SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY SLIDE EASTWARD TOWARDS THIS BOUNDARY TODAY...
INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER HAS DIMINISHED WITH THIS LOW (ALTHOUGH A
FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS)...THE THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL HAS INCREASED, ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS
OF THE CWA WHERE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL

IN SOME LOCATIONS BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE. THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN
COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN LOW LYING AND VULNERABLE AREAS

WHICH ARE ALREADY AT ELEVATED FLOW LEVELS FROM EARLIER RAINFALL.
ALL INTERESTS ARE URGED TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST SITUATION
AND BE PREPARED IF FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ISSUED LATER

...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING
FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...AND THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE...

...THIS WATCH HAS BEEN TRIMMED BACK SLIGHTLY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST IN THE COUNTIES WHERE THE THREAT HAS DIMINISHED...

.AS OF SATURDAY AFTERNOON...MUCH OF THE WATCH AREA HAD RECEIVED 3
TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE FRIDAY MORNING. A FEW SPOTS HAD AMOUNTS
APPROACHING 7 TO 8 INCHES. FORTUNATELY THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS FINALLY
BEGUN MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD...WHICH WILL REDUCE THE OVERALL
THREAT. STILL...BECAUSE OF THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS...IT WOULD NOT
TAKE BUT AN INCH OR SO MORE TO CAUSE FLASH FLOODING IN PORTIONS
OF THE WATCH AREA. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL LIKELY END BY SUNDAY
MORNING...BUT ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY ON MONDAY.

  HEAVIEST RAIN IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR SO THE WATCH WILL
  CONTINUE TONIGHT. THE MOST VULNERABLE LOCATIONS IN THIS REGION ARE
  CITIES LIKE TALLAHASSEE...WHERE EVEN BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN
  CAN CAUSE FLOODING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

PLEASE MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH A FLOOD WARNING BE ISSUED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
315 AM EST Thu Feb 21 2013

...Flash Flood Watch in effect across Portions of the Area from
Friday afternoon through Saturday morning...

...Slight Risk of Severe Weather for Northern and Western Portions
of the Tri-State Region Friday and Friday Night...

.NEAR TERM [Today]...
The weather will begin to undergo a transition today as a shortwave
upper ridge over the area slides to the east ahead of a developing
storm system moving into the Great Plains. Winds will shift from
northeasterly to southeasterly this afternoon as surface high
pressure slides towards New England and low pressure deepens to the
west. Expect to see an mid and high clouds on the increase
throughout the day, with warmer temperatures than Wednesday. Highs
are forecast to reach the lower to mid 70s across the region. No
rain is expected during daylight hours today.

&&

.SHORT TERM [Thursday Night Through Saturday]...
As a deep low pressure system translates from the Central Plains
into the Midwest Thursday night, a warm front will lift north across
the local area and a cold front will approach from the west. This
front will slow and stall just west of our CWA Friday. A wave a
forecast to develop on the front near Mobile Friday night and deepen
as it moves northeast and just off the mid-Atlantic coast late
Saturday dragging the cold front into our CWA. A prolonged period of
deep layer moisture and decent upper level energy will reside over
our area and we continue to be concerned about the flooding
potential. Models show the highest QPF amounts focused along and
west of a line form near northeast of Albany to near Panama City.
This is the same area that received abundant amount of rain just
over a week ago. As a result, we will issue a Flood Watch on this
forecast package. The watch will be effective from early Friday
afternoon until early Saturday afternoon. Additionally, the Storm
Prediction Center has roughly the same area outlined for a slight
risk of severe storms for Friday and Friday night. Increasing low
level jet of 30-50 Kts, surface dew points in the mid 60s+ and
moist/saturated low-level profiles will be some of the contributing
factors. The greatest threat will be damaging thunderstorm winds but
increasing low level shear may support supercell development and
some risk for a few tornadoes. Will continue to show a sharp NW to
SE tapering of PoPs from categorical to slight for Thursday night
through Friday night. PoPs will then be uniform in the likely
category on Saturday as the front pushes from west to east across
the FA. Temps will be above seasonal levels.

