THE SOUTH AND INTERIOR COUNTIES WHERE WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER.

DURING WEDNESDAY THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS
THE REGION WITH LATEST GFS/ECMWF/LOCAL WRF GUIDANCE INDICATING
THAT IT WILL BE IN THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AROUND 12Z...ACROSS THE
TAMPA BAY AREA BY 18Z AND THEN SOUTH OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE BY 00Z.
THE NAM IS A FEW HOURS SLOWER THEN THE OTHER MODELS...BUT STILL
HAS THE SAME GENERAL SCENARIO. THEREFORE...EXPECT SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN THE WARM AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS WHERE LIFTED INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN -3
AND -6 WITH CAPE VALUES GENERALLY BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 J/KG. MAIN
THREAT WITH THE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AS A LOW LEVEL
JET AROUND 50 KNOTS MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES DURING THE
MORNING...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO. TEMPERATURES
WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FROM AROUND TAMPA
BAY NORTHWARD THANKS TO THE PRECIPITATION ARRIVING IN THE
MORNING...WITH MID TO UPPER 70S INTERIOR AND SOUTH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY SOME COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY HELPING TO CLEAR SKIES. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW NORMAL
WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID 30S FAR NORTH TO THE
LOWER 50S NEAR THE COAST FROM TAMPA BAY SOUTH AND DAYTIME HIGHS ON
THURSDAY IN THE LOWER 60S NORTH TO AROUND 70 SOUTH.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY)...
FAIR...DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS WILL START OUT THE LONG TERM
PERIOD FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO THE
NORTH OF THE REGION WILL RIDGE DOWN THE SPINE OF THE PENINSULA
THURSDAY NIGHT AND ALLOW FOR A DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING SETUP...
ESPECIALLY NORTH OF TAMPA BAY. SOME PATCHY FROST IS POSSIBLE FOR
NORMALLY COLDER SPOTS...BUT A WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZE EVENT IS NOT
ANTICIPATED. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL FOR
FRIDAY...BUT BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD IN RESPONSE TO OUR NEXT
WEATHER MAKER TAKING SHAPE OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO.

DURING FRIDAY WILL SEE A PROGRESSIVE MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EJECT
EASTWARD OVER THE PLAINS FROM THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. LATE
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...THIS ENERGY WILL PROMOTE WEAK CYCLOGENESIS
ALONG THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF COAST. LATEST ECMWF IS SHOWING A MORE
CONCENTRATED SURFACE LOW BY SATURDAY MORNING...HOWEVER ALL
GLOBAL GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN A POSITION NEAR THE MS
DELTA. INITIAL WARM FRONT SHOULD EXTEND EASTWARD INTO THE
NORTHEAST GULF/NORTHERN FL PENINSULA EARLY IN THE DAY. ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BOUNDARY WILL SUPPORT A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS INTO OUR NORTHERN ZONES LATE FRI NIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING BEFORE. THIS WARM FRONTAL FEATURES ACCELERATES NORTHWARD
INTO GA THROUGH THE DAY. SATURDAY AFTERNOON...UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
TRANSLATES TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST AND MORE RAPID SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS GETS UNDERWAY. COLD FRONT TRAILING BACK FROM THIS LOW
SHOULD TRAVERSE THE FORECAST AREA LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING
WITH A BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. GOOD AGREEMENT IN THIS SCENARIO
AND FOR FAVORABLE SYNOPTIC SUPPORT AND RETURN FLOW. HAVE RAISED
POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS MODEL AGREEMENT. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS SUGGEST A THREAT FOR
SOME STRONGER STORMS ON SATURDAY. ECMWF IS CURRENTLY THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE WITH ITS LOW LEVEL JET...BUT EVEN THE GFS SHOWS A
SCENARIO WORTH WATCHING.

COLD FRONT EXITS TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST SATURDAY NIGHT USHERING IN
ANOTHER ROUND OF COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR FOR THE SECOND HALF OF
THE WEEKEND AND EARLY PORTION OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME
MVFR LOW CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY SOME THIN PATCHY FOG WILL THEN BE
POSSIBLE GENERALLY AFTER 26/09Z. THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE INTO
THE AREA IN THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON CAUSING TEMPO MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. HAVE VCTS BEGINNING 14-15Z
ACROSS THE TERMINALS BUT WILL REFINE CONDITIONS AND TIMING WITH
FUTURE ISSUANCES.

&&

.MARINE...
BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW TONIGHT WILL SHIFT TO WEST TO
NORTHWEST DURING WEDNESDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
WATERS. SMALL EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS OVER THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL OFFSHORE WATERS EARLY TONIGHT WITH ADVISORY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER T0NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES BY TO THE NORTH...THEN INCREASE FOR
THE WEEKEND AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION.

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
