AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
213 PM EST Fri Feb 1 2013

...A long duration, area wide freeze expected tonight...

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

The 18 UTC regional surface analysis showed a cold front roughly
bisecting our forecast area from northeast to southwest. There was
very cold, arctic air well behind this front, and although this
front was continuing to move through our forecast area this
afternoon, the brunt of the cold air advection will remain well to
our north. There fairly opaque high-level clouds ahead of this front
will soon clear out from northwest to southeast.

As an area of high pressure builds in to the north, winds will
become light tonight. This will allow for strong radiational cooling
and we expect a widespread freeze tonight...more widespread, colder,
and of longer duration for most locations than what was observed
last night. The main question is whether or not it will meet our
local definition of a "hard freeze". Based on the latest NWP
consensus, there should be just enough "puffs" of wind throughout
the night to prevent a hard freeze, with lows in our normally
coldest sites (open areas away from the cities and beaches, such as
the Tallahassee Regional Airport) ranging from 26 to 29 degrees. Our
objective guidance still shows a few areas within the forecast area
with a 30% chance of a hard freeze, but at most sites the
probability is less than 10%. The freeze duration will range from 3
to 6 hours. A freeze is unlikely at the Florida Panhandle beaches or
downtown Tallahassee.

&&

.SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday Night]...

Broad troughing aloft will continue through most of the short term
period, before a more zonal southern stream flow pattern takes
over on Sunday night. At the surface, high pressure will dominate,
with the exception of a dry cold front forecast to pass through
the Tri-State region on Sunday. With the trough in place aloft,
and mostly clear conditions at the surface, near average (65/40)
temperatures are expected both day and night through Sunday.
Sunday night may be a bit colder, in the middle 30s, in the wake
of the dry front.

&&

.LONG TERM [Monday through Thursday]...

Nearly zonal flow will prevail through the extended period with
most of the dynamic impulses, within the east coast trough,
remaining north of the local area. On Tuesday, a piece of energy
will make its way far enough south to generate a weak wave of low
pressure in the Gulf. The area of low pressure will move rather
quickly east, and primarily affect only our north Florida
counties. As has been the case recently, it is unlikely that this
system will bring much rainfall locally. We'll probably see totals
on the order of a quarter to half of an inch. It appears as though
temperatures will run about 5 degrees above average on both ends
of the spectrum through Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION [Beginning 19Z Friday]...

VFR cigs (25k ft) at KTLH, KECP, and KVLD will soon clear from
northwest to southeast as a dry cold front passes through. Unlimited
cigs are likely from this evening through the Saturday evening.
Unlimited Vis is likely through Saturday evening as well, unless a
large fire occurs near a terminal- but we currently don't see any
large smoke plumes. Winds will be NW near 10 KT this afternoon,
nearly calm overnight, and E-SE around 5 KT Saturday afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...

In general, high pressure will dominate through mid next week. A
weak cold front will pass over our Gulf of Mexico waters on Sunday
night, however, headline conditions are not expected.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

RH values haven't yet reached Red Flag criteria, but they still might
once the clouds clear and better vertical mixing occurs. Red Flag
conditions are possible as well Saturday, as the airmass will be
even drier. However, the dispersion values will be very low
(especially compared to today's expected high values), so the
warning will be more spotty, and depend on the ERC values. We will
have to wait till later for the ERC values to be update to decide
whether or not to upgrade the current Fire Wx Watch.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Mentionable rainfall is not expected for the foreseeable future.
That being the case, river and stream levels will likely remain
steady and below action stage.
