...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.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING...

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southeast Alabama, the Florida
  Panhandle, central and western Big Bend of Florida, and
  southwest Georgia.

* From Tuesday morning through Thursday morning

* Widespread expected amounts of 3 to 6 inches west of the
  Apalachicola River; 1 to 3 inches east of the river. 

* Reasonable worst case: Rainfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches are
  possible west of the Apalachicola River, particularly from
  Panama City westward. 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. The greatest risk for life
  threatening flash flooding exists in urban areas and near small
  streams which rise rapidly in torrential rain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING FOR
PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...AND THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...

.Periods of rain will continue across the Flash Flood Watch area
through at least Wednesday Night. While most of the rain will be 
light, occasional heavy rain is expected due to the abnormally 
moist airmass in place. The concern is that a few locations could
get repeated bouts of this very heavy rain. If this were to occur
in a flood-prone area, such as in an urban area, or near a small 
stream, or any poor drainage site, flash flooding could occur.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

The Flash Flood Watch for portions of southeast Alabama and
Florida has been cancelled. As Tropical Storm Cindy continues to
move farther away from the area, the threat for additional
flooding rains has ended. There may be lingering flooded roadways
from the earlier heavy rains. Remember, turn around, don't drown.

.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.
