Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 4:20 AM CST, 1 hour before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
520 AM EST Sat Feb 23 2013

.NEAR TERM [Through Sunday]...
As was fairly well forecast, much of the Region in the Flash
Flood Watch has already received between 3 and 8 inches of
rainfall in several rain bands that moved through the CWA on
Friday and Friday Night (along with many reports of Flooding and
Flash Flooding). Even some areas to the east of the Watch got hit
with significant amounts of rainfall as well, and with another
1.5" to 3.0" of additional accumulations possible today and
tonight, do feel it is prudent to extend the Flood Watch a bit
further to the east as well as extend the current Watch temporally
through tonight. Even though these additional amounts are not
expected to be anywhere near yesterday's totals, the saturated
ground which has been primed will be especially vulnerable to
Areal, Riverine, and Flash Flooding. On Sunday, we can expect a
brief respite in this very wet pattern, before a potentially very
potent Low Pressure system begins to threaten our area from the
west early next week. This system could bring a plethora of
hazardous weather to the Tri-State Area, so all interests should
keep abreast of the latest weather information.

&&

.SHORT TERM [Sunday Night Through Tuesday]...
The short term forecast focuses on the 2nd storm system to affect
our region in this very wet pattern. This system promises to be
more energetic and pose a multi-faceted hazardous weather threat
complete with flooding and severe weather by Monday afternoon. The
flooding will likely be the primary concern given how much rain
has already fallen across the region and given the condition of
area rivers. However, the severe weather threat with this system
cannot be understated.

The Euro has been fairly consistent with the overall progression
of this system for several cycles though in the latest run is a
little further south than yesterday, however, this difference has
no meaningful impact on the heavy rain potential - though it would
lessen the overall severe weather threat. Will continue to keep
the official forecast close to the latest Euro solution.

The period begins with a warm frontal boundary across the Northern
Gulf of Mexico. This boundary will lift northward moving ashore
early Monday morning as surface cyclogenesis begins across the
Western Gulf of Mexico as a potent upper trough digs into West
Texas. How quickly the warm front advances inland will depend in
part on how far south the surface cyclone remains across the Gulf
Coastal States and how entrenched the rain cooled airmass is north
of the boundary across Middle Georgia. As was seen with the last
system, a cool wedge aided by widespread rainfall, limited the
inland advance of the surface warm front limiting overall
destabilization. This will be the main limiting factor for severe
weather as the kinematic field Monday afternoon through Monday
night is more than sufficient for severe weather. The latest
guidance would seem to indicate the severe threat would be more
confined to North Florida and perhaps a little further inland into
Southern Alabama and Georgia. Should a decent warm sector be able
to penetrate further inland, there would be a good threat for
tornadoes and damaging winds in the afternoon transitioning to a
potent squall line event Monday evening into Monday night.

Flooding is going to be a significant concern. Lift with the warm
front is very impressive so initial rainfall on Sunday evening and
into Monday morning could easily exceed 2 to 3 inches across
western areas. As the event transitions to more of a convective
mode, an additional 2 to 3 inches averaged over a larger area
could be expected with isolated higher totals. This type of
rainfall event will lead to further flash flooding and only
increase the magnitude of flooding on area rivers.

&&

.LONG TERM [Tuesday Night through Friday]...
The cold front will surge through the area quickly on Tuesday with
drier air moving into the region throughout the rest of the week.
It looks like temperatures will be trending below climatology
through the extended part of the forecast. Whether the end result
is much cooler as depicted in the Euro by the end of the period or
somewhere in between is uncertain at this time.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 12z Sunday]...
Yet another very challenging forecast for the terminals today,
but conditions are expected to remain generally pessimistic. IFR
to LIFR conditions are expected to be the rule in areas of fog,
low clouds, and numerous showers and thunderstorms, with just an
occasional periods of MVFR levels possible. Even after the showers
and storms taper off and end later tonight, additional low clouds
and fog are likely to set in and take some time to burn off during
Sunday Morning.

&&

.MARINE...Winds and seas will be light to moderate out of the
southwest today and tonight as a Cold Front slowly approaches from
the west. These winds will shift to the northwest late tonight, and
then swing around to the east on Sunday. Thereafter, winds and seas
will increase sharply to Small Craft Advisory Levels out ahead of a
potent Low Pressure system on Monday into Monday Night. Strong to
Severe Thunderstorms may also accompany this Storm System.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
There are no fire weather concerns.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Two large areas of rainfall occurred on Friday afternoon/evening
across the area. Both of these areas (one in Southeast Alabama and
the other in the Florida Panhandle) generated between 3 to 5
inches of rain over a widespread area. Only South Central Georgia
avoided the heavy rainfall with 1 to 2 inches falling there.

The next round of rainfall will move through the region today and
a fairly long train of echos extend all the way back into Coastal
Louisiana. These cells are already producing rainfall rates in
excess of 1.5 inches per hour. As this feature moves into the
region today an additional 1 to 3 inches can be expected over much
of the area with isolated higher amounts of 3 to 4 inches possible.

Expect forecast points in the Choctawhatchee River system to
continue spiking to flood stage today. Have already issued flood
warning for the Shoal River at Mossy Head for moderate flooding.
Additional flooding is ongoing in the Apalachicola River system at
Blountstown.

The next storm system is expected to deliver significant rainfall
across much of the area with average amounts ot 3 to 5 inches with
heavier amounts easily possible. With flash flood guidance
essentially less than 0.5 inches per hour in portions of the
forecast area, expect flash flooding to be a significant concern
not to mention the added impact this rainfall will have on area
rivers.
