256 WGUS62 KTAE 191953 FFATAE URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Flood Watch National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 353 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... .Substantial amounts of tropical moisture continue to push into the tri-state region this afternoon from the tropical wave located in the southern Gulf of Mexico. As this system moves north/northwestward, showers will increase in coverage, perhaps as early as late this evening/overnight and persist through early Thursday. These showers will be very efficient rainfall producers, with high rainfall rates yielding flash flood potential through Thursday, particularly in urban areas and areas that are saturated from recent heavy rainfall.

Rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches are possible, generally west of a line from Tallahassee to Albany. * Road closures will be possible, particularly in low lying areas and in poor drainage areas.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jun 19, 12:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 12:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 110 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .AVIATION [Through 18Z Tuesday]... Scattered SHRA continues to spread across the region and will intermittently affect terminals across the region. Temporary reductions in vsbys and CIGS will occur under any SHRA. ISO thunder will be possible, but not prevalent with this activity. RA will increase in coverage late this evening/tonight, potentially lowering CIGS to at least MVFR and lowering vsbys. && .PREV DISCUSSION [1039 AM EDT]... .NEAR TERM [Through Today]... At 2 am EDT tropical disturbance "93L" had a minimum pressure of about 1006 mb along the northeast Yucatan Peninsula. There were no west winds in the region based on surface observations and ASCAT data, indicating that the system lacked a well-defined circulation. While deep moist convection had recently increased (with the approach of the most favorable time of the tropical convection diurnal cycle), it was poorly organized. This disturbance could impact our local weather, either directly or indirectly, over the next few days, but not today. Read more about the future of this system in the "SHORT TERM" and "LONG TERM" sections that follow. Sunday evening's 925 mb analysis showed a cold front extending along the Red river to western NY. Upper air data showed a long wave trough across the Upper Midwest, and a TUTT from the FL Panhandle to Mexico. Vapor imagery showed deep layer moisture rapidly increasing from south to north across our forecast area, which, when combined with at least some Q-G forcing associated with a low-layer trough over the eastern Gulf of Mexico, will mean a good chance of rain for much of the forecast area today. We expect the bulk of the rain to develop along a weak sea breeze front late this morning or early afternoon in FL, then across south GA and AL this afternoon. Poor mid-layer lapse rates and the lack of deep-layer shear should limit the severe storm potential. High temperatures will range form the mid 80s at the FL coast to lower 90s around Albany. .SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Wednesday]... The main focus for this period will be potential development of the tropical/subtropical system in the Gulf and resulting impacts to our area. Models suggest that it will gradually become better organized as it moves northwestward into the central Gulf over the next couple of days and an upper ridge builds westward, replacing an upper trough currently in this area. While there is still significant disagreement regarding the track of this feature (the GFS still has one of the farthest east solutions with a track toward southeast LA, while the ECMWF and other models favor a track much farther west into southern TX or northeast Mexico), at this point no solutions take the system near our area. Due to a lack of consistency in recent models, confidence remains low regarding the eventual track of this feature, but periods of heavy rainfall appear to be the main threat for our area at this time. Given the latest set of model output, the heaviest rainfall (potentially around a foot looks likely to be west of our area. However, if eastern solutions such as the GFS verify, some locations could receive several inches of rain by Wednesday as a plume of deep layer moisture to the east of the system (PWAT values possibly around 2.5") pushes northward into our area. Also, this may not be a purely tropical system, and as a result a baroclinic zone could extend well northeast of the low itself and enhance showers and thunderstorms across our area. Therefore, even if the western solutions such as the ECMWF verify, periods of showers and thunderstorms look likely across our area on Tuesday and Wednesday. With widespread cloud cover and periods of showers and thunderstorms each day, diurnal temperature differences should be small. Highs in the lower 80s are expected to prevail across our area along with lows in the lower to mid 70s. .LONG TERM [Wednesday Night Through Monday]... As the aforementioned tropical/subtropical system moves farther west/northwest of our area, more typical summer conditions for our area are expected to develop later in the week through the weekend. However, from Wednesday night through Thursday lingering deep layer moisture should lead to good chances of showers and thunderstorms (generally 50-60 percent across our area). Deep layer ridging is expected to build across our area from Friday into the weekend, although ample moisture and sea breeze forcing should lead to chances of showers and thunderstorms each day, with highest chances during peak heating times in the afternoon and early evening. After highs remain suppressed in the lower-mid 80s on Thursday with ample cloud cover, decreasing clouds will help temperatures rise to the upper 80s and lower 90s from Friday through the weekend. Low temperatures will remain in the low-mid 70s throughout this period. .MARINE... Winds and seas will increase today through tonight as a broad area of low pressure develops in the southern Gulf and pressure gradient tightens across our area. As a result, small craft operators should exercise caution. A small craft advisory may be needed across our area starting tonight or Tuesday morning as the low moves northwestward into the Gulf and may develop into a tropical system. However, there is still quite a bit of uncertainty regarding the forecast track of this low. Regardless of the exact track and intensity, be aware that choppy seas and gusty winds will be possible through the next few days along with periods of showers and thunderstorms. .FIRE WEATHER... No concerns. .HYDROLOGY... Periods of heavy rainfall are possible across our area during the next few days as a result of the potential tropical system projected to move northwestward into the Gulf of Mexico. Rainfall amounts will depend on the track of this system; if it tracks into the western Gulf as suggested by some models, widespread flooding should not be an issue. However, if a more eastern solution verifies, portions of our area would likely see several inches of rain which could lead to river flooding and possibly isolated flash flooding. We will continue to monitor this system closely for flood potential. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
