AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
330 PM EST Mon Mar 5 2012

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
A reinforcing shot of cooler and drier is filtering in behind a dry
cold front early this afternoon. The airmass ahead of the front is
so dry that there isn't a cloud to be found. Surface high pressure
centered over the Ohio Valley this afternoon will build as it slides
east to the Mid-Atlantic states by Tuesday afternoon. This will
allow low level winds to quickly swing around from the northwest
this afternoon to east with a tightening gradient across the area on
Tuesday. Winds will drop off overnight but we should still keep a
light north to northeast component in what would otherwise be ideal
radiational cooling conditions. Temperatures by daybreak should drop
into the lower to mid 30s with one or two of the normally colder
locations possibly briefly dropping to the freezing mark. The light
winds and very dry airmass will inhibit the development of frost.
Tuesday will be breezy with abundant sunshine and afternoon temps
generally in the mid to upper 60s. The surface high will move east
into the Western Atlantic with a building mid-upper ridge from the
GOMEX up the eastern seaboard Tuesday night through Wednesday. This
will mark the beginning of another extended warming trend.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)...
The large scale amplified longwave pattern begins with a trough
over Wrn states with closed low developing over 4 Corners, and in
response amplified ridging over Ern states. At surface high well off
Carolina Coast with axis WSW towards Nrn Gulf. Low over TX with cold
front draped WSW across TX and newd towards Canadian Maritimes.
However, it is at this point where the models diverge so
confidence in latter portion of the forecast not high.

The 00Z GFS is much more bullish in lifting low to Cntrl Plains Fri
night where it spins only slowly making its way to Great Lakes by
Mon aftn. In response Ern ridge flattens and then pushed offshore by
Thurs aftn allowing deeper later moisture with increasing SW
steering flow to overspread nrn Gulf region. By Sun, low has lifted
sufficiently NEWD for deep SW flow to approach local area Fri night
with some energy crossing thru Sun night and exiting on Mon.
Conversely 00Z ECMWF 4 Corners low which only drifts NWD and
meanders east as the nrn stream jet leaves it behind allowing Ern
ridge to remain strong thru day 6 shunting bulk of moisture over
ridge and largely N of CWA. Ridge begins to erode on day 7 shunting
some deeper moisture more ESE but still remains largely NW of CFWA
thru the period.

At surface, low reaches wrn gulf coast by Fri night with warm front
ENE across S/Cntrl AL/GA and slow moving cold front swd into Gulf of
Mex. Then models again diverge with most guidance stalling cold
front west of our area while keeping CWA in warm and muggy warm
sector. Weighing all the guidance suggests that a clean frontal
passage is doubtful and that a slower solution laying out just NW of
area the best scenario at this time. This essentially results in
keeping slight chance to chance pops in the forecast Friday thru
Monday with bulk of rain across SE AL/SW GA closest to boundary
through the weekend.

Will go with nil pop Wed night thru Thurs night, then 40-20% NW-SE
pop gradient Fri thru Mon. Without a clear frontal passage, local
area remains in warm sector so both min and max temps will remain 5
to 10 degrees above climo thru the period with mildest Mins Fri
night and warmest days Thurs and Fri before increasing clouds temper
high temps. (Avg inland min/max is 46/72 degrees).

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will become offshore and gradually increase to advisory levels
overnight in the wake of a dry cold frontal passage this afternoon.
Winds will then veer from a northerly direction to the east as
surface high pressure slides eastward to the Mid-Atlantic states on
Tuesday. This high will be building and tightening the gradient
across the northeast Gulf of Mexico with advisory level conditions
continuing at least through Tuesday night. The ridge will slide
south by Thursday night and Friday and allow winds to veer to the
southeast. Winds will finally drop below cautionary levels by
Thursday evening. The next frontal system is forecast to stall west
of the area on Friday.

&&

.AVIATION (Through 18z Tuesday)...
Unlimited or nearly unlimited VFR conditions with will continue at
the terminals through the period. Winds will be a bit gusty out of
the NW for the remainder of this afternoon, become light (5 kts or
less) after sunset tonight, and will then shift to the east at 10 to
15 kts for much of the day on Tuesday as a ridge of High Pressure
strengthens to our NE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
The Red Flag Warning for all of the Florida Big Bend and Panhandle
is well on track for verification today due to long durations of low
Relative Humidity, combined high Dispersions and strong 20 foot Wind
Speeds. Over Southeast Alabama and Southwest and South Central
Georgia, the northern tier (about 1/3) of the region has dropped
below 25 percent RH this afternoon, but 4 hour durations are in
question, and the sustained 20 foot wind speeds or frequent gusts
are not expected to materialize to produce Red Flag Conditions. On
Tuesday, there will be no concerns for our AL and GA zones, but will
issue a Red Flag Warning for all of the Florida Big Bend and
Panhandle (except for Coastal Gulf and Coastal Franklin Counties)
due to Relative Humidity below 35 percent in conjunction with
Dispersions greater than 75. For the remainder of the week and
upcoming weekend, return flow moisture should prevent any further
Red Flag concerns.

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW. A FEW
SPOTS ACROSS THE EASTERN FLORIDA BIG BEND COULD SEE SOME FROST
THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL PICK UP OVER THE MARINE AREA ONCE AGAIN
TONIGHT AND MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXERCISE CAUTION.

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

WINDS AND SEAS OVER THE MARINE AREA WILL BE AT CAUTIONARY TO SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES RETURN TO THE FORECAST FROM FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM TO ASSESS ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
