AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 945 AM EST WED NOV 24 2004 ...TORNADO WATCH #900 IS IN EFFECT FOR THE CWA NOT INCLUDING DIXIE AND LAFAYETTE COUNTIES UNTIL 300 PM EST (200 PM CST)... .CURRENTLY.. STRONG LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO THE CWA THIS MORNING WITH SOME OF THE STORMS SEVERE CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. EXPECT STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND A POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES AND WATERSPOUTS MOVING ON SHORE. .UPDATES...FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ONLINE. WILL UPDATE FOR TORNADO WATCHES AND SEVERE WORDING IN THE TEXT FOR TODAY IN BOTH OF THE CWF AND ZFP. && .TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

FL...TORNADO WATCH #900 FOR FL PANHANDLE...WESTERN BIG BEND ZONES AND ADJACENT NEAR SHORE WATERS EFFECTIVE UNTIL 300 PM EST (200 PM CST)...NOT INCLUDING LAFAYETTE AND DIXIE COUNTY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL MARINE ZONES. && BOLINSKI .PREV DISCUSSION... 200 AM EST WED NOV 24 2004 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. TODAY - GFS REMAINS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT. POPS SHOULD BE AT LEAST CATEGORICAL AS WE GET A FAIRLY SOLID LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH. A MORE CHALLENGING ASPECT OF THE FORECAST IS DETERMINING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. PROGGED DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS LOW...BUT A REGION OF 35+ KT 0-1KM SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...WITH EVEN BETTER SHEAR REMAINING N OF THE CWFA. BEST 0-1KM FOR OUR CWFA MAY ACTUALLY BE REALIZED IN OUR ERN ZONES AFTER 00Z TONIGHT THANKS TO DECOUPLING AND THE RESULTING COMMENCEMENT OF THE NOCTURNAL LOW-LEVEL JET. HOWEVER...AS NOTED IN THE SPC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK...INSTABILITY LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER. BETTER DESTABILIZATION SHOULD OCCUR NEAR THE COAST WITH HIGHER THETA-E AIR MOVING ONSHORE. PLAN TO MENTION POSSIBLE SEVERE IN ZONES FOR TODAY. WE DO NOT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WITH THIS SYSTEM...ASIDE FROM THE LOCALIZED NUISANCE TYPE...AS THE FRONT SHOULD BE FAST MOVING AND WE HAVE HAD LITTLE ANTECEDENT RAIN COMPARED TO AREAS NORTH OF THE CWFA. TONIGHT - TAPERED POPS FROM W TO E WITH THE FRONT...WHICH SHOULD BE EXITING THE CWFA AROUND THE END OF THE PERIOD. THANKSGIVING/THURSDAY NIGHT - ASIDE FROM MORNING LEFTOVER POPS OVER OUR FAR SE ZONES...THANKSGIVING SHOULD BE CLEAR AND DRY WITH MAX TEMPERATURES AT LEAST 10 DEGREES LESS THAN TODAY. 24/00Z GUIDANCE IS COOLER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RUNS...SO WE TOOK A BLEND BETWEEN THE CURRENT FORECAST AND LATEST GUIDANCE...WHICH RESULTS IN MINIMUM TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S THURSDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. OTHER THAN BLENDING SOME MODIFIED GRIDS FROM THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY... NO CHANGES WERE MADE. && .MARINE...WE HAVE RAISED WINDS AND SEAS SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF AND IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS WAS BASED ON THE LATEST GUIDANCE...AND THE FACT THAT THE MOBILE BUOY IS ALREADY ON THE VERGE OF SCA CONDITIONS. STILL EXPECT SCA CONDITIONS TO END DURING THANKSGIVING DAY. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. A WET GROUND AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ON THE HEELS OF THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A RED FLAG WARNING ON THANKSGIVING DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY...BUT THIS IS TOO FAR OFF FOR A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AT THIS TIME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A RAPIDLY MOVING COLD FRONT. SOME STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATEST NEAR THE COAST...WHERE AN ISOLATED WATERSPOUT OR TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. DUE TO THE RAPID MOTION OF THIS SYSTEM...ONLY MINOR NUISANCE FLOODING IS EXPECTED. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS LATER TODAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THANKSGIVING THROUGH TUESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL ENHANCE THE SPREAD OF ANY WILDFIRES THAT DEVELOP. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... WITH SOME STORMS APPROACHING SEVERE LIMITS TODAY AND TONIGHT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED LATER TODAY...ESPECIALLY IF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH OR TORNADO WATCH IS ISSUED FOR THE AREA. .RIP CURRENTS... THERE IS A MODERATE THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS TODAY DUE TO STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. A RIP CURRENT IS A STRONG NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH THROUGH THE SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...WADE SIDEWAYS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF ITS PULL. TO ESCAPE... RIDE THE CURRENT OUT BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM TO SHORE OUTSIDE THE NARROW CURRENT.
