.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SYNOPSIS...TS BONNIE IS SPINNING IN THE CENTRAL GULF IN A COL
REGION. TS CHARLEY IS SWEEPING WNWWD ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN. A WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH IS IN PLACE N OF THE GULF COAST. AREA RADARS SHOW
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS S OF THE PANHANDLE COAST. A BROAD
LONG WAVE TROUGH DOMINATES THE ERN HALF OF N AMERICA WITH A STRONG
SHORT WAVE MOVING SEWD ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND ANOTHER LINED
UP BEHIND IT IN CENTRAL CANADA.
&&
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRI.
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST OBVIOUSLY DOMINATED BY THE EVENTUAL
TRACK OF TS BONNIE. THE SYSTEM IS TINY, BUT CONTINUES TO GENERATE
CONVECTION AROUND ITS CENTER. UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE
FOR SOME STRENGTHENING. THE APPROACHING TROUGH SHOULD THEN PICK IT
UP AND KICK IT NEWD TOWARD US. TRACK GUIDANCE AND THE OFFICIAL TPC
FORECAST HAS BEEN QUITE CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST DAY OR SO IN
BRINGING BONNIE NEWD TO A LANDFALL IN THE FL PANHANDLE AROUND
PANAMA CITY 9 AM CDT. HOWEVER...LATEST SATELLITE PIX HINT AT SLIGHT
RIGHTWARD TURN WHICH MAY BRING IT ONSHORE SLIGHTLY TO E OF PROJECTED
PANAMA CITY. EITHER WAY...TS CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS
AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS, THE MAIN IMPACT LOCALLY WILL BE HEAVY
RAINS AND FLOODING. EVEN BEFORE WE COME UNDER THE DIRECT INFLUENCE OF
BONNIE, THE PRESENCE OF THE TROUGH AND AN UPSTREAM VORT LOBE WILL
COMBINE WITH VERY MOIST CONDITIONS (PW WELL OVER 2 INCHES) TO
PRODUCE LIKELY RAIN CHANCES TODAY. BONNIE WILL BEGIN IMPACTING OUR
WRN COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT, MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE LATEST TRACK
BISECTS OUR FORECAST AREA FROM SW TO NE ON THU. WE WILL BE HOISTING
A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH THE NEXT PACKAGE.
RADAR ESTIMATES SHOW MANY AREAS FROM I-10 N GOT OVER 2 INCHES ON
TUE. WE EXPECT SIMILAR TOTALS TODAY WITH ANOTHER 3 INCHES OR SO WITH
THE TS ITSELF. THE FLOOD THREAT IS LESS ACROSS ERN AREAS, BUT DONT
WANT TO SPLIT HAIRS AT THIS TIME DUE TO TRACK AND INTENSITY
UNCERTAINTIES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ANY UNFORESEEN STRENGTHENING
OF THE SYSTEM, OR REDUCTION IN ITS PREDICTED FORWARD SPEED AT
LANDFALL COULD RESULT IN CONDITIONS BEING WORSE THAN ANTICIPATED.
FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON BONNIE, SEE OUR LOCAL STATEMENT, HLSTLH,
WMO HEADER WTUS82 KTAE. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET,
HTTP://WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/DATA/TAE/HLSTLH. NOTE THAT ALL LETTERS UP TO
AND INCLUDING DATA ARE IN LOWER CASE.
BONNIE SHOULD BE OUT OF OUR HAIR BY THU EVENING. FOLLOWED THE GFS
SOLUTION CLOSELY FOR THU NIGHT AND FRI. THERE WILL BE DRYING FROM W
TO E IN THE WAKE OF THE SYSTEM WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE POP GRADIENT.
ALL OF THE CLOUD AND PRECIP COVERAGE WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS BELOW
NORMAL, WITH MIN TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL IN THIS TROPICAL AIRMASS.
.LONG TERM...FRI NIGHT THROUGH WED.
