AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 305 AM EDT FRI JUN 1 2007 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME DISAGREEMENT WITH THE SHORT TERM MODELS IN HANDLING THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM NEAR THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. HOWEVER...EVEN THOUGH THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE OUTLIER...IT IS NOW SHOWING SIGNS OF TRENDING TOWARD THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTION. THAT MEANS A FORECAST TRACK FURTHER TO THE RIGHT WITH THE LOW MAKING LANDFALL SOMEWHERE IN WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA ON SATURDAY AND EMERGING INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OFF THE NORTHEAST OR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST BY SATURDAY EVENING. THIS IS THE SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE BEEN LEANING TOWARD AND UNFORTUNATELY IS LEAST FAVORABLE FOR BENEFICIAL RAIN FOR OUR REGION. STILL THE BEST OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN QUITE A WHILE...ESPECIALLY EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. WILL STAY IN LINE WITH MAV MOS GUIDANCE KEEPING AN EAST TO WEST POP GRADIENT. THUS...BUMPED UP POPS ON SATURDAY ON THE ORDER OF ABOUT 10% SATURDAY. THE SURFACE LOW SHOULD BE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC BY SUNDAY 12Z. A DIGGING UPPER TROUGH WILL SEND A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE TRI-STATE AREA LATE SUNDAY. DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DRY OUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND POPS AT BEST LOOK TO BE SLIGHT AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURE WILL BE COOLER THE NEXT FEW AFTERNOONS DUE TO THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A RIDGE OUT WEST AND A TROUGH IN THE EAST WILL GRADUALLY FLATTEN BY MID TO LATE WEEK. TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS SHOW DEEP LAYER MOISTURE RETURNING AS FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY. AT THE SURFACE...THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY WILL STALL OVER THE LOCAL AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS ALONG WITH SEA BREEZE INTERACTION WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE BOUNDARY WASHES OUT MID WEEK...SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY OVER THE FLORIDA ZONES AS THE SEA BREEZE PUSHES INLAND. && .MARINE...THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS TODAY BETWEEN A SURFACE HIGH OFF THE MID ATLANTIC AND THE DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ENTERING THE SOUTHEAST GULF TODAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO SCEC ACROSS THE OFFSHORE SEGMENTS THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY. AS THE LOW TRACKS OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA LATE SATURDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD DIMINISH BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA WINDS WILL BE FROM THE EAST TODAY AND GRADUALLY SWING CYCLONIC TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...SO FAR THE SMOKE FROM THE SOUTHEAST GA WILDFIRES HAS NOT BEEN AS THICK ACROSS SOUTHWEST GA AND SOUTHEAST AL AS IS WAS THE PAST SEVERAL NIGHTS. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY THAT IS...BUT WE DID NOT BRING THE VIS DOWN IN THE 06 UTC TAF PACKAGE AT KVLD...KABY...AND KVLD AS MUCH AS THE PREVIOUS TAF PACKAGES. WE DO THINK THAT THE VIS WILL STILL BE MOSTLY MVFR AT THESE SITES...WITH A FEW AREAS OCCASIONALLY DROPPING TO IFR. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAYTIME...EXCEPT AT KVLD WHERE MVFR VIS WILL CONTINUE IN SMOKE. RAIN CHANCES ARE STILL TOO LOW TO MENTION IN THE TAFS...BUT SOME SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE TWEB ROUTE FROM KTLH TO KTPA THIS AFTERNOON. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. && .HYDROLOGY...WE SET THE RECORD FOR THE DRIEST SPRING (MAR-MAY). IN THIS PERIOD...TALLAHASSEE ONLY HAD 2.24 INCHES OF RAIN. THIS BROKE THE OLD RECORD OF 3.35 INCHES FROM 1925. MAY WILL ALSO GO DOWN AS THE 3RD DRIEST MONTH ON RECORD. THE DRIEST MAY AT TALLAHASSEE WAS IN 1965 WHEN ONLY A TRACE OF RAIN WAS RECORDED. RECORDS DATE BACK TO 1885.

THE PERSISTENT EAST WINDS DURING THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE CREATED A STRONG CURRENT RUNNING NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE BEACHES OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND. THIS CURRENT CAN ENHANCE THE STRENGTH AND NUMBER OF RIP CURRENTS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BEACHES OF WALTON COUNTY WHERE THERE ARE MORE SAND BARS. WILDFIRES PERSIST IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...AND THE EAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THE SMOKE FROM THESE FIRES OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA. THE VISIBILITY WILL OCCASIONALLY DROP TO 2 MILES OR LESS IN AREAS OF THICKER SMOKE. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE TODAY AND TONIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST BIG BEND AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS IN THE SOUTHEAST GULF AND MOVES TOWARD THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA SATURDAY WITH GOOD CHANCES FOR RAIN OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR AREA. EVEN BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL EXTINGUISH THE WILDFIRES AND PUT AN END TO THE SMOKE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND PUSH INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED. BARRY
