347 PM EST THU JAN 21 2016

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY...
...SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...
...GALE WATCH FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY...
...HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE FRIDAY...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-FRIDAY)...

PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE U/L PATTERN ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA WITH A L/W TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC...A SHARP RIDGE
OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND CANADIAN ROCKIES...INTO A DEEP
TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS.  A STRONG S/W DISTURBANCE WILL DIG
ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT CLOSING OFF OVER THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY ON FRIDAY.

AT THE SURFACE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG
S/W WILL PUSH ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT WITH AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PUSHING RAPIDLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL/EASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO.  A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
AND WILL APPROACH THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA FRIDAY
MORNING...PUSHING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.

THE BEST U/L DYNAMICS WILL BE LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND
NORTH FLORIDA...HOWEVER STRONG U/L DYNAMICS WILL EXTEND OVER THE
FORECAST AREA WHICH WILL CREATE A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY/MID AFTERNOON OVER WEST
CENTRAL FLORIDA. ENTRANCE REGION OF A 40 TO 45 KNOT L/L JET WILL
BE LOCATED OVER THE NATURE COAST FRIDAY MORNING...ALONG WITH
HELICITY VALUES OF 150-250...AND WEAK CAPE OF LESS THAN 500 J/KG.
ENVIRONMENT OVERALL WILL BE MARGINALLY LOW CAPE/HIGH SHEAR WITH
SHERB VALUES APPROACHING 1 WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF A THREAT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL VEER SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST AS THE LINE OF STORMS APPROACH THE REGION. AS WINDS
BECOME INCREASINGLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WITH HEIGHT...THIS WILL
DECREASE THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES. HOWEVER AN ISOLATED TORNADO
REMAINS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS WHEN THE
GREATEST HELICITY WILL BE OVER THE AREA. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE
DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS JUST ABOVE
THE SURFACE AND OVERALL SPEED MOMENTUM BEING PUSHED TO THE SURFACE
DUE TO RAPID STORM MOVEMENT.

SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND WILL BECOME STRONG AND
GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT LATE FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS. AS THE SURFACE LOW REDEVELOPS ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST LATE
IN THE DAY...THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN OVER THE FORECAST AREA WITH
LONG DURATION WEST WINDS DEVELOPING OVER THE WATERS WITH FREQUENT
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE. THE LONG FETCH STRONG WESTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW
SEAS TO RAPIDLY BUILD TO 13 TO 18 FEET WITH VERY HIGH SURF
DEVELOPING ALONG THE COAST. TIDES ARE EXPECTED TO RUN BETWEEN 1 TO
2 FEET ABOVE ASTRONOMICAL VALUES WHICH WILL LIKELY CREATE MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING. THERE IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF HIGH POUNDING SURF
WHICH COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. STRONG RIP CURRENTS WILL ALSO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST
FRIDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY INTO SUNDAY.

.MID TERM/LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY)...
MID LEVEL TROUGH/SURFACE LOW WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST OUT INTO THE
ATLANTIC OCEAN OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE REGION REMAINS UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE TROUGH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH BRISK
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW AND DECENT COLD ADVECTION OVER THE RELATIVELY
WARM GULF WATERS LEADING TO ABUNDANT CUMULUS/STRATOCUMULUS SPREADING
ACROSS THE AREA ALONG WITH SOME LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES...ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE COAST. IT WILL BE WINDY AND RATHER CHILLY FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 40S AND 50S FRIDAY
NIGHT AND THEN ONLY CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 40S FAR NORTH TO MID 60S
SOUTH DURING SATURDAY. THE PROLONGED PERIOD OF ONSHORE WINDS WILL
LEAD TO HIGH SURF AND A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY SOME MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL DEVELOP OVER
FLORIDA AS THE NEXT TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL STATES. THE
RATHER COLD DRY AIRMASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION INTO EARLY
MONDAY WITH THE THREAT FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES SUNDAY MORNING AND
MONDAY MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NATURE COAST. DURING MONDAY
AND TUESDAY THE MODERATING TREND WILL GET UNDERWAY AS THE SURFACE
HIGH MOVES OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC AND A LOW LEVEL EAST TO SOUTHEAST
FLOW SETS UP. BY MIDWEEK THE NEXT TROUGH WILL BE DEEPENING AND
MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S....BUT INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WILL
BECOME POSITIVELY TILTED AND THEREFORE SHOULD POSE LESS OF A THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THOUGH HOW THIS
EVOLVES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS MODEL TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE
MANY FEATURES ARE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT. EITHER WAY THOUGH WE SHOULD
SEE A CHANCE FOR SOME MORE SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY.

.AVIATION...
PREDOMINATE VFR CIGS TONIGHT AOA 100 AT ALL TERMINALS. LCL MVFR
CIGS DEVELOPING LATE TONIGHT ALONG WITH SCT SHOWERS AROUND OR
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS. LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON WITH LCL IFR CIGS/VSBYS. ISOLD SVR THUNDERSTORMS ALSO
POSSIBLE VCNTY ALL TERMINALS.

&&

.MARINE...
LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WATERS LATE
TONIGHT WITH AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE WHICH COULD
PRODUCE WIND GUSTS GREATER THAN 50 KNOTS. A FEW WATERSPOUTS ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE. INCREASING WEST WINDS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT IN
THE WAKE OF THE SQUALL LINE WITH GUSTS TO GALE FORCE LIKELY FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY. VERY DANGEROUS SEAS DEVELOPING BUILDING TO 10
TO 15 FEET NEAR SHORE...12 TO 16 FEET OFFSHORE. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...HOWEVER IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE
LARGE SEAS OVER THE WATERS TO SUBSIDE...WITH SCA FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS POSSIBLE ON THE TAIL END OF THE EVENT AS WINDS DROP BELOW 20
KNOTS.

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO FIRE WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS

AFTERNOON.
