AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
303 AM EST Wed Feb 12 2014
.Near Term [Through Today]...
Broad longwave troughing covers much of the country this morning,
with low amplitude ridging nosing in across the Southwest. Embedded
within the trough is an elongated +PV anomaly sprawling down the
center of the Plains. At the surface, a developing low pressure
system sits southeast of New Orleans, off the LA coastline.
Extending east from the low, across the northeast Gulf is a warm
front, with a cold front trailing the low to the south and west.
Isentropic ascent along the warm front allowed for an area of light
to moderate stratiform rain to spread inland across the Florida
panhandle yesterday, into Alabama and Georgia through this morning.
The low to mid layer warm anomaly associated with the stratiform
rain helped to pull the entire frontal system north over the past
few hours. A developing thermally induced area of low pressure off
the Florida east coast, and the increasing influence from the
approaching upper level +PV anomaly to the west will cause the area
of surface low pressure to move very little over the next few hours
as it will somewhat be tugged in both directions. If anything, the
low will drift a bit more eastward towards the eastern Florida
trough, with the warm front gradually lifting north. As the warm
front lifts north, expect the light to moderate stratiform rain to
lift north out of the Florida Big Bend for the first part of the
day. By midday, as flow veers across the Florida Peninsula ahead of
the approaching Gulf low, it will in turn strengthen the easternmost
trough and push it north and east towards the Mid-Atlantic
coastline. At the same time the intensifying upper PV anomaly will
be dropping into the Southeast. As a result, the surface low will
strengthen and begin to pick up forward speed as it turns northeast.
The low should enter the western Atlantic this evening, quickly
bringing precip to an end behind the trailing cold front.
The entire Tri-State region should expect rain today with just about
a 100% chance of rain everywhere. Rainfall accumulations will be
greatest north and west of a line from Albany to Panama City, where
the movement of the frontal system will be a bit slower this
morning. Later in the day the system should be a bit more
progressive yielding lesser accumulations east of this line. On
average, 1-2 inches will be possible to the west, while 0.5-1.0
inches will be more common east. As always, isolated higher amounts
will be possible (primarily west), not expected to exceed 3-4
inches.
For most areas severe weather is not expected, though there remains
a low chance for a few strong to severe storms within a narrow
window of time late this afternoon/early evening across the
southeast Big Bend of Florida. The primary threat will be isolated
damaging wind gusts, with a very low possibility of a weak tornado.
The primary limiting factor will be instability, especially at the
surface. Elevated storms will remain fairly weak as well, likely too
weak to support any sort of hail development. The window of time to
be on the lookout should be in the 4-7pm EST range, and likely
confined to Taylor, Lafayette, and Dixie counties.
There will be an extremely sharp temperature gradient across the
region today with the southeast Big Bend expected to warm into the
low 70s, while portions of Alabama and Georgia will likely not climb
out of the 30s! So for ease of explanation, the 50 degree isotherm
will likely spread northeast from Destin through Valdosta,
decreasing temperatures to the north and increasing to the
southeast. With steady winds, and occasional gusts, it will barely
feel like 30 degrees across our northernmost counties.
.Short Term [Tonight Through Friday]...
By this evening, deep upper trough will be digging into the deep
south, with the surface low near Tallahassee, heading off to the
east. The trough is forecast to become negatively tilted during
the overnight hours, with the sfc low rapidly deepening off the
southeast coast. The widespread rainfall will end from west to
east during the evening hours as the surface low kicks out to the
east. However, an area of wrap-around precip, associated with the
upper trough axis, may clip the northern portion of the forecast
area from just before midnight through the early morning hours of
Thursday. The lower levels of the atmosphere will be cooling
during this time as well, with model soundings supporting a
mixture of rain, sleet, and freezing rain along the northern
border of the forecast area, if any precipitation remains.
Will continue to mention a slight chance of frozen precip late
tonight, generally north of a line from Albany to Tifton. The
chance of frozen precipitation remains low, and anything that
does fall is expected to be very light with minimal impacts.
However, with temperatures falling to (or just below) freezing
across the northern CWA by sunrise, a few slick spots on elevated
surfaces cannot be ruled out. If the cold air were to move in more
quickly, or the precipitation linger longer than forecast, these
impacts could increase.
Any lingering precipitation will end by sunrise Thursday, with
temperatures rising quickly back above freezing. High temperatures
Thursday afternoon should reach the mid to upper 50s across the
region. High pressure will slide overhead Thursday night, allowing
temperatures to fall back into the lower 30s by Friday morning.
Ahead of a weak front on Friday, temperatures will likely reach
the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies.
.Long Term [Friday Night Through Wednesday]...
A cold, dry air mass and higher pressure will move in behind the
cold front and remain in place through early next week with mostly
zonal flow aloft. As another shortwave trough propagates eastward
across the CONUS Monday-Tuesday, a low pressure system will develop
over the Nrn plains. The cold front associated with this low will
sweep eastward Monday through Tuesday. This will mean increasing
rain chances to 20-30% in our area Tuesday.
&&
.Aviation...
[Through 06Z Thursday] Generally, IFR ceilings are expected today
at all terminals. Ceilings will likely bounce between low-end MVFR
and IFR outside of showers, with the possibility of a very brief
scattering to VFR at KVLD and KTLH later this afternoon. The
chance of VFR is too low to include in the TAF.
&&
.Marine...
Low pressure will deepen and move along the northern Gulf Coast
today and tonight. Southerly winds will increase ahead of the low
and then becoming northwesterly in its wake tonight. Expect Small
Craft Advisory conditions by mid-morning over the western legs and
by early evening over the eastern legs. Winds will remain elevated
through Thursday morning. High pressure will then keep winds light
into Friday before southwesterly winds increase ahead of another
cold front.
&&
.Fire Weather...
Relative humidity levels will remain above critical thresholds for
the next several days. Thus, hazardous fire weather conditions are
not anticipated.
&&
.Hydrology...
An approaching system will slowly move across the forecast
through to night, bringing widespread rainfall totals of 1-2",
with the highest totals in southeast Alabama and southwest
Georgia. This rain is forecast to cause some rise on area rivers,
notably a rise to action stage, or bank full, on the
Choctawhatchee River at Caryville and Bruce and on the
Kinchafoonee River at Preston and Dawson, with Dawson potentially
rising to minor flood stage by the weekend. Later this week the
Flint River at Albany and Bainbridge and the Ochlockonee River at
Thomasville may also rise to bank full.
