AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
830 PM EST Mon Jan 2 2012

...Arctic Air Mass will arrive tonight and last through Wednesday
morning...

...A Freeze Warning and Wind Chill Advisory remain in effect Tonight
into Tuesday Morning...

...A Hard Freeze Watch remains in effect Tuesday Night into
Wednesday Morning...

.DISCUSSION...The Arctic Air Mass is continuing to plunge southward
towards the CWA this evening with gusty NW winds right along and
behind the Arctic Blast. Current Fcst is essentially on track, but
may tweak this evening's temps just a bit, as a temporary lull in
the winds has allowed some areas to experience pre-frontal
radiational cooling into the lower 40s as of 8 pm EST. Also, despite
the expected very low wind chills tonight, it no longer appears that
Wind Advisory Criteria will be met, so will at least be able to
cancel one of the many components of our current NPW product. Over
the coastal waters, winds appear to be ramping up on schedule but
seas are already at 7 feet at Buoys 42036 and 42039, so will ramp up
both 00 to 06 UTC and 06 to 12 UTC periods to account for this. In
fact, once the Gale Force conditions enter the waters, would not be
surprised if our fcst seas (even now adjusted to 11 feet well
offshore) are a bit low when all is said and done. Also, now that
the leading SCA has expired, will go ahead and add one on to the end
when the Gale Warning Expires.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period.
Although there has been a lull in the winds this evening, a
reinforcing front will push through during the overnight hours, and
northwest winds may become gusty again between 15 and 20 knots
behind this front.
