Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
405 PM EST Wed Mar 1 2017

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

Our approaching cold front continues to push eastward, stretching
from OH down to southwestern LA. Surface obs show a particularly
distinct contrast in winds ahead of and behind the front with
strong, gusty southwest winds from our local area west to the front
and strong, gusty northwest winds in its wake. National radar mosaic
shows a narrow line of thunderstorms ahead of the cold front.
Scattered convection may develop ahead of the line locally in the
late afternoon/evening hours, but the main line won't begin to cross
through until around 9 PM CT.

The dynamics for this system are potent for neighbors to our north,
but as the front approaches our local area, instability will be
dropping quickly and the low level, mid and upper level jets will be
lifting northeastward. Deep layer shear will peak around 60 kts
coinciding with the frontal passage, so isolated damaging winds will
be possible with these thunderstorms as they come through. SPC has
highlighted northwestern portions of our area in a marginal risk for
tonight.

.SHORT TERM [Thursday Through Friday Night]...

The eastern CONUS trough will gradually lift out of the Southeast
through Friday night. While showers associated with the
aforementioned cold front will be just clearing the southeast Big
Bend around dawn Thursday, some higher resolution guidance
suggests that a slug of isentropic ascent between 10-15kft will
result in some light post-frontal rain along and southeast of a
line from Valdosta through Apalachicola. All rain should come to
an end by Thursday evening. Highs and lows will be much closer to
normal Thursday through Friday night, with highs in the 60s and
overnight lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s.

.LONG TERM [Saturday Through Wednesday]...

Deep layer ridging will prevail through Tuesday morning, with no
rain, and temperatures climbing back to above average values. The
next frontal system will approach the region Tuesday, possibly
bringing rain by Tuesday afternoon through the day Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 18Z Thursday]...

MVFR cigs may hang in through tonight across parts of N FL including
ECP and TLH, but our AL and GA terminals will see a brief improvement
to VFR for the afternoon. As a cold front crosses into the area,
low clouds will move in overnight, starting near DHN around 03Z,
along with showers and isolated thunderstorms. In the early
morning hours, behind the front, winds will become more northerly.
Cigs are expected to improve to VFR levels a few hours behind the
frontal passage.

&&

.MARINE...

Advisory level winds will overspread the northeast Gulf late
tonight behind a cold front, with on and off Advisory/Cautionary
conditions prevailing through early next week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Much drier air will move into the area behind a cold front for
Thursday and Friday. However, at this time, winds and ERC values
do not appear to meet red flag criteria.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Rainfall amounts through Thursday are expected to be less than a
half of an inch. This will have little to no impact on area rivers
and creeks. Water levels should continue to fall or hold steady.
