AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
204 PM EDT Sun Mar 30 2014

.Near Term [Through Today]...
The calming center of surface high pressure will slowly
overspread the Southeast through the night tonight. There are a
few complications regarding tonight's minimum temperature
forecast. For one, it is somewhat unclear whether winds will go
completely calm, though they should be very light mostly
everywhere by dawn. Additionally, just about every model is
handling the upstream cirrus poorly. The HRRR has the best handle,
but doesn't run through the night. This forecast will essentially
extrapolate the HRRR cirrus field eastward through the night. Due
to the clouds and uncertain wind forecast, have trended up with
overnight lows. Expect around 40 degrees to be common away from
the coast (near 50 along the coast), with spotty locations
reaching the upper 30s. The duration in the 30s, the clouds, and
wind forecast would all argue a very hostile environment for frost
to develop. IF frost were to occur under the current forecast
conditions it would be extremely patchy, short lived, and confined
to southeast Alabama.

.Short Term [Tonight Through Tuesday]...
An upper level ridge will be in place through this period as surface
high pressure builds east of the area. This will be a dry pattern
with no chance for rain and moderating temperatures. The lower
humidity will also allow for a rather large diurnal swing in
temperatures with chilly mornings and warm afternoons. Lows Monday
night will be in the lower to mid 40s, while Tuesday night will only
dip into the upper 40s to lower 50s. Highs will be in the upper 70s
on Monday and reach the lower to mid 80s on Tuesday.

.Long Term [Tuesday Night Through Sunday]...
The period will start out dry and warm with the upper level ridge
axis just east of the area and a surface high off the Southeast U.S.
coast ridging westward along the Gulf Coast. Highs will be in the
lower 80s for most areas on Wednesday and Thursday and mornings will
be milder than earlier in the week. The upper ridge will be shunted
eastward from Friday onward as energy over the Great Plains tries to
make eastward progress. The associated frontal system will edge
close enough to the region to tap into increasing Gulf moisture and
produce scattered showers and thunderstorms each day from Friday
through the weekend. Rain chances will be highest to the northwest
and taper off to the southeast. Temperatures will remain above
normal despite the increase in moisture.

&&

.Aviation...
[Through 18Z Monday] Breezy northwest winds will continue through
the afternoon, with a calming trend occurring through the night,
and light winds expected tomorrow. Other than a passing cirrus
deck through the night, unlimited VFR is expected.

&&

.Marine...
High pressure to the west of the waters will move east of the area
on Monday and then remain off the Southeast U.S. coast for several
days. Offshore winds and seas have dropped below headline criteria
this afternoon and this trend will continue tonight. Winds will veer
around to onshore by Monday afternoon and light generally south to
southeast winds will be the rule. A slight increase in winds speeds
and seas is expected across the Florida Panhandle waters for
Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.Fire Weather...
Although relative humidities tomorrow will be quite low, and at time
below critical levels, fuel moisture and/or duration criteria will
not be met anywhere in the Tri-State region. Dispersions will be
lower than recent days as high pressure moves overhead, calming
winds a bit. Critical relative humidities are not anticipated
Tuesday through the end of the week.

&&

.Hydrology...
Minor flooding is forecast to begin along the Choctawhatchee River
at Caryville and Bruce early next week. Elsewhere, several other
rivers in the CWA remain in action stage, but no flooding is
forecast. The next chance for rain is on Friday.
