AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 200 PM EST WED DEC 28 2005 .SYNOPSIS...WV IMAGERY SHOWS A DEEP TROUGH NOW LOCATED IN MS WITH A FRONT RUNNING FROM SOUTHERN IL DOWN THROUGH EASTERN MS AND INTO SE LA. WHAT WAS EARLIER TWO WEAK LINES OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT HAS NOW JUST BECOME ONE LINE RUNNING FROM NORTH CENTRAL GA INTO SE AL. NOT A SOLID LINE AT THE MOMENT...SCT SHRA WITH SOME ISOLD TS DVLPG MAINLY IN SE AL AND A FEW OFFSHORE AS WELL. LOOKING AT RUC DATA...IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SVR WX WILL BE JUST OFFSHORE OF PFN AND MVG INLAND INTO THE FL PANHANDLE THROUGH SE AL AND SW GA. THIS IS WHERE THE GREATEST MOISTURE EXISTS AS WELL AS AN AXIS OF INSTABILITY WITH LIS RUNNING FROM -2 TO -4. DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF ABOUT 60KTS IN THIS AREA WOULD ALSO SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME STRONGER STORMS. OVERALL...EXPECT CONVECTION TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THIS AREA IN THE NEXT FEW HRS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME ISOLD SVR WX. SPC HAS JUST ISSUED A WATCH FOR OUR ALABAMA COUNTIES AS WELL AS MOST OF OUR GA COUNTIES UNTIL 01Z. && .SHORT TERM...THIS PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST THIS EVNG AND SHOULD MAINLY BE OUT OF THE AREA JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT AT THE LATEST. A RIDGE WILL QUICKLY MOVE IN TOMORROW DRYING THINGS OUT BUT KEEPING TEMPS WARM (STAYING AROUND OR JUST ABOVE AVERAGE). DRY WX CONTINUES ON FRIDAY WITH TEMPS CLIMBING TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. .LONG TERM...WEAK RIDGING MOVES EAST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND MOISTURE SLOWLY RETURNS. A SYSTEM MVG THROUGH THE CNTRL CONUS WILL MAKE ITS WAY OVER HERE ON SATURDAY BUT FRONT STALLS IN S AL/GA WITH WEAK FLOW OVERHEAD. LINGERING INSTABILITY FROM STALLED FRONT COMBINED WITH INCREASING MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR POPS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. HIGHER POPS COME LATE MON THROUGH EARLY TUES WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM FCST TO MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH EARLY TUES. VERY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN BRINGS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR PRECIP LATE IN THE WEEK. && .MARINE...WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASING TODAY AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. EXPECT ADVISORY CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THEN DIMINISHING WINDS TOMORROW AND FRIDAY AS THE HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD. ANOTHER FRONT WILL APPROACH SATURDAY BUT REMAIN NORTH OF THE COASTAL WATERS...KEEPING WINDS IN THE 10-15KT RANGE FOR THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER FRONT WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE WATERS EARLY IN THE WEEK. && .FIRE WEATHER...RELATIVE HUMIDITIES MAY DROP TO JUST ABOVE 35 PERCENT TOMORROW AFTN...BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH OR LONG ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT RED FLAG CONDITIONS. SLIGHTLY LONGER DURATIONS OF AROUND OR JUST BELOW 35 PERCENT EXPECTED ON FRIDAY OVER INLAND PORTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND...RIGHT NOW LOOKS LIKE ONLY 3 HOUR DURATION AND WILL NOT ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS TIME. && .AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH LIFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL. AFTER THE FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO VFR TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
