AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
334 AM EST FRI JAN 22 2016

...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TODAY...

.NEAR TERM...THROUGH TONIGHT...

TODAY...

A DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE NE ACROSS EXTREME NE
ALABAMA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND RE-DEVELOP ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST
THIS EVE. A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE WILL RAPIDLY TRAVERSE THE REGION
DURING THE MORNING AND EXIT THE AREA DURING THE MID AFTERNOON.
TIMING HAS THE LINE ENTERING THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA DURING THE
WARNING...THE EASTERN HALF AT AROUND NOON...MOVING OFFSHORE DURING
THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. SPC HAS THE SUWANNEE VALLEY AND THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER AND A MARGINAL RISK ELSEWHERE. THE SHEAR APPEARS MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT BUT INSTABILITY OVERALL WILL BE LACKING. IT'S POSSIBLE
THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH SFC BASED INSTABILITY TOWARDS THE GULF
COAST THIS MORNING AND ACROSS NE FL THIS AFTERNOON IF ENOUGH HEATING
CAN OCCUR. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS WITH
ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE. MAX TEMPS REACH AROUND 70 ACROSS THE
EASTERN PART OF NE FL WITH MID/UPPER 60S ELSEWHERE.

TONIGHT...

AS THE DEEPENING STORM ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST CONTINUES TO MOVE NE
TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST...MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS WILL MOVE
INTO THE AREA ON BREEZY WNW WINDS. PRECIP WILL RAPIDLY END DURING
THE EVE AS THE DRY SLOT BRIEFLY MOVES IN BUT CONSIDERABLE WRAP
AROUND CLOUDS WILL FILL IN DURING THE OVERNITE HOURS. MID LEVEL
IMPULSES ROTATING AROUND THE LARGE UPPER LOW MAY PRODUCE ENOUGH LIFT
FOR A FEW EVENING SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY EVEN A FEW BRIEF SNOW
FLURRIES ACROSS INLAND SE GA EARLY SAT AM. HOWEVER...MOISTURE WILL
BE LIMITED AND SFC TEMPS WILL BE WELL ABOVE FREEZING SO THERE ARE NO
CONCERNS AS SREF PROBABILITIES CONTINUE TO BE NEARLY NON-EXISTENT
FOR ANY MEASURABLE FROZEN PCP. LOW TEMPS FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S
ACROSS THE SUWANNEE VALLEY AND INLAND SE GA TO THE LOWER/MID 40S
ELSEWHERE.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

SATURDAY...MODERATE TO STRONG W/NW FLOW WILL RESULT IN BRISK AND
CHILLY CONDITIONS...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID/UPPER 40S. WITH WIND
SPEEDS IN THE 15-20 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS TO 30-35 MPH FOR MOST
AREAS...EXPECT WIND CHILL READINGS REMAINING IN THE UPPER 30S/LOWER
40S FOR MOST OF THE DAY. ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL DEPART TO
THE NE RESULTING IN DRY CONDITIONS...ENOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN FOR MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO LINGER FOR MOST OF THE DAY WITH
SOME EROSION OF THE CLOUDS BY LATE IN THE DAY.

SATURDAY NIGHT...STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL EJECT NE OF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST...WITH WINDS GRADUALLY DECREASING AS THE SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS LOOSENS. RESIDUAL CLOUDS IN THE EVENING WILL
DISSIPATE AS SIGNIFICANT LAYER DRYING OCCURS. CONTINUED COLD
ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN A LIGHT FREEZE FOR MOST AREAS.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA
FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND CHILLY
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE. EXPECT HIGHS SUNDAY MAINLY IN THE MID
50S...WITH LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE LOWER/MID 30S.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFFSHORE MONDAY...WITH THE NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM APPROACHING THE AREA TUESDAY...AND MOVING OVER THE AREA
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY. DYNAMICS LOOK RATHER WEAK...SO WILL LEAVE TSTMS
OUT OF THE FCST. WITH SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES...WILL KEEP POPS CAPPED
AT HIGH END CHANCE. WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTHERLY IN ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT BY TUESDAY...A MODERATING TREND IN TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR FOR
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS FOR
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL THURSDAY BEHIND THE FRONT
TO BELOW NORMAL ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...FIRST CONCERN FOR THIS MORNING WILL BE LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR BETWEEN 09Z-14Z AS 2KFT WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 40 KNOTS FROM
THE SOUTH. NEXT...A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE WILL CROSS THE TAF SITES
BETWEEN 16Z-20Z AND PRODUCE TSRA WITH PREVAILING IFR CONDITIONS AND
GUSTY WINDS. THE SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE TO THE EAST WITH CONDITIONS
BECOMING VFR BY AROUND 21Z-22Z.

&&

.MARINE...SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY AS A DEVELOPING STORM
SYSTEM PASSES TO THE NORTH OF THE WATERS AND WILL CONTINUE THE
PREVIOUS ADVISORY FOR ALL OF THE LEGS. A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE
WILL MOVE OFFSHORE THIS AFTERNOON PRODUCING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS AND POSSIBLY A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.
AS THE STORM SYSTEM RE-DEVELOPS ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST THIS
EVE...A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE WATERS PRODUCING A SHARP
INCREASE IN WEST WINDS ESPECIALLY OFFSHORE AND HAVE UPGRADED TO A
GALE WARNING FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
WINDS/SEAS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE SUNDAY WITH CONDITIONS BELOW
HEADLINE CRITERIA EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

RIP CURRENTS: MODERATE RISK TODAY DUE TO INCREASING SOUTHEAST TO
SOUTH WINDS AND A LONG PERIOD SWELL. A LOW RISK IS EXPECTED SATURDAY
DUE TO STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS.
