Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
537 AM EDT Mon Apr 13 2020

.UPDATE...

Extended the wind advisory till 12Z and added some counties along
the eastern side including Leon and Lowndes as winds are picking
up ahead of the line of thunderstorms.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [430 AM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

Tornado watches are up for portions of the tri-state region as a
broken line of thunderstorms, edging into our SW GA/SE AL counties
currently as of 2 AM CT, aided by 1000 J/kg CAPE and a 70 kt LLJ
pumps high theta-e air into and ahead of the line. Progging the
line out places the line into our central sections in the predawn
hours and into the eastern Big Bend counties after dawn. SPC has
an enhanced risk for severe storms early this morning then slight
risk after dawn ahead of the line with all modes of severe
weather possible given the highly sheared environment. The line
appears to move south of the eastern Big Bend early to mid
afternoon and the supporting trough and dynamics move further
north and away from the region.

.SHORT TERM [Tuesday through Wednesday]...

Cold front will stall across the coastal waters and east Big Bend
as the supporting trough races northeast and ridging to the south
stops its movement southward. Good convergence with cyclonic flow
aloft will lead to good rain chances this period along and just
north of the front as it moves little through Wednesday. The upper
trough moves through Wednesday adding additional diffluence aloft
and additional heavy rainfall amounts before it gets pushed
southward in the long term.

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

A slight break in the active weather is possible late this work
week but relative cyclonic flow over much of the eastern US will
lead to additional chances for shower and thunderstorms across the
area into the weekend

.AVIATION...
[Through 06Z Tuesday]

Updated timing of arrival for line of thunderstorms based from
latest high resolution guidance to each of our TAF sites. Expect
MVFR/IFR just ahead of the line, variable strong wind gusts with
the line along with heavy thunderstorms, an hour or two of
degraded flight conditions behind the line, then decreasing
westerly winds and VFR conditions after that through the rest of
the TAF period.

.MARINE...

Hazardous marine conditions will continue today with an
improvement this evening. Today, a cold front will move from west
to east with strong thunderstorms accompanying the front. Ahead of
this line, strong onshore flow will continue. Wave heights will be
around 6 to 10 feet today with improvement tonight. Gale warning
will expire this morning, and even though winds will decrease
through the day, wave heights will remain at or above 7 feet and
the small craft advisory will be left in tact till this evening.

.FIRE WEATHER...

No hazardous fire weather conditions are expected over the next
few days.

.HYDROLOGY...

The storm system moving through is only expected to bring around
1-1.5 inches of rain across the region due to the fast movement of
the cold front. No flooding is expected with this system.

The cold front is expected to stall near the Gulf Coast and will
be a focus for additional showers and storms. There is the
possibility of an additional 2-4 inches of rain on Tuesday and
Wednesday. At the current time, most of the guidance indicates the
heaviest rain is expected to occur over North Florida, in areas
with moderate drought conditions, thus little or no flooding is
anticipated with these rainfall amounts.

For coastal flood concerns, strong onshore flow will lead to some
minor coastal flooding around the time of high tide this morning
in Apalachee Bay. Water levels of 1 to 1.5 ft MHHW are possible
around Apalachee Bay. These levels typically only impact boat
ramps along the coast.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is requested. Spotters should safely report
significant weather conditions and/or damage (while following all
local, state, and CDC guidelines) by calling the office or tweeting
us @NWSTallahassee.
