Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
148 AM EDT Mon Oct 16 2017

.AVIATION [Through 06Z Tuesday]...

VFR conditions are expected to prevail across our area through the
next few hours. Starting around 09Z, low clouds and/or patchy fog
could result in IFR/LIFR cigs at VLD. These could persist through
12-14Z before lifting and dissipating. A cold front will move from
NW to SE across our area from the morning through the afternoon,
with MVFR cigs possible in the wake of the front at DHN and ABY.
Scattered showers/storms could result in brief visibility
reductions during the afternoon, mainly at TLH and VLD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [827 PM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

This evening's surface analysis showed a cold front, the first of
the season to make it so far south, from the eastern Great Lakes
through the TX coast. Vapor imagery and upper air data showed a
trough translating quickly to the east over the Ohio Valley, with
weak Q-G forcing extending as far south as the Gulf Coast. While
there was plenty of deep moist convection in south AL this
afternoon, we don't expect much to develop in our forecast area
overnight as much of the troposphere remained very dry over our
area, which will enhance the decay of CAPE. Recent radar trends
confirm this reasoning. Low temperatures will be in the 70s.

.SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday Night]...

The aforementioned front will move through the entire Tri-State
region through Monday, with showers and storms ending over the
southeast Big Bend overnight Monday night. Highs on Monday will
range from the middle and upper 70s behind the front (Albany to
Destin westward), up to the upper 80s ahead of the front.
Overnight lows will fall into the middle 50s across southeast
Alabama, up to the lower 60s in the southeast Big Bend. A mixture
of cloud cover and the cooler air aloft will result in high
temperatures in the lower 70s on Tuesday. Tuesday night will
likely be the coolest night of the week with lows falling into the
middle and upper 50s for most of the region. These are typical low
temperatures for this time of year.

.LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Sunday]...

It appears as though the once forecast continental northeasterly
flow is now forecast by models to become more easterly and have a
maritime component. While showers and storms aren't expected, this
will result in a moistening airmass and lows slightly above
average. Still, lows in the low 60s to upper 50s are much cooler
than they've been recently. Highs will gradually warm into the
lower to middle 80s as ridging builds in late in the week. Though
these are near typical early fall values.

.MARINE...

Light winds and low seas will prevail overnight. Starting Monday,
winds and seas will increase to borderline advisory conditions and
will persist through much of the week in the wake of a cold front.

.FIRE WEATHER...

No concerns.

.HYDROLOGY...

Rainfall amounts with the front (and for the next week for that
matter) will be less than a half of an inch. These amounts do not
raise any flooding concerns.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always
encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they
occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.
