SOUTHEAST COAST OF TEXAS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE 12Z MODEL RUNS
REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TRACKING THIS LOW RAPIDLY TO THE EAST
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO OVER THE NEXT 18
HOURS. AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS FLORIDA...A ROBUST LOW LEVEL
SOUTHWESTERLY JET OF 40-60 KNOTS WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS LLJ COMBINED WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AND
INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AND EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO. SPC HAS
PLACED MOST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. VERY SIMILIAR TO THE LAST SYSTEM THAT MOVED
THROUGH ON FRIDAY...THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT THE AREA QUICKLY BY LATE
SUNDAY MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. IN THE WAKE OF THIS LOW...SUNNY
SKIES AND COOLER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEK AS STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. RIDGES SOUTHEAST OVER THE
REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM(SUNDAY NIGHT - SATURDAY)...
A PROGRESSIVE SPLIT FLOW PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE CONUS DURING
THE LONG TERM PERIOD. AT THE START OF THE PERIOD AN UPPER TROUGH AND
ATTENDANT SURFACE LOW WILL BE LIFTING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE
OPEN ATLANTIC WELL EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WITH A TRAILING
COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT A ZONAL FLOW ALOFT COMBINED WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SUPPORT COOL DRY WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY. DURING MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WITHIN THE FAST SOUTHERN STREAM
WILL PASS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA WITH AN ATTENDANT
REINFORCING COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
BRINGING WITH IT ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD DRY AIR INTO THE FORECAST
AREA AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
IN ITS WAKE WITH DRY WEATHER AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED
THROUGH MID WEEK. ON WEDNESDAY ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE WILL PASS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA...WITH LITTLE IMPACT WITH COOL DRY
WEATHER CONTINUING.

DURING THURSDAY AN UPPER TROUGH AND DEVELOPING CLOSED LOW AND
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE EAST FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN CONTINUE TO MOVE
EAST INTO SOUTHEAST STATES ON FRIDAY WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT OVER
THE CENTRAL GULF APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...BRINGING WITH IT
INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER SOME WITH THE TRACK/TIMING AND
INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH THE MODELS
STRUGGLING TO RESOLVE INDIVIDUAL FEATURES WITHIN SUCH A FAST FLOW
REGIME THIS WINTER...SO FOR NOW WILL USE A BLEND AND DEPICT A SLOW
INCREASE IN POPS DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND WAIT TO SEE IF BETTER
CONTINUITY DEVELOPS AMONG THE MODELS IN THE COMING DAY.

PLEASANT COOL DRY WEATHER WILL RE-DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST ON
SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS STORM SYSTEM AS A DRY NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT DEVELOPS AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH MID WEEK...BEFORE CLIMBING BACK TOWARD NORMAL LATE IN THE
WEEK...WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AGAIN RETURNING FOR THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND
INTO THE NIGHT. CONDITIONS CHANGE LATER TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON SUNDAY AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES
THE REGION. MVFR/LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE
CONVECTION AFTER 17/06Z. STRONG GUSTY WINDS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED
THAT MAY WARRANT LOCAL AIRPORT WIND WARNINGS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL START OUT IN THE 10 KNOT RANGE OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST THROUGH SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON...THEN QUICKLY INCREASING
TO AROUND 25 KNOTS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO GALE FORCE. THIS WIND
FIELD WILL RAPIDLY SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARD THE COASTLINE
AFTER 17/06Z. WINDS INSIDE TAMPA BAY AND CHARLOTTE HARBOR WILL BE
SLIGHTLY LESS BUT STILL REACHING SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS MAKING IT
VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANY BOATERS IN THE AREA. STRONG ONSHORE WIND FLOW
WILL ALSO PRODUCE A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AND HIGH
SURF ALONG THE WEST COAST BEACHES. CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE
LATE SUNDAY WITH WINDS DECREASING BUT WILL TAKE MORE TIME FOR THE
SEAS TO ABATE...SO WILL KEEP SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR THE OUTER
WATERS UNTIL EARLY MONDAY MORNING. WINDS AND SEAS WILL MODERATE BY
TUESDAY AND WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS AND
SEAS 2-4 FEET THROUGH MID WEEK...THEN FURTHER IMPROVING TO 2 FEET OR
LESS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH DISPERSIONS CAN BE EXPECTED TOMORROW WITH GUSTY
WINDS IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.
DISPERSION INDICES DECREASE ON MONDAY...BUT WITH DRIER AIR FILTERING
IN BEHIND THE FRONT AS WELL...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES COULD DROP TO
THE MID 30S FOR SOME OF THE INLAND AREAS. NO SIGNIFICANT FOG IS
EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
