What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 30, 6:04 AM EDT, 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 6:04 AM EDT, 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 604 AM EDT WED MAR 30 2016 .Aviation... [Through 12Z Thursday] VFR conditions are expected through this evening. Winds will become SE around 10 KT by late morning, returning to light wind speeds this evening. GFS MOS is forecasting areas of low cigs/Vis overnight, while the other guidance is less pessimistic. Given the uncertainty we will hedge and forecast MVFR cigs/Vis at most sites late tonight. && .Prev Discussion [407 AM EDT]... .Near Term [Through Today]... The regional surface analysis showed an area of high pressure across much of the Southeast. A subtle upper level +PV anomaly was translating quickly eastward along the northeast Gulf Coast, and an upper-level ridge will develop over the Southeast later today in its wake. We expect fair weather with partly cloudy skies today. Our temperature forecast is a just a few degrees below the NWP guidance consensus, based on the expected weak cold air advection in the 850- 700mb level across our region for most of today. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s. .Short Term [Tonight Through Friday]... Interesting stretch of weather through the short term period with the next storm system approaching on Thursday. Overall while the models show that deep layer moisture will begin to increase across the region on Thursday, the best forcing hangs back quite a ways to the west. While the global guidance shows QPF in our western zones before 00z Friday, the CAM guidance does not. In fact, the ensemble CAM guidance keeps PoPs less than 20 percent across the entire region through 00z Friday. This obviously gives some pause to categorical PoPs in the western zones on Thursday. As a result, have scaled back rain chances to the 60-70 percent range in the west and tapered it down considerably to the east. The severe weather potential on Thursday seems a little less impressive this cycle. The slight risk area overlaps just a couple of our western counties. Instability doesn't look to be much of a problem, but the shear is weaker - and with the lack of deep layer forcing it looks like the best chance for severe weather will shift more toward Friday when the better forcing arrives. By Friday, the surface frontal zone will near the region. By daybreak, a secondary shortwave will be moving across the Western Gulf which should reinvigorate convection along the frontal boundary. With the front moving slowly at this point, expect the potential for heavy rain to increase across the region. Additionally, there should be an increasing threat for severe weather as well, with most of the area outlined in a Day 3 slight risk. The extensive cloud cover will play a limiting role with respect to the instability, but the deep layer shear should be a little stronger on Friday afternoon. Unlike on Thursday, there is great consensus between the global guidance and ECAM members in rainfall on Friday, so have increased PoPs into the 80-90 percent range. While there's still some timing differences between the GFS and Euro with this system by Friday, those differences are less pronounced than 24 hours ago, which raises confidence in this portion of the forecast. .Long Term [Friday Night Through Wednesday]... The cold front should be entering the northwestern portion of the region at the start of the period and slowly make its way through the area during the day on Saturday. The GFS remains the fastest with the progression of the system, with the Euro keeping rain chances in place into Saturday afternoon. It would seem that the slower solution at least makes a little more sense climatologically for late March/Early April, so favored a forecast that's slightly closer to the Euro than the GFS. This keeps rain chances in the 50-60 percent range in our southeastern zones on Saturday, with rain coming to an end by Saturday evening. Thereafter, model guidance previously had been indicating a trailing Gulf Low in the Southern stream late in the weekend, but now both the GFS and Euro have dropped this feature, so intend to show dry conditions into early Tuesday. Thereafter, model uncertainties complicate the forecast, with the Euro bringing a weak system through the area on Tuesday into Wednesday. For now, will maintain a dry forecast at the end of the period until better model consensus emerges. .Marine... Winds and seas will begin to gradually increase today ahead of an approaching storm system. Cautionary level winds appear likely by Thursday into Friday. Winds will weaken Friday afternoon as the cold front moves into the area. Offshore winds are expected by Saturday afternoon with an increase back to cautionary levels on Sunday as a high pressure area builds down the Mississippi River Valley. .Fire Weather... No concerns. .Hydrology... Current conditions across the region show above normal streamflows in the lower portion of the river basins, except in the Suwannee. Flooding is still occurring on the Ochlockonee, Apalachicola, Chipola, and Choctawhatchee Rivers in Florida. Flooding concerns increase considerably late this week and into the weekend as a storm system approaches the region. It seems the heaviest rains will hold off until Friday. Due to the slow movement of the frontal system, the potential exists for widespread 3 to 4 inch rainfall totals across the area with isolated heavier totals of 5 to 6 inches possible. The blend of the latest guidance suggests the heavier totals would be most likely in the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, which would suggest at least that the most impactful river flooding would be limited to areas already in flood. With the heavier amounts on Friday, and the already wet conditions across the area, it's possible that a flash flood watch will be needed at some point. However, with the event still more than 48 hours away, it's a little early for a watch. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