&&

.LONG TERM [Saturday Night through Wednesday]...
The system discussed above on Friday is expected to linger into
Saturday before exiting the area. However, it appears as though the
front will not get very far south of us before another upper level
trough digs in west of the area and pulls it back northward again
with another wave of low pressure possibly developing along it.
This scenario would bring more rain, possibly heavy, back into
the area again on Sunday night into Monday before exiting on
Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 06Z Friday]...
VFR conditions are expected to persist through 00z Friday at all
terminals. Conditions will then begin to deteriorate from west to
east after 00z as low level moisture increases ahead of an
approaching storm system. MVFR cigs are forecast to prevail at all
terminals (except KVLD) by 06z Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will swing around to the east and then southeast today
with periods of exercise caution to perhaps low end advisory
conditions possible through Saturday. Diminishing offshore winds
will overspread the local waters in the wake of a cold front late
Saturday and Saturday night. Winds swing around to the east by late
Sunday and increase to at least cautionary levels early next week
head of the next low pressure system.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Moisture will be on the increase today as onshore flow develops this
afternoon. This will keep humidity values above critical levels for
all areas. A very moist airmass will be in place for Friday, with no
fire weather concerns through the weekend and into early next week.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
While area river levels continue to decline following last weeks
heavy rain and flooding, the potential for additional flooding, this
weekend into early next week, is increasing as a pair of storm
systems prepare to move across the southeastern states.

The first system is expected to drop heavy rain across portions of
southeast Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwest Georgia from
Friday afternoon through early Saturday. Rainfall totals for this
event are expected to be 2 to 4 inches across these areas, with
lesser amounts to the south and east. Locally higher amounts will be
possible, especially if 'training' of cells occurs. With already
saturated soils, this amount of rain could lead to dangerous flash
flooding. This is the reasoning for the issuance of a Flash Flood
Watch.

In addition to the potential for flash flooding, this rain, along
with additional heavy rain early next week, will likely lead to
significant rises on area mainstream rivers and their tributaries.
Five day rainfall totals may reach as high as 6 to 8 inches for some
areas in SE Alabama, SW Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle. Many of
the same rivers and streams which flooded last week, will be
vulnerable to additional flooding through the next 7 days. A flood
event of similar or greater magnitude to last week is possible.

For the latest stage and forecast information, please refer to our
river flood warnings and statements, or go to our AHPS site on the
Internet, at: http:/water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=tae

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

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

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD INTO THE REGION
TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE
ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN GEORGIA ZONES...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE. SOME OF THE RAIN MAY BE HEAVY BUT THE HEAVIEST
RAINS ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST FOR THE DEEP SOUTH
THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH SEVERAL STORM SYSTEMS BRINGING RAIN TO THE
REGION. COMPUTER MODELS INDICATE TWO BOUTS OF RAINFALL
LIKELY...ONE FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY AND A SECOND MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.

THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL BRING TWO THREATS TO OUR AREA MAINLY FOR
THE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. A SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST
TO DEVELOP ON A STALLED FRONT JUST TO THE WEST OF OUR FORECAST
AREA AND STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER
TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING
THUNDERSTORM WINDS BUT THERE IS ALSO SOME RISK FOR A FEW
TORNADOES. ADDITIONALLY...HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THESE
SAME AREAS AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL HAS
ELEVATED RIVER LEVELS ABOVE BASE FLOWS AND SOILS REMAIN SATURATED
ACROSS THESE AREAS. PLEASE REFER TO OUR HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
(MIAESFTAE) FOR MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON RIVER FLOODING AND
FORECAST RAINFALL TOTALS.

THE SECOND SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK AND MAY
BRING ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS TO OUR REGION AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. ITS TOO EARLY TO BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT
BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND UPDATE THIS PRODUCT WITH THE
LATEST INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
