AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 216 PM EDT WED MAY 10 2006 .SYNOPSIS...MCSS ARE LINING UP TO OUR NW THIS AFTN. THE FIRST ONE APPROACHED OUR SE AL COUNTIES THIS MORNING AND HAS FIZZLED OUT AS IT CURRENTLY MOVES INTO CNTRL GA. THE SECOND MCS IS UP IN NORTHERN AL AND THE OTHER IS NOW ENTERING WESTERN MS. AS THESE SECOND TWO CONTINUE TO THE ESE...ALSO ANTICIPATING THEM TO DVLP FURTHER SOUTHWARD ESP THE INTENSE LINE CURRENTLY IN NW MS. CURRENT WATCH FOR SE AL HAS EXPIRED BUT AS LONG AS THE MCSS HOLD TOGETHER AND CONTINUE TO PUSH SE-WARD (WHICH IS WHAT WERE COUNTING ON) ANOTHER WATCH WILL MOST LIKELY BE ISSUED THIS AFTN. && .SHORT TERM...ALL MODELS SEEM TO BE OUT TO LUNCH WITH THE RECENT AND ONGOING CONVECTION AND THEREFORE HAVE BASED SHORT TERM POPS ON RADAR TRENDS...SFC ANALYSIS AND HISTORY. HAVE THEREFORE WENT WITH LIKELY POPS THIS EVNG...EXPECT THE MCS(S) TO DROP DOWN TOWARDS OUR AREA AS WELL AS DVLP FURTHER SOUTH AND MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA THIS EVENING THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WITH CURRENT HELICITIES IN THE MS MCS AROUND 400-550 M2/S2...EXPECT THERE TO BE TORNADO THREATS AS WELL. 50-55KT 0-6KM SHEAR ALSO WOULD SUPPORT HAIL- PRODUCING UPDRAFTS. AFTER 06Z...THINGS ARE A LITTLE UNCLEAR. OF COURSE THE NAM AND GFS GO WITH VERY LOW POPS...BUT THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN VERY WRONG THE PAST FEW NIGHTS FOR THIS TIME FRAME AND WITH THE FRONT PROGGED TO BE JUST TO OUR NW...I BELIEVE I WILL AT LEAST GO WITH MID-RANGE CHANCE POPS FOR MOST AREAS. WHILE SVR THREAT SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT DIMINISHED...I THINK THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO MAINTAIN ONGOING SHRA AND TSRA THROUGH THE MORNING HRS. FRONT LOOKS TO PASS THROUGH THE CWA BETWEEN 12-16Z (8AM-12PM EDT) TOMORROW MORNING WITH SOME LINGERING CLOUDS BEHIND BASED ON CURRENT SAT IMAGERY...THEN CLEARING TOMORROW EVNG INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WENT WITH AN AVG OF THE TIGHTLY CLUSTERED GUIDANCE FOR MIN TEMPS TOMORROW NIGHT ALTHOUGH IF THE CLOUDS DO STICK AROUND LONGER WE MAY HAVE TO INCREASE THEM SOME. FRIDAY SHOULD BE A GREAT DAY AFTER THIS WEEK OF ALMOST CONTINUOUS RAIN/SVR WX...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH HIGHS IN THE UPR 70S TO LWR 80S. .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... HI OVER CWFA AND MOSTLY DRY SATURDAY...THEN HIGH SHIFTS INTO ATLC ON SUNDAY. NEWEST RUNS SHOWS UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE ROTATES AROUND BASE OF MS/TENN VALLEY CLOSED LOW DRAGGING COLD FRONT TO PANHANDLE. BY SUNDAY EVENING...LARGE SCALE EAST COAST TROUGH TAKING SHAPE. INCREASING POPS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. WITH POSSIBLE SEVERE WX ON SUNDAY. THIS REFLECTED IN EXTENDED POPS. FRONT EXITS LATE SUNDAY AND TROF MOVES OFFSHORE REPLACED BY RIDGE WITH IMPROVING WX INTO MID-WORK WEEK. && .MARINE...BASED ON BUOY DATA TO THE WEST...EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE TO AT LEAST CAUTION CRITERIA IN OUR OFFSHORE WATERS WEST OF APALACHICOLA THIS EVENING. THESE STRONGER WINDS MAY ALSO EXTEND INTO OUR NEAR SHORE WATERS LATER TONIGHT...WILL WAIT UNTIL CLOSER TO ISSUANCE TIME TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO INCLUDE THOSE AREAS OR NOT. BY TOMORROW MORNING...IT APPEARS THAT WINDS WILL BE AROUND 20-25KTS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AND WILL LIKELY HAVE TO ISSUE ADVISORY ON TONIGHTS UPDATE OR TOMORROW MORNINGS ISSUANCE. ADVISORY CONDITIONS SHOULDNT LAST TOO LONG...ALTHOUGH SEAS MIGHT TAKE A BIT TO COME DOWN...AND ADVISORY SHOULD END BY MID TO LATE MORNING TOMORROW. && .FIRE WEATHER...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR FLORIDA IS LIKELY FOR FRIDAY BUT HAVE OPTED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL TOMORROW TO ISSUE DUE TO IMPENDING SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT. LOOKS LIKE DEW PTS WILL INCREASE ENOUGH BY SATURDAY TO BRING RELATIVE HUMIDITIES UP TO ABOVE 35 PERCENT. && .AVIATION...EXPECT GUSTY SURFACE WINDS AND DEVELOPING LIFR CIGS AND VSBYS AS A SQUALL LINE WITH STRONG THUNDERSTORMS SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT FROM WEST TO EAST ON THURSDAY MORNING. EXPECT LINGERING IFR VSBYS AND LIFR CIGS FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL HOURS FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...AS INDICATED IN THE LATEST TAFS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
