NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 8:17 AM EST, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 917 AM EDT MON JUN 30 2008 .DISCUSSION...THE LONG WAVE PATTERN REMAINS UNSEASONABLY AMPLIFIED THIS MORNING WITH A RIDGE AXIS OVER THE ROCKIES AND A TROUGH IN THE E. A STRONG SHORT WAVE IS NOW ROTATING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE ERN TROUGH AND THIS WILL HELP TO AMPLIFY IT FURTHER TODAY. THIS SHOULD GET THE FRONT MOVING AGAIN...WHICH IS CURRENTLY STALLED ACROSS NRN GA AND CENTRAL AL. THERE IS ALSO A WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVING EWD ALONG THE GULF COAST AND THIS HAS SPARKED CONVECTION ALREADY THIS MORNING OVER OUR NWRN ZONES. THE 12Z KTAE SOUNDING SHOWS THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS STILL JUICED WITH THE PW UP AROUND 1.9 INCHES. WE MODIFIED THE SOUNDING FOR AN AFTERNOON PARCEL OF 86/67 AND GOT SBCAPE OF ABOUT 1800 J/KG AND MLCAPE OF 2000 J/KG. WHILE THE DEEP LAYER WESTERLIES ARE NOT AS STRONG AS YESTERDAY, THERE IS STILL SUFFICIENT FLOW THAT, WHEN COMBINED WITH THE MODERATE INSTABILITY AND APPROACHING SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY, SHOULD TOUCH OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY. NWRN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ARE GETTING WORKED OVER EARLY, SO THE SEVERE THREAT IS LESS THERE. HOWEVER, AREAS TO THE E ARE GETTING SOME GOOD SUN AND THIS SHOULD ASSIST IN THE STRENGTHENING OF STORMS AS THEY MOVE E TODAY. ALL OF THIS IS OUTLINED NICELY IN THE RECENTLY UPDATED CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FROM SPC THAT NOW SHOWS A SLIGHT RISK AREA THAT INCLUDES OUR FL BIG BEND AND MUCH OF OUR S CENTRAL AND SW GA ZONES. THE HAZARDOUS WX OUTLOOK WILL BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS RISK. HOWEVER...THE TEXT AND GRAPHICAL PRODUCTS ALREADY INDICATE THE THREAT AND ARE GOOD TO GO. && .MARINE...OUTSIDE ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN 10 KT OR LESS AND 2 FT OR LESS RESPECTIVELY. && .AVIATION...LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING SOUTHEAST ALABAMA INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND THE EASTERN FL PANHANDLE THIS MORNING. GENERAL MVFR/TEMPO IFR VIS/CIG FOR KDHN AND KABY THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING WITH ACTIVITY BECOME MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND THEN ENDING BY THIS EVENING. FURTHER SOUTH TOWARD KPFN AND KTLH AND KVLD ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE INTO THE LATER MORNING HOURS AND LIKELY BE AROUND FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. A FEW STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS OVER 35 KNOTS. GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT FOR KDHN AND KABY AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN FROM THE NORTH. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE FROM KTLH TO KVLD HOWEVER ACTIVITY WILL BE DIMINISHING IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE. BELOW NORMAL DAY IN TERMS OF CONVECTION FOR TUESDAY WITH VERY SLIGHT CHANCES FOR THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN TERMINALS AND ONLY 30% CHANCES FROM KTLH TO KVLD. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS TODAY. HOWEVER...DRIER AIR WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE WEAK COLD FRONT FOR TUE AND WED. THE CURRENT FORECAST HAS DEW POINTS HIGHER THAN ANY MOS. WE WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS THIS AFTERNOON. IF THE MOS VERIFIES, WE COULD GET MARGINAL DURATIONS ACROSS OUR INLAND FL ZONES BOTH DAYS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 218 AM EDT MON JUN 30 2008 SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY). THE COLD FRONT THAT IS LOCATED JUST NORTHEAST OF OUR REGION AT DAYBREAK WILL GRADUALLY SAG SOUTHWARD AND LIE ACROSS THE CWA BY THE AFTERNOON. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HELP SERVE AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR DEVELOPING CONVECTION...BOTH IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. AS INDICATED BY BOTH THE NAM AND GFS...WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER EARLY START TO SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE REGION. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE OVERALL PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVIEST QPF IN BOTH MODELS. GIVEN THIS AGREEMENT...HAVE DECIDED TO RAISE POPS IN FLORIDA AND EXTREME SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO THE 70 PERCENT RANGE. WITH SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO OUR NORTHERN ZONES THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WILL SHOW LOWER POPS...GENERALLY 50 PERCENT OR SO THERE. ANOTHER CONCERN FOR TODAY IS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. ON SUNDAY...THERE WERE A FEW SEVERE REPORTS ACROSS OUR REGION... PARTICULARLY IN THE FLA PANHANDLE. ENVIRONMENTAL WIND FIELDS ARE NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS WHAT WAS OBSERVED ON SUNDAY. 