NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 30, 1:25 AM EST, 7 hours 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 225 AM EDT SAT APR 30 2005 .SYNOPSIS... WATER VAPOR IMAGES SHOW A PROGRESSIVE SRN STREAM TROUGH MOVING ACROSS NM AS OF 0330Z. THE OKOLONA MS WIND PROFILER INDICATES THAT MID AND LOWER TROPOSPHERIC WINDS HAVE INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE SE STATES SINCE THIS MORNING. THE 03Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH ERN VA...ACROSS CENTRAL TN...AND INTO NW MS AND NRN LA...WITH A WAVE ALONG THE FRONT NOTED OVER NW MS. STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION HAS BEEN OCCURRING ALONG THE FRONT WITH THE BMX 88D DOWNSTREAM SHOWING AN EXTREMELY FAVORABLE WIND PROFILE FOR TORNADOES...WITH 0-1KM SR HELICITY OVER 500 M2/S2 AND 0-1KM SHEAR OVER 40KT. && .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND MODEL PROGS BOTH INDICATE A SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THIS WAS SEEN BY SUCCESSIVE 29/12Z AND 29/18Z RUNS OF THE GFS...WHICH CONVERGED WITH THE CONSISTENT NAM SOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO TIMING HIGHEST POPS THIS EVENING. THE 30/00Z GFS THEN REVERTED TO A QUICKER SOLUTION. HAVE GENERALLY TAKEN A BLEND OF THE GFS AND MET POPS FROM THE 30/00Z MODEL SUITE. GFS CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A 50KT 850 MB JET MOVING ACROSS THE CWFA TODAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WHICH WOULD CERTAINLY ENHANCE THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT. NAM AND GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES THAT ARE STEEP ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HAIL...ESPECIALLY WHEN ADDED TO AN OVERALL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR ROTATING UPDRAFTS. ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT WITH THIS SYSTEMS CURRENT SATELLITE AND RADAR PRESENTATION IS THE LACK OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING DOWNSTREAM FROM THE MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE COMPARED TO THE OTHER SYSTEMS FROM THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THIS IMPROVES THE PROSPECTS FOR MORE INSOLATION/DESTABILIZATION LATER TODAY OVER OUR CWFA AND INCREASES THE SEVERE THREAT COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF RELATIVELY UNEVENTFUL FRONTAL PASSAGES. AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN RATHER ABRUPTLY AS A NARROW SURFACE PRESSURE RIDGE MOVES INTO THE SE USA IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT. .LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO WINDS AND TEMPERATURES THROUGH TUESDAY. && .MARINE... STILL ANTICIPATE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TODAY...WITH A SIGNIFICANT DROP-OFF IN WINDS TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. SEAS WILL OF COURSE BE A BIT SLOWER TO SUBSIDE. && .FIRE WEATHER... NO CONCERNS. BASED ON HIGHER RH VALUES EXPECTED SUNDAY WITH THE LATEST GUIDANCE...WE WILL CANCEL THE WATCH FOR THE INLAND COUNTIES OF OUR FL PANHANDLE ZONES. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
