NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 26, 8:20 AM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 920 AM EDT WED APR 26 2006 .SYNOPSIS... LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...PROGRESSIVE UPPER CONUS PATTERN WITH CLOSED LOW JUST OFF CALIF COAST...ANOTHER LOW OVER HUDSON BAY AND A RIDGE CENTERED FROM OLD MEX NW INTO SRN PLAINS. SEVERAL PROMINENT SHORTWAVES...ONE LIFTING INTO NRN ROCKIES BETWEEN CALIF LOW AND OLD MEX RIDGE AND ANOTHER NEAR HUDSON BAY LOW. CLOSER TO HOME...H2 TROUGH AND WELL DEFINED SHORTWAVE WILL DRIFT ESE INTO MISS/OHIO VALLEY TODAY AND EWD INTO NRN GA THRU MIDNIGHT. SEVERAL SRN STREAM SHORTWAVES (MCSS) MOVING ACROSS GULF STATES NEXT 12 HRS INCLUDING LARGE MCS MOVING INTO SE MISS HEADED TOWARDS SRN ALA SHORTLY. COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM SRN TENN SWWD TO E TEX INTO A DEVELOPING WAVE OVER SE TEXAS. SURFACE WAVE ALONG FRONT HAS BEGUN TO DEEPEN OVER ERN MISS AND WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS ALA AND GA THIS AFTERNOON DRAGGING COLD FRONT SEWD. AHEAD OF FRONT AND MCS...HIGH DEW POINTS (MID 60S IN WARM SECTOR) ADVECTED NWD IN SWLY LOW LEVEL FLOW AND ENHANCED BY DIURNAL HEATING SPREADING THIS AFTN FROM WRN PANHANDLE ACROSS SRN GA/BIG BEND. UPSTREAM SOUNDINGS SHOW H5 50 KT JET IN BASE IN SEWD MOVING TROUGH LEADING TO INCREASING SHEAR ESPECIALLY THRU LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WHICH MAY OFFSET MODERATE LAPSE RATES... MOIST SOUNDINGS AND LESS THAN IDEAL INSTABILITY DUE TO CLOUDS COVER. UNIDIRECTIONAL SOUNDINGS PROFILES SUPPORT POSSIBLE DAMAGING WINDS. HAIL MORE QUESTIONABLE...12Z TLH SOUNDING WITH FLZ LEVEL AND WET BULB BOTH AROUND 11,900 FEET...AND BMX...FFC AND JAN UPSTREAM OBS AOA 11K FEET DO NOT SUPPORT LARGE HAIL...BUT MID LEVEL WINDS (JET) 50-55 KTS AND TAE CAPE AROUND 2000 J/KG COULD GENERATE SEVERE STORMS. THE GFS IS SURPRISINGLY MORE BULLISH ON A POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT OVER THE SOUTHEAST WHILE THE NAM IS NOT. THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY LINKED TO THE GFS AMPLIFYING THE SHORTWAVE TROF AS IT MOVES INTO THE SOUTHEAST ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES IN THE MODEL OMEGA FIELDS. AS A RESULT THIS CREATES A STRONGER LOW LEVEL JET...AROUND 40 KNOTS AT 850 MB. WITH STRONGER ONSHORE FLOW...HIGHER DEWPOINTS ARE USHERED IN CREATING BETTER SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY. THE NAM INCLUDES NEITHER OF THESE POINTS. THE NAM...DOES AMPLIFY THE SHORTWAVE AS IT APPROACHES...BUT NOT NEAR AS MUCH AS THE NAM. THE LOW LEVEL JET IS AT BEST 25 KNOTS OVER OUR FORECAST AREA AND SBCAPES ARE LESS THAN 800 J/KG IN THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING AT THE OVERALL SET UP...HARD TO BUT TOTALLY INTO GFS BUT UNLIKE YESTERDAY...BETTER CHC OF AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE WX TODAY SO I WILL USE BOTH MODELS WITH A SLIGHT FOCUS ON NAM. DUE TO SOME UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS...SPC HAS PLACED OUR ENTIRE CWA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. && .SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THIS AFTERNOON...BEST CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA WILL BE AFTER 18Z FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. IT IS AT THIS POINT THE FRONT SHOULD BE ALIGNED FROM MOB TO BMX WITH ALL THE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY OUT IN FRONT OF IT. ANY SEVERE THREAT WILL BE MOST LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WILL MENTION SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE IN UPDATED ZFP. TONIGHT...WITH THE FRONT PROGGED BY BOTH THE GFS AND NAM TO BE TRAVERSING THE CWA BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z THURS...WILL GO WITH A DECREASING TREND IN POPS FROM 00Z TO 12Z THURS. WILL HAVE HIGHEST POPS EAST AND START THEM OUT AT 60% AROUND VLD DOWN TO 30% AT DHN. SHOULD SEE THE FRONT CLEAR THE CWA AROUND DAYBREAK. WITH WINDS AND CLOUD COVER MOST OF THE NIGHT...WILL TREND TOWARD THE WARMER MAV GUIDANCE HERE. THURSDAY...WITH THE FRONT CLEARING OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING...WILL SEE CLEARING SKIES GIVING WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS BY AFTERNOON. AIRMASS WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER AND DRIER WITH MAX TEMPS ONLY REACHING UP INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S. THIS SHOULD FEEL GREAT. NO POPS IN THE FORECAST AS HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING SOUTH OVER THE REGION. && .MARINE...GUIDANCE AND UPSTREAM OBS SHOW AN INCREASING TREND IN WINDS AND SEAS THROUGH THE DAY...AND WILL INSERT SCEC HEADLINES FOR LATE AFTERNOON OVER WRN WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS COULD BE HIGHER THAN FORECAST IN AND AROUND ANY THUNDERSTORMS. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TODAY AS MUCH NEEDED RAIN IS ON ITS WAY. && .AVIATION...DURING THE INITIAL TAF PERIOD...WE ANTICIPATE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH A FEW SPRINKLES AROUND VLD. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ENE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MIDDAY...BUT COVERAGE WILL BE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS...LOOK FOR POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS FOR TS. LCL AREAS OF MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS CONVECTION MOVES IN FROM THE W. WIND GUSTS OF 25-30 KT WILL BE COMMON IN ANY TS. MODEL TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING LOW CLOUDS AFTER THIS EVENINGS FRONTAL PASSAGE, WHICH SHOULD OCCUR 00-06Z, SO WE LEFT MVFR/IFR CIGS IN THERE THROUGH 12Z. && .TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. GA...NONE. FL...NONE. AVIATION/FIRE WX...WOOL/HICKS PUBLIC/MARINE...BLOCK

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY BRINGING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...SEVERAL OF THE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR APPEARS TO BE A LACK OF INSTABILITY DUE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY IS PRESENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND BEACHES. ONLY THOSE EXPERIENCED IN SWIMMING IN THE SURF SHOULD ENTER THE WATER TODAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM. FOR THIS REASON...ONLY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... WITH A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