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES FOR SUNDAY WERE HOVERING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 KNOTS. MODEL SOUNDINGS TODAY SHOW A SLIGHTLY LIGHTER FLOW...25 TO 30 KNOTS IN THE 0-6KM LAYER. MODIFIED MODEL SOUNDINGS IN THE NAM/GFS TO 86/69 YIELD AROUND 1900 J/KG OF SBCAPE. WITH SUNDAYS SHEAR VALUES ONLY MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS..AND THE SLIGHTLY WEAKER FLOW TODAY...EXPECT THE OVERALL THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO BE ISOLATED...AND STORMS TO BE CLOSER TO A PULSE MODE. THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES SHOW WEAK LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...ESSENTIALLY MOIST ADIABATIC GIVEN A NEARLY SATURATED COLUMN FROM THE SURFACE TO 300 MB...SO WET MICROBURSTS WITH GUSTY TO DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT TODAY. WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE WORDING IN THE ZONES AND GRIDS...ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN FLORIDA WHERE THE THREAT APPEARS MAXIMIZED. BEYOND TODAY...DIFFERENCES APPEAR WITH RESPECT TO THE EVENTUAL MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT. RARELY DO COLD FRONTS MAKE IT INTO THE DEEP SOUTH THIS TIME OF YEAR...AND RARER STILL...DO THEY ACTUALLY PASS THROUGH OUR CWA BRINGING IN A DRIER AIRMASS. THE NAM SOLUTION IS MORE ROBUST AND AFFORDS GREATER CLEARING FOR THE NORTHWESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF OUR CWA. HOWEVER...THE EURO HANGS THE FRONT ACROSS OUR CWA. THE GFS SOLUTION IS SOMEWHAT OF A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THESE TWO EXTREMES. THE GFS SOLUTION SHOWS THE FRONT LOSING ITS IDENTITY ON TUESDAY WITH ANY SIGNIFICANT DRIER AIR CONFINED TO OUR FAR NORTHERN ZONES. BASED ON THIS...WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE POPS IN OUR FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN THE SE FLA BIG BEND. WILL SHOW A GRADUAL WARMING TREND INTO WEDNESDAY WHEN THE LOCAL WEATHER PATTERN BECOMES DOMINATED BY THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION AS THE COLD FRONT COMPLETELY DISSIPATES AND THE EASTERN CONUS TROF WEAKENS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY). BEGINNING OF EXTENDED PERIOD WILL FEATURE WEAKENING REMNANT OF LONG WAVE TROUGH CONTINUING TO LINGER OVER THE SOUTHEAST. LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL REBUILD ACROSS THE CWA THURSDAY WITH DEEP MOISTURE GRADUALLY INCREASING. SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK IN ALOFT BY FRIDAY WITH UPPER TROUGH BECOMING ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. PATTERN WILL FEATURE ONSHORE LOW LEVEL FLOW WHICH SHOULD MAINTAIN DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION EACH DAY WITH BEST RAIN CHANCES DICTATED BY LOW LEVEL MEAN FLOW. OVERALL A MUCH MORE TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN THAN IN THE SHORT TERM. FOR POPS IN THE EXTENDED...WILL GENERALLY GO NEAR CLIMO. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR CLIMO AS WELL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA... SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE...AND THE ADJACENT GULF COASTAL WATERS. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN AFFECT THE REGION TODAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT WILL TAP INTO A MOIST MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT TO PRODUCE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND ADJACENT AREAS IN FAR SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE HAVE GOTTEN SHOWERS AND STORM EARLY AND THIS SHOULD KEEP THINGS FROM DESTABILIZING AS MUCH LATER ON TODAY. HOWEVER...FURTHER TO THE EAST...PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WILL RESULT IN SOME GREATER INSTABILITY. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THE STORMS IN THE OUTLOOK AREA WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE WHICH MAY CAUSE MINOR FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS. AS ON MANY SUMMER DAYS...A BRIEF WATERSPOUT IS POSSIBLE OVER THE WATERS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO TODAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... THE COLD FRONT WILL DISSIPATE OVER OUR REGION ON TUESDAY WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH ON WEDNESDAY. SCATTERED STORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST FROM TUESDAY INTO THE COMING WEEKEND AS THE LOCAL WEATHER PATTERN IS ONCE AGAIN DOMINATED BY THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION. AT THIS TIME...WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED...HOWEVER...ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS IN THE SUMMERTIME IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
