AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
240 PM EST SUN JAN 5 2014

...ARCTIC COLD TO INVADE REGION MON THRU WED...

CURRENTLY...PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL CONTINUE WITH A FEW
LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE ERN ZONES AND ALSO INLAND SE GA DUE
TO WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES IN THE AREA. TEMPS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE
TO REACH 60 TODAY OVER INLAND SE GA. TEMPS OVER NE FL IN THE 70S
WITH MID 60S OVER IMMEDIATE COAST. WELL DEFINED ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS
LOCATED FROM TN VALLEY TO LA AND INTO THE NW GULF OF MEXICO MOVING
SEWD.

TONIGHT...A TRICKY FCST WITH THE WIDE RANGING AFFECTS OF THE STRONG
COLD FRONT ARRIVING BEFORE TOWARD SUNRISE. DUE TO DEWPOINTS RISING
TO 55-60 DEG OVER THE MID 50S COASTAL SHELF WATERS...THERE WILL BE A
PERIOD OF SEA FOG ALONG THE COAST AND OFFSHORE TO NEAR 40 NM FROM
EARLY EVENING TO AROUND 06Z-08Z BEFORE THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES. AT
THIS TIME...DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN A MARINE DENSE FOG
ADVISORY. SUFFICIENT  MOISTURE AROUND TONIGHT FOR SHOWERS BUT FORCING
NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE SO WILL HAVE LOW RAIN CHANCES GENERALLY IN THE
10-25% RANGE WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES OVER INLAND SE GA ZONES
LATE TONIGHT AS THE STRONG FRONT ARRIVES.

MONDAY...THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS SE GA DURING THE MORNING
AND ACROSS NE FL DURING THE AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH LIFT AND
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS OF WHICH
WILL RAPIDLY END FROM NW TO SE AS THE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH. IT
APPEARS THE MUCH COLDER AIR WILL BE LAGGING BEHIND THE PCP SO NO
FROZEN PCP OR SNOW EXPECTED. ONLY LIGHT PCP AMOUNTS EXPECTED AT
MOST. TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO PLUMMET BEHIND THE FRONT...DESPITE THE
CLEARING SKIES...WITH HIGHEST TEMPS IN THE MORNING (40S IN SE GA AND
60S NE FL) AND LOWEST IN THE LATE AFTERNOON (NEAR 40 SE GA AND 45-50
NE FL). THE STRONG DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM EASTERN
TEXAS AND THE GULF COAST WILL PRODUCE BRISK NW WINDS WITH WIND CHILL
READINGS SUBFREEZING ACROSS INTERIOR SE GA MON AFTN.

MON NIGHT...AN ARCTIC DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES BRINGING THE COLDEST WEATHER SINCE AT LEAST
JAN 2010...AND IN SOME CASES SINCE JAN 2003...TO THE REGION. AN
ADVECTION FREEZE WILL OCCUR AS NORTHWEST WINDS REMAIN IN THE
10-15 MPH RANGE THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF FALLING
TEMPERATURES AND THESE PERSISTENT WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY
COLD WIND CHILLS...WITH READINGS POSSIBLY APPROACHING ZERO OVER
PORTIONS OF INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GA AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH SINGLE
DIGITS TO NEAR 10 DEGREES ELSEWHERE DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS.
HAVE THUS CONTINUED THE PREVIOUS WIND CHILL WATCH FOR LATE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE 12Z GFS MOS GUIDANCE HAS
COME IN A DEGREE OR TWO COLDER THAN THE PREVIOUS RUN. FEEL THAT
LOWS WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE GIVEN
THE WIND AND HIGH CLOUDS SO HAVE ESSENTIALLY KEPT PREVIOUS MIN
TEMPS IN TACT WHICH ARE ALREADY SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN GUIDANCE.
HAVE CONTINUED WITH LOWS ON TUES MORNING WILL RANGE FROM AROUND
15 TO 16 OVER INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GA...UPPER TEENS IN INTERIOR
NORTHEAST FL...AND LOWER TO MID 20S FOR NORTH CENTRAL FL AS WELL
AS AREAS ALONG THE ST JOHNS RIVER AND TOWARDS THE COAST. THESE
LOWS ARE STILL WELL BELOW HARD FREEZE CRITERIA AND GIVEN HIGH
CONFIDENCE WILL UPGRADE PREVIOUS HARD FREEZE WATCH TO A WARNING.

