AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
1031 AM EDT SUN APR 19 2015
...HEAVY RAINFALL AND A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TODAY...
.NEAR TERM [THROUGH TODAY]...
AN AREA OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME STORMS WILL BE SEVERE. A
TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM EDT. DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES ARE THE MAIN THREAT TODAY. THIS MORNING, A FEW TREES HAVE
BEEN REPORTED DOWN AND ONE TORNADO HAS BEEN CONFIRMED WITH DOPPLER
RADAR. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE,
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TOTALS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 1-2", WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED AREAS
RECEIVING 3-6" OF RAIN, WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME FLASH FLOODING. THE
FLASH WATCH WATCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR ALL BUT THE
VALDOSTA REGION AND THE EASTERN FLORIDA BIG BEND. POPS WILL BE NEAR
100% ALL ZONES TODAY.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION [453 AM EDT]...
.SHORT TERM [TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY]...
OUR AREA SHOULD SEE A LULL IN CONVECTION TONIGHT WITH SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND A DEPARTING CONVECTIVE SYSTEM, AND LARGE SCALE 800-300MB
QG DIVERGENCE (ALSO IMPLYING SUBSIDENCE) BETWEEN 00 UTC AND 12
UTC. WE MAINTAINED A 15 PERCENT "SLIGHT CHANCE" OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS AS A FEW MODELS DO DEPICT SOME LIGHT QPF, BUT THAT MAY BE
GENEROUS. LOOKING AHEAD TO MONDAY, THE SYNOPTIC SURFACE COLD FRONT
ARRIVES AND THE FORCING APPEARS STRONGER ON THE 00Z SET OF MODEL
RUNS THAN IN PREVIOUS RUNS. THE NAM AND GFS BOTH INDICATE SOME QPF
DURING THE DAYTIME ON MONDAY AS WEAK-MODERATE QG CONVERGENCE
DEVELOPS IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 140KT UPPER LEVEL JET. IT
DOES APPEAR THAT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WOULD LIKELY BE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED - MORE ISOLATED THAN TODAY. ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
WOULD BE ON THE CUSP OF A PLUME OF STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES,
WHICH WOULD LIKELY CONTRIBUTE TO MODERATE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT. WHEN COMBINED WITH AROUND 50 KNOTS OF DEEP LAYER
SHEAR, A FEW SEVERE STORMS ARE WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY.
LARGE HAIL WOULD BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD, ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS.
RAIN CHANCES SHOULD THEN QUICKLY COME TO AN END MONDAY NIGHT AS
DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN BEHIND THE SURFACE COLD FRONT.
WITH MORE WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION ON MONDAY IN ADVANCE OF THE
COLD FRONT, A RELATIVELY WARM DAY IS EXPECTED WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY
PUSHING INTO THE MID 80S. LOWS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BE
COOLER, BUT STILL AROUND 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ON MONDAY
NIGHT, WITH HIGHS ON TUESDAY NEAR NORMAL (80 DEGREES).
.LONG TERM [TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY]...
HIGH PRESSURE ON WEDNESDAY, LEADING TO A DRY DAY OVERALL, WILL
QUICKLY ERODE WITH RAIN CHANCES RETURNING FROM THURSDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND. THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES HAVE BEEN PLACED ON SATURDAY,
WHERE THERE IS DECENT AGREEMENT FROM THE GFS AND ECMWF ON SOME
HIGHER QPF AMOUNTS WITH A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. HIGHS LOOK TO
BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL (LOW-MID 80S), WITH LOWS CONTINUING TO BE
WELL ABOVE NORMAL (60S).
.AVIATION...
[THROUGH 12Z MONDAY] CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER INTO MVFR TO
IFR RANGE AT ALL TAF SITES BY DAYBREAK. A SQUALL LINE IS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE ECP-DHN CORRIDOR AROUND SUNRISE AND
PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT ALL TERMINALS WITH ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE.
.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS MORNING, AND THERE IS DECENT
AGREEMENT AMONGST RAW MODEL GUIDANCE TO PUT WINDS IN THE 15-20
KNOT RANGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE COASTAL WATERS. A SCEC HEADLINE WAS
ADDED TO THE FORECAST, AND ONE COULD BE NEEDED INTO MONDAY. AS A
RESULT OF THE ONSHORE WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS, SURF HEIGHTS SHOULD
BE AROUND 3 FEET TODAY AND MONDAY. A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WAS
POSTED FOR WALTON, BAY, AND GULF COUNTIES.
.FIRE WEATHER...
RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT LEAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.
.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL THIS WEEK HAS RESULTED IN A RISE OF AREA RIVERS WITH MANY
REACHING ACTION OR BANK FULL STAGE. THE CHOCTAWHATCHEE RIVER IS
FORECAST TO REACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE AT CARYVILLE LATER TODAY AND
AT BRUCE ON MONDAY. WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN
EXPECTED TODAY, AND ISOLATED TOTALS OF 3-6" POSSIBLE, OTHER RIVERS
MAY APPROACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE THIS WEEK AND FLASH FLOODING MAY BE
POSSIBLE WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURS.
