AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 1245 AM EDT SAT APR 23 2005 THUNDERSTORM WATCH ISSUED UNTIL 4 AM EDT (3 AM CDT) FOR EASTERN MOST FLA PANHANDLE..ALL OF BIG BEND AND SOUTHERN HALF OF SW/SCNTRL GA. THUNDERSTORM WATCH PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT FOR SE ALA/GA HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED... PRONOUNCED LINE ECHO WAVE PATTERN WITH CLUSTER OF BOWING SEGMENTS EXITING SE ALA AT 45 KTS AND AND MOVING INTO NE FLA/SW/SCNTRL GA. REAR INFLOW JET HIGHLIGHTS POTENTIAL OF DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL NEXT FEW HOURS. BLOCK .PREV DISCUSSION... .CURRENTLY...LINES OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. TORNADOES MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME STORMS...BUT WILL BE ISOLATED. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THESE LINES OF STORMS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. THE FRONTAL SYSTEM REMAINS WEST OF THE AREA OVER NORTHERN AL AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE CLOSER TO THE REGION THIS EVENING AND INTO THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING. && .UPDATES...THE ZFP WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED TO RAISE THE POPS FOR GA, AL AND FL PANHANDLE ZONES TONIGHT. WILL INCREASE THE SEAS TO BETTER MATCH THE WINDS IN THE CWF. && PREV DISCUSSION 322 PM EDT FRI APR 22 2005 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...PRIMARY CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SPC HAS OUR ALABAMA AND SOME OF OUR WESTERN GEORGIA COUNTIES IN A MODERATE RISK. REMAINDER OF FORECAST AREA IN SLIGHT RISK. LOOKING AT A MESOANALYSIS ACROSS THE REGION AT 16Z REVEALS A PUSH OF MORE MOIST AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST MOVING INTO THESE COUNTIES AHEAD OF AN ALREADY STRONG TO SEVERE LINE OF CONVECTION. LATEST RADAR IMAGE FROM KMOB IS SHOWING VERY WEAK RETURNS OVER SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...BUT EXPECT THAT AS THE HEATING INCREASES IN THE ALREADY JUICY ATMOSPHERE...WILL SEE SEVERAL STORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP. SEVERE PARAMETERS ARE VERY FAVORABLE WITH GOES SOUNDER INDICATING LIS NEAR -6 ACROSS A VAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. MOREOVER...CAPES ARE FORECASTED TO BE IN THE 1500 TO 2000 J/KG RANGE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT FOR SEVERE WEATHER FANS IS THE LIMITED DYNAMICS. 850 JET ONLY APPROACHES 35KTS OVER OUR NORTHERN FORECAST AREA. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A STRONGER JET DEVELOP TO SEE A MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE THREAT. SINCE WE HAVE WEAKER DYNAMICS AND MORE INSTABILITY...WILL PROBABLY SEE THUNDERSTORMS BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY EARLY. THEN LATER TONIGHT...WILL PROBABLY SEE A MORE ORGANIZED BOWING LINE SEGMENT OR MCS MOVE THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA. CONSIDERING UPSTREAM REPORTS OF HAIL TO 1 INCH IN DIAMETER WITH MANY OF THE SEVERE STORMS...WILL MENTION THIS IN ZONES FOR TONIGHT AND HIGHLIGHT THE UPCOMING SEVERE THREAT. WILL TAPER POPS 70 NW TO 40 SE DURING THE EVENT. THIS IS DUE TO MOST OF THE ENERGETICS REMAINING ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES. BOTH THE MODELS...NAM AND GFS...INDICATE THAT THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION AROUND 12Z SATURDAY. AFTER THIS PASSAGE WILL SEE RAPID CLEARING AND DRYING. EXPECT DEWPOINTS TO PLUNGE INTO THE LOW 40S MANY LOCATIONS. WINDS WILL ALSO BE STRONG BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MIGHT BE NEEDED DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON SATURDAY...THIS WILL BE PASSED ON TO MIDNIGHT SHIFT. FOR SUNDAY...A SECOND SURGE OF COOL AIR MOVES IN ON SUNDAY LOWERING MAX TEMPS TO 10 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO. WITH THIS COOLER AIR PUSH AND CALMING WINDS ON SUNDAY NIGHT...EXPECT TO SEE EXTREMELY COLD AIR PUSH INTO THE REGION. CURRENT MODEL FORECAST FOR TLH IS 34 DEGREES ON THE MAV. HAVE ONLY GONE 36 IN THE CURRENT FORECAST AS MOST OF THE GUIDANCE IS IN THE MID 30S AND DO NOT WANT TO GO THIS COLD ON A DAY 3 EVENT. && .