Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
653 AM EDT Wed Oct 10 2018

.AVIATION [Through 12Z Thursday]...

Conditions will continue to deteriorate from south to north
across area terminals this morning into the afternoon as
Hurricane Michael moves closer and eventually inland across the
Florida panhandle. Winds will increase with lowering ceilings as
bands of convection move through the region. We will see gradual
improvement late tonight into Thursday morning.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [439 AM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Today through Tonight]...

Key Points...

1. Hurricane Michael is expected to make landfall as a Category 4
Hurricane along the Florida Panhandle or western Big Bend today as a
storm of unprecedented strength for this area. Conditions will
continue deteriorating through this afternoon and evening.

2. The greatest threats include the danger of life threatening storm
surge along the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend coastlines and
damaging winds that will result in widespread power outages that may
last days to even more than a week in some areas. In addition,
river flooding and flash flooding and a few tornadoes are expected.

3. The time to prepare is ending. Be prepared to shelter in place
for a long duration of time. As winds increase or a Tornado Warning
is issued be prepared to get to a small interior room away from
outside walls.

Today and tonight is when the greatest, catastrophic impacts from
Hurricane Michael will be felt across the area. Michael is forecast
to be a category 4 hurricane when it makes landfall along the
Florida Panhandle or western Big Bend this afternoon. Based on
historical data, a hurricane of this strength has NEVER made
landfall in this region and thus this is an event that will have
unprecedented impacts. Bands from Hurricane Michael are already
moving onshore. Be prepared for tornadoes in these
 and have a safe interior room to go when when either a Tornado
Warning is issued or the devestating winds from Michael move
onshore.

Life threatening storm surge, downed trees and power lines causing
widespread and long lasting power outages, structural damage impacting
homes and businesses, river flooding and flash flooding, and a few
tornadoes are all expected.

.SHORT TERM [Thursday Through Friday]...

In the wake of the departing hurricane, Thursday will be hot and
very humid with heat indices approaching 100 degrees, especially
over the Florida zones. This will be very uncomfortable
particularly for those residents who are without power due to
Hurricane Michael. Some relief will arrive Thursday night and
Friday as a the first cold front of this fall season sweeps
through the region. Highs on Thursday will be in the mid 80s to
around 90 with highs on Friday ranging from the upper 70s
northwest to mid 80s southeast. Lows Thursday night will range
from the mid 50s northwest to mid 60s southeast.

.LONG TERM [Friday Night Through Wednesday]...

A dry stretch of weather with seasonal temperatures for mid
October is forecast to continue at least through the weekend. For
Monday through Tuesday, a complex pattern sets up which leads to
uncertainty in the sensible weather details. The area will reside
between a cold front approaching from the west, high pressure
nosing down the eastern seaboard, and greater subtropical moisture
to the east. This leads to the potential for increased shower
activity during this period.

.MARINE...

Hurricane Michael is expected to have a major impact on the area.
Hurricane conditions are expected with the worst conditions today
and tonight.

.FIRE WEATHER...

Aside from high dispersion values today, there are no other fire
weather concerns.

.HYDROLOGY...

Given the track and intensity of Hurricane Michael, widespread rainfall
totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated 12 inch amounts are
possible. The highest of these totals will be in the Florida
panhandle and western Big Bend counties along and to the east of
the track of Michael. These rainfall amounts will result in flash
flooding.

At this time, flood warnings are in effect for portions of the Chipola,
Choctawhatchee, Ochlockonee, and St. Marks Rivers. Despite
current river conditions below normal levels, with the forecast
rainfall, expect additional river basins to rise above flood
stage.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is requested. Spotters should safely report
significant weather conditions and/or damage by calling the office or
tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.
