Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
349 AM EDT Sat Oct 28 2017

.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...

The cold front and associated pre-frontal showers and thunderstorms
continue to push eastward at this hour, with the latest surface
analysis placing the front across northwestern Alabama and into far
southeastern Mississippi. A band of showers and weak thunderstorms
currently proceed the front across the western Florida Panhandle,
with this activity expected to move across the tri-state region
through the morning hours. Given meager pre-frontal instability,
poor moisture content through the column, and the majority of upper
level support located well off to the northwest, any convection
along and ahead of the surface front will generally remain on the
weak side, posing a low threat for any damaging winds or flooding
rains today. Average rainfall totals today are expected to remain
below 1 inch area-wide, though isolated amounts exceeding the 1 inch
mark are not completely out of the question, particularly along the
coast where moisture is most prevalent through the column.

Given the current progression of this activity, expect
high temperatures today to be lower across the western half of the
region, as extensive cloud cover and rainfall will inhibit daytime
heating. Highs in this area will likely range from the upper 60s to
low 70s. The eastern half of the area will likely remain removed
from mostly cloudy skies and shower activity long enough to warm
into the mid to upper 70s, with some locations approaching the 80
degree mark in the far eastern Big Bend and along the I-75
corridor.

.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday]...

The northern stream trough will continue to amplify into the
Southeast through tonight, with the cold front exiting the
southeast Big Bend after midnight. Cold air advection will force
lows into the upper 30s across parts of southeast Alabama, extreme
western Georgia, and the western Florida panhandle. Lows will be a
bit warmer further to the east, with middle 40s expected along a
line from Panama City through Valdosta, and near 50 degrees in the
southeast Big Bend. The anomalous trough will bring with it an
anomalously cold pool of air in the lower levels. Afternoon mixing
will tap into this pocket of cold air and result in high
temperatures on Sunday in the upper 50s across Alabama and
Georgia, and right around 60 degrees in north Florida. Breezy
conditions will make it feel a few degrees cooler as well. The
coldest night with this frontal passage will be Sunday night when
overnight lows will fall into the upper 30s everywhere, with
pockets of middle 30s expected as well. Where lows fall into the
middle 30s, patchy frost is expected to develop. A frost advisory
could be necessary as we near Sunday night and a more specific
threat area can be nailed down. The trough will begin to lift out
of the Southeast on Monday, resulting in afternoon highs climbing
into the middle and possibly upper 60s.

.LONG TERM [Monday Night Through Saturday]...

A much more zonal upper-level pattern will prevail through the
extended range, with shortwaves moving east through the Deep
South. These shortwaves are not expected to result in rain chances
as deep layer dry air will prevail through at least mid-week. A
shortwave moving into the Southeast late in the week could finally
pair up with some moisture and result in a slight increase in
PoPs locally. In general, high and low temperatures will gradually
increase to seasonable norms through the week.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 06Z Sunday]...

Reduced CIGS, SHRA, and iso TS continue to approach the region from
the west at this hour and will spread from west to east through the
period. MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible as SHRA spreads
eastward through the morning and into the afternoon hours, with
winds shifting from south to west-northwest with the passage of the
cold front. CIG restrictions are expected to linger post front, with
winds generally around 10kts through the period.

&&

.MARINE...

Advisory conditions are expected to begin this evening in the wake
of a cold front. Advisory conditions should come to an end by
Sunday night, with Cautionary conditions tapering off on Monday.
Thereafter, winds and seas will remain below Cautionary levels
through the week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Dispersions are expected to be elevated along the advancing cold
front this afternoon, as pre-frontal transport winds increase this
morning. Chances for wetting rains will persist through this evening
before clearing. Behind the front, drier conditions will settle into
the region once again, with RH's potentially approaching critical
values on Monday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Average rainfall amounts of an inch or so should be expected
across the western Panhandle and parts of southeast Alabama this
morning. QPF amounts will gradually decrease as the front catches
up with the leading convection and the system becomes more
progressive later today. Most of the region will get less than a
half of an inch of rain, with up to an inch possible in the Big
Bend. After today's front, no rain is expected through next week
and flooding is not expected.

&&

.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.
