Area forecast discussion, Feb 3, 8:12 PM CST, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
912 PM EST WED FEB 3 2016
.Near Term [Through Tonight]...
The line of thunderstorms continues to moves slowly east across
the area. Over the past few hours the line has narrowed and weakened
significantly. While heavy rain is still possible, rain rates are
not as high as they were this afternoon. The flash flood watch has
been trimmed back to a line from Jefferson to Berrien counties and
will remain in effect until 7am EST. There are some showers behind
the main line and models show some redevelopment in this area
overnight. Lows tonight will range from the upper 40s in southeast
Alabama to low 60s in Big Bend.
&&
.Aviation...
[Through 00Z Friday]... The line of thunderstorms has cleared all
sites except VLD. Showers and MVFR cigs will continue overnight
before improving around 12Z.
&&
.Prev Discussion [345 PM EST]...
.Short Term [Thursday Through Friday Night]...
Surface front will push southwest of the forecast area early
Thursday morning. However, deep southwest flow will continue to
ride up and over the front, with the primary shortwave lagging
behind and delaying the passage of the upper trough. This will
keep isentropic lift in place over the eastern half of the
forecast area through much of the day on Thursday, with steady
(occasionally heavy) rain expected. Rainfall totals from this
afternoon through Thursday afternoon will exceed 3 inches for most
areas east of the river. Rain chances will gradually diminish from
west to east on Thursday. With the front passing and rain weather
expected, temperatures will likely be steady or slowly fall
through most of the day, with high temperatures occurring in
the morning.
.Long Term [Saturday Through Wednesday]...
A series of strong shortwaves will dive towards the Gulf Coast
through the extended period. First shortwave will induce explosive
cyclogenesis just off the southeast coast late Saturday into
Sunday. With the strength of the upper system, could see a shower
or two across the area on Saturday. However, any rainfall amounts
would be very light. High temperatures will rise a bit through the
weekend, with lower to mid 50s on Saturday turning into upper 50s
and lower 60s by Monday. The next potent shortwave will reach the
Gulf Coast on Monday, ushering in a progressively colder airmass.
While little precip is expected, temperatures will be noticably
colder, with highs in the 50s and lows in the lower 30s.
.Marine...
Offshore winds will increase to near Small Craft Advisory
conditions tonight in the wake of a cold front. Winds will shift
to the northeast and weak by late Friday as high pressure builds
overhead. Strong winds will return by Sunday as low pressure
deepens just northeast of Florida.
.Fire Weather...
Rain will continue from this afternoon and through tonight over
much of the area, before gradually exiting on Thursday morning.
Wetting rains are likely everywhere. Drier air will arrive on
Friday, but red flag conditions are not expected. High dispersions
are also likely on Friday afternoon.
.Hydrology...
A widespread 2 to 4 inches of rain is forecast across much
of the forecast area with today and tomorrow's frontal passage.
Localized areas may receive totals closer to 4-6 inches, which poses
a risk for flash flooding. A flash flood watch remains in effect.
Outside of the flash flood threat, the widespread rain totals are
forecast to cause flooding along several area rivers and streams
including the Shoal River, Pea River, Choctawhatchee River,
Kinchafoonnee Creek, Chipola River, and Withlacoochee River, as
well as continue flooding along the Apalachicola River.