AFTER A BRIEF MOMENT TO EXHALE ON FRI, WE WILL NEED TO START
CONTENDING WITH CHARLEY FRI NIGHT AND SAT. THE LATEST ADVISORY
BRINGS CHARLEY TO HURRICANE STRENGTH BEFORE REACHING CUBA. THE
HURRICANE THEN CROSSES INTO THE SERN GULF THU NIGHT AND PARALLELS
THE W COAST OF THE FL PENINSULA FRI AND SAT. AT THIS TIME, WITH
LANDFALL NEAR CEDAR KEY, OUR FORECAST AREA WOULD BE ON THE WEAK SIDE
OF THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, JUST A SLIGHT WWD DEVIATION IN THE TRACK TO
THE W COULD BRING THE SYSTEM UP INTO THE APALACHEE BAY OVER THE
WEEKEND. FOR NOW, BASED ON THE OFFICIAL FORECAST, WE SHOW WINDY
CONDITIONS ONLY FOR OUR SC GA AND ERN BIG BEND ZONES.
&&
.MARINE...
TS FORCE WINDS WITH HURRICANE GUSTS FROM BONNIE EXPECTED TO SPREAD
INTO OUR WRN LEGS AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ERN LEGS ARE IN THE WATCH,
BUT WILL WORD FOR FREQUENT GUSTS TO TS FORCE ONLY. SHOULD SETTLE
BACK INTO ADVISORY CONDITIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES FURTHER INLAND INTO GA. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE THU NIGHT
INTO FRI. THEN TS FORCE WINDS FROM CHARLEY WILL AFFECT OUR ERN LEGS
SAT MORNING.

THERE WILL BE A RELATIVE LULL IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AHEAD OF APPROACHING TROPICAL STORM BONNIE. BASED ON THE CURRENT TRACK OF BONNIE...AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL COULD FALL ON PARTS OF THE PANHANDLE LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS IN THE PANHANDLE AND POSSIBLY THE BIG BEND. IN ADDITION...HURRICANE FORCE WINDS FROM BONNIE WILL BEGIN TO REACH THE GULF COASTAL WATERS AROUND MIDNIGHT AND THE PANHANDLE COAST DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS. SUSTAINED WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS COULD REACH 50 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 75 KNOTS. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 12 TO 15 FEET...IF NOT HIGHER. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. TROPICAL STORM BONNIE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL NEAR PANAMA CITY THURSDAY MORNING. BEST ESTIMATES HAVE LANDFALL OCCURRING 9 AM CDT. AS THEY STORM MOVES INLAND...WINDS WILL SUBSIDE. HOWEVER...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS FAR INLAND AS SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. THE CENTER SHOULD CROSS INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AROUND 1 PM EDT. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES WILL BE COMMON FROM THE PANHANDLE INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA BIG BEND. WINDS AND RAINS WILL DROP SHARPLY THURSDAY EVENING AS BONNIE ACCELERATES NORTHEAST. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST ON FRIDAY. THE LATEST ADVISORY ON HURRICANE CHARLEY HAS THE SYSTEM MAKING LANDFALL DOWN THE COAST IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. THUS...OUR FORECAST AREA WOULD BE ON THE WEAK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM WITH MINIMAL IMPACT. HOWEVER...JUST A SLIGHT WEST OR NORTH DEVIATION IN THE TRACK WOULD BRING THE SYSTEM CLOSER TO THE APALACHEE BAY OVER THE WEEKEND. A HURRICANE IN THE APALACHEE BAY WOULD CAUSE CONSIDERABLE STORM SURGE AND WIND DAMAGE. ALL INTERESTS IN THE FLORIDA BIG BEND ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF HURRICANE CHARLEY. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... WITH THE APPROACHING TROPICAL STORM...SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. .RIP CURRENTS... THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. WIND...WAVE...AND TIDAL CONDITIONS SUPPORT DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS BY TONIGHT. RIP CURRENTS ARE LIFE THREATENING TO ANYONE ENTERING THE WATER. ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND LOCAL OFFICIALS. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS...JETTIES...AND UNGUARDED BEACHES. 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.
