What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 15, 11:26 AM CST, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 11:26 AM CST, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 1226 PM EST Wed Jan 15 2020 .AVIATION... [Through 18Z Thursday] DHN is the last Terminal holding on to MVFR visibility conditions, but is expected to improve to VFR conditions over the next hour. VFR conditions are expected to remain at all terminals until the overnight hours, where low visibilities will once again plague all terminals. Expect LIFR conditions with visibilities once again dropping to between 1/2 and 1/4 mile visibility at times. Conditions are expected to slowly improve through the morning hours. && .PREV DISCUSSION [1032 AM EST]... .NEAR TERM [Through Today]... A dense fog advisory remains in effect until mid morning. After the fog dissipates we expect skies to be mostly cloudy with moist southerly flow in the low levels and westerly flow aloft. Forecast soundings show PW's across our CWA ranging from 1.50" northwest 1.20" southeast. PoPs will be tapered low end chance (30%) northwest to < 10% far southeast. Rain will be patchy and light with low QPF amounts. Temps will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s. .SHORT TERM [Tonight through Friday]... Dense fog will remain a possibility again tonight as a warm and moist airmass for this time of year remains in place. A cold front will move south into the area on Thursday, but dynamics will be weak with this system, so only a slight chance of showers is expected. Low rain chances will sag south with the front as it reaches the northern Gulf Thursday night. Some cooler and drier air will be on the heels of the front. .LONG TERM [Friday Night Through Wednesday]... A stronger front is expected to arrive on Saturday with higher rain chances across the area. Instability appears limited to right along the coast and offshore, so a mention of thunderstorms was limited to those areas. Severe weather is not currently expected with this system. Behind this front, much cooler and drier air will arrive for the beginning of the next work week. Temperatures will be below average for the month of January and low temperatures will be approaching or below freezing Monday and Tuesday nights. Highs early next week will be in the upper 40s to lower 50s for most of the area. .MARINE... Fog will continue to be a concern through Thursday, especially across the nearshore waters and near the coast where occasional visibilities will be less than one mile. The best time for the reduced visibilities will be in the overnight hours. Winds and seas will remain favorable through Thursday night, at which time winds and seas in the offshore waters will be in the cautionary range. Winds and seas may increase to near advisory levels as the next cold front approaches Friday and Saturday. .FIRE WEATHER... There are no hazardous fire weather conditions expected. .HYDROLOGY... Rainfall amounts over the next seven days are expected to be an inch or less. As a result, there are no flooding concerns for the next seven days with the possible exception of the Apalachicola River at Blountstown. That will depend on future dam releases upstream. .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
