forecast for late tonight across
southeast Alabama and adjacent areas of southwest Georgia.
Hopefully our local 18z hi-res ARW run (18z RAP initialized with
12z GFS boundary conditions) will shed some additional light on
this potential scenario. Min temperatures in the low to mid 70s
are expected areawide.

&&

.SHORT TERM [Tuesday Through Wednesday Night]...
The unsettled weather pattern which begins tonight, will continue
right through Wednesday night. A weak trough (loosely associated
with the remnamts of Isaac) is forecast to slide south across the
region over the next several days, with a weak surface low
possibly developing over the northeastern Gulf by Wednesday. With
copious amounts of moisture available (PWAT 2-2.5 inches) along
with modest upper forcing, expect solid coverage of convection
each day. The guidance is in good agreement in showing the
development of multiple convective complexes over the the next 60
hours. However, the exact timing, intensity, and location of these
episodes remains highly uncertain. Given the generally weak flow
aloft, severe weather is not the primary threat. However, there
may be a risk for localized flooding given the tropical nature of
the airmass. Some of the CAMS guidance is showing isolated rainfall
totals of 5-10 inches over the next 48 to 60 hours. Will continue
to monitor the evolution of this system, and a Flash Flood Watch
may need to be considered later if the convective trends
indicated by the hi-res guidance bear out.

Have bumped up PoPs through Wednesday night from previous
forecast, with likely PoPs for much of the area Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons. Kept southeastern Big Bend a bit drier since
it will be closer to the subsident region on the west side of a
TUTT low over central/south Florida.

&&

.LONG TERM [Thursday through next Monday]...
Rain chances will continue each day with possibly the best chance
late next weekend as models show a very deep trough over the
eastern CONUS with an upper low closing off over the Ohio Valley.
This will send a strong cold front into the southeastern U.S. over
the weekend with a frontal passage possibly by the end of the
forecast period. Would like to see more run to run consistency
before increasing PoPs higher than chance and dropping temps and
dew points too low for the start of next week.

&&

.AVIATION [Beginning 18Z Monday]...
As an upper level trough affects the region, areas of convection
may linger into the overnight hours with the highest chance around
KDHN and KABY. Some MVFR to IFR cigs may also affect the terminals
towards dawn on Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Relatively light southwesterly flow will continue through Tuesday
morning. However, by Tuesday afternoon and evening, the gradient
is forecast to tighten as weak low pressure drops south towards
the Gulf Coast. Exercise caution conditions are possible by
Wednesday morning over the western waters, speading eastward by
Wednesday afternoon. A period of advisory conditions is not out of
the question at some point on Wednesday or Thursday. Winds and
seas should diminish by late in the week as the trough of low
pressure moves east into the Atlantic.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Relative humidity values will remain safely away from critical
levels for the next several days. Thus, no fire weather hazards
are currently anticipated.

SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.
THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC WILL DIVE BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST
DEVELOPING A MEAN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S..
THIS TROUGH...ALONG WITH ADDED MOISTURE FROM WHAT'S LEFT OF
ISAAC...AND A MORE FAVORABLE ONSHORE SEA BREEZE WIND FLOW...WILL
HELP TO KEEP RAIN CHANCES ELEVATED. LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS
POSSIBLE. A STRONG THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL LIKELY DEVELOP
NORTHWEST OF OUR AREA LATER TODAY AND WORK ITS WAY SOUTH TONIGHT
WITH ASSOCIATED RAINFALL LIKELY REACHING AT LEAST OUR NORTHWEST
MOST COUNTIES OVERNIGHT. A FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO ISOLATED
SEVERE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THE REMNANT TROUGH FROM ISSAC WILL CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHEAST INTO
MID WEEK KEEPING CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO THAT EXPLAINED ABOVE IN OUR
AREA. AS THE TROUGH IS SHUNTED FURTHER EAST BEGINNING ON
THURSDAY...RAINFALL WILL DECREASE TO NORMAL THEN BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS UNLIKELY THROUGH TONIGHT BUT SPOTTERS SHOULD
MONITOR THE WEATHER IN CASE FLOODING OR SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP.
