NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 19, 1:00 PM EST, 4 hours 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 200 PM EDT WED APR 19 2006 .SYNOPSIS...SKIES CONTINUE TO BREAK OUT BEHIND THE WARM FRONT WHICH IS SLOWLY MOVING BACK OFF TO THE NE...WITH A FRESH CU FIELD BEGINNING TO DEVELOP IN THE MORE HUMID AIR. MOST OF THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT IS STILL WELL TO THE N OF THE CWA...AND IT IS SLIDING SE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. TEMPS HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOWER TO RESPOND TODAY THAN ON TUE...BUT STILL EXPECT HIGHS TO APPROACH 90 DEGREES BEFORE THE DAY IS THROUGH. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS CONTINUE. && .SHORT TERM...LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FCST PACKAGE THIS PERIOD...AS WEAK SFC RIDGING OVER THE N GULF OF MEXICO WILL HOLD THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW OUR UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO PERSIST AT LEAST UNTIL THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST BY FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY. AS AN UPDATE TO THE EARLIER LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW...THE NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE IS NOW LOOKING INCREASINGLY CLEAN WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE RUN OF THE GFS AND NAM. WILL NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR CHANGES AT THIS TIME...BUT EXPECT THAT THE NEXT SHIFT CAN REDUCE PARTS OF THE EXTENDED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY. BACK TO TONIGHT...WILL PLAN ON USING THIS EVENING WORDING ONCE AGAIN TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE SPAWNED FROM SOUTHWARD PROPAGATING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BE OVER NE SECTIONS OF SW GEORGIA...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED STORMS ELSEWHERE AS WELL. && .LONG TERM...A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE CWA LATE SATURDAY. LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL NOT BE A CLEAN FROPA...SO POPS WERE INCREASED FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THROUGH SATURDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON TUESDAY TO INCREASE POPS...ESPECIALLY FOR THE NORTHERN ZONES. && .MARINE...THE SUMMER DOLDRUMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...WITH AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...AS DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE MID 60S. && .AVIATION...EXPECT VFR CIGS THIS AFTN OVER INLAND TAF SITES. ISOLD TSRA WILL DEVELOP AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION OVER NRN/CNTRL GA PUSHES SWD...WITH VCTS FOR DHN...ABY...TLH AND VLD TAF SITES DURING THE LATE AFTN-EARLY EVENING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG TS WITH GUSTY WINDS...TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND SMALL HAIL. THE CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. LOW CIGS WILL DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH PATCHY FOG CREATING IFR-OCNL LIFR VSBYS TOWARD MORNING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SOME AREAS WILL SEE LOW CEILINGS AND PATCHY DENSE FOG EARLY THIS MORNING WHICH WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN HALF A MILE. AFTER THE FOG DISSIPATES...EXPECT ANOTHER UNSEASONABLY WARM DAY FOR THE LOCAL AREA WITH NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90. A BACK-DOOR FRONT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL HELP TO GENERATE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE AND THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER INDICATES A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...AND SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. THERE IS ALSO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE COAST. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE FORECAST AREA. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY. ANOTHER FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS WEEKEND...LEADING TO RAIN CHANCES AROUND 30 PERCENT CHANCE FOR SATURDAY. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... GENERAL SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED...SO SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SELF ACTIVATE IF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP IN THEIR AREA...OR ANY WATCHES ARE ISSUED.