TUE/TUE NIGHT...THE ARCTIC DOME WILL EXPAND AND ONLY GRADUALLY
WEAKEN WHILE SLIDING NORTH OF OUR AREA ON TUES AND TUES NIGHT.
HIGHS TUES...DESPITE ONLY A FEW HIGH CLOUDS...SHOULD ONLY REACH
35-40. THESE HIGHS ARE BELOW DAILY MINIMUM RECORDS. COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL CEASE ON TUES EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO A
POSITION OVER THE CAROLINAS. HOWEVER...WE ARE EXPECTING A
WIDESPREAD HARD RADIATIONAL FREEZE...WITH LATE EVENING TEMPERATURES
INLAND PLUMMETING TO 20-25 BEFORE LEVELING OUT OVERNIGHT. THESE
VALUES WOULD AGAIN CHALLENGE DAILY RECORDS. A DEVELOPING LIGHT
ONSHORE WIND REGIME SHOULD KEEP THE IMMEDIATE NORTHEAST FL COAST
NEAR OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING.

SOUTHEAST GA WARM TO THE MID 30S...RANGING TO THE LOWER 50S AT THE
COAST. WARM AIR ADVECTION...A DEVELOPING COASTAL TROUGH...AND A
DEPARTING SHORTWAVE WILL DEVELOP ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS REGION-WIDE ON THURS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. TEMPS WILL CLIMB
BACK ABOVE CLIMO...WITH 60S NORTH AND THE LOWER 70S OVER NORTH
CENTRAL FL. WARMING TEMPS CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR FRI...AS
RIDGING ALOFT STRENGTHENS DOWNSTREAM OF A DEVELOPING TROUGH IN THE
ROCKIES. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL INCREASE DEEP- LAYERED MOISTURE FOR
FRI THRU SUN...AND A RAIN CHANCES SHOULD INCREASE AS ISENTROPIC LIFT
INCREASES FROM THE SOUTH AND THEN PERSISTS OVER THE AREA. LOWS THURS
NIGHT WILL WARM INTO THE 40S FOR INLAND SOUTHEAST GA AND THE
SUWANNEE VALLEY...WITH 50S ELSEWHERE...AND HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM

A LONG PERIOD SWELL OF ABOUT 15 SECONDS NEAR 6 FT. WILL CARRY SCEC
FOR SEAS FOR TONIGHT. HAVE KEPT SCA FOR NEARSHORE WATERS MON
THROUGH TUE AND WENT AHEAD AND UPGRADED GALE WATCH TO WARNING SINCE
IT WOULD BE IN THE 2ND PERIOD. WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN ON TRACK TO
INCREASE TO 25-30KT WITH SEAS BUILDING UP TO ABOUT 10-11 FT AT A
PEAK OFFSHORE WATERS EARLY MONDAY NIGHT. WINDS BEGIN TO SUBSIDE
WEDNESDAY...BUT ELEVATED SEAS WILL LINGER INTO THURSDAY OFFSHORE.

RIP CURRENTS: MODERATE RISK TODAY LIKELY TO TRANSITION TO LOW RISK
ON MONDAY MAINLY DUE TO OFFSHORE FLOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY
USHERING IN A MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR MASS ON BRISK NORTHWEST
WINDS. HARD FREEZES ALONG WITH DANGEROUS LOW WIND CHILLS...AS LOW AS
ZERO DEGREES...IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A
HARD FREEZE IS EXPECTED AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT BUT WITH MUCH LESS WIND.
BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH ALONG WITH HIGH DISPERSION
INDICES ARE EXPECTED FOR MONDAY. MIN RH'S ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES ON MONDAY...BUT FALL WELL BELOW CRITICAL
VALUES ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER...WINDS ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND RECENT RAINS WILL KEEP FUEL MOISTURE AND ERC
LEVELS ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS...WHICH WILL AVERT A RED FLAG
EPISODE DURING THIS EVENT. ANOTHER HARD FREEZE WILL OCCUR TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING INLAND...WITH A LIGHT FREEZE AT THE
COAST. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL TO THE 20-30 PERCENT RANGE
INLAND ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT NORTHEAST WINDS OF ONLY 5-10 MPH
ARE EXPECTED INLAND. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REBOUND AT
COASTAL LOCATIONS ON WEDNESDAY AS ONSHORE WINDS DEVELOP.
TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY VALUES WILL THEN RAPIDLY RECOVER LATER
THIS WEEK AS THE ARCTIC AIR MASS DEPARTS.