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY...BUT THEN MOVES EAST AS THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES. COLD MORNING LOWS ON MONDAY WITH SOME UPPER 30S POSSIBLE WELL INLAND N FL & SE AL SW GA. S-SE FLOW RETURNS ON TUESDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES PUSHES DYNAMICS EAST...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS & TSTMS ON TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE SURFACE & UPPER LOW ARE WELL NORTH OF THE CWA...SO SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE SLIGHT. THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THINGS OUT DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY WITH NW-N FLOW...SOME COOLER & DRY FILTERING IN. HIGH PRESSURE THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. TEMPS AGAIN STAY PLEASANT WITH MAINLY LOWS IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S BY END OF WEEK...HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S WEEK END. && .MARINE...EXPECT TO SEE WINDS AND SEAS PICK UP TONIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS SET UP BEHIND THE FRONT AROUND 15-20 KNOTS AND GUSTY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. SEAS FORECASTED BY WNAWAVE OVER THE WEEKEND PEAK AROUND 6 FEET. BY MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO HIGHLIGHTS FOR SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH RH VALUES WILL DROP TO AROUND 35 PERCENT FOR DURATIONS OF 2 TO 3 HRS FOR INLAND FL ZONES. WILL ADD REMARKS TO FWF. DUE TO 20-FT WINDS ABOVE 15 MPH AND LONG DURATIONS OF RHS BELOW 35%...WILL ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SUNDAY ACROSS OUR FLORIDA COUNTIES. && .HYDROLOGY...A FEW RIVER FCST POINTS ALONG THE AUCILLA, ST MARKS AND SUWANNEE RIVERS REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE, BUT ARE SLOWLY RECEDING. LATEST QPF INDICATES AVERAGE BASIN AMOUNTS FROM A TENTH TO AS MUCH AS A HALF INCH DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IMPACT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SEVERE STORMS LIKELY ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE TODAY AND PUSH ACROSS THE AREA FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. A SQUALL LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OR BOWING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PRECEDE THE FRONT AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL ARE THE MOST EXPECTED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. FOR THIS REASON...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS INDICATED A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT MAINLY OVER SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND TO THE NORTHWEST WHILE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WILL COVER ALL OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND FLORIDA BIG BEND. THIS DOES INCLUDE THE TALLAHASSEE AREA. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AFTER DAYBREAK SATURDAY AND CONTINUE UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS HIGHLIGHTED MOST OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...ALL OF THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND A SMALL PORTION OF THE PANHANDLE FOR A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...UNSEASONABLY COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AT LEAST CAUTIONARY CRITERIA OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY AND REMAIN AT THESE LEVELS THROUGH SUNDAY. LOW AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES MAY ENHANCE THE SPREAD OF ANY WILDFIRES THAT DEVELOP SUNDAY AND MONDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT. SPOTTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ACTIVATED UPON ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OR TORNADO WATCH FOR OUR AREA. .RIP CURRENTS... THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE BEACHES. WIND...WAVE...AND TIDAL CONDITIONS SUPPORT STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT RIP CURRENTS TODAY FOR THE WEST-FACING BEACHES OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. ONLY EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS SHOULD CONSIDER ENTERING THE WATER. ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND LOCAL OFFICIALS.
