Damaging Wind in Florida, January 7, 2009

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
306 AM EST WED JAN 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...04 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY AND INTO COASTAL PORTIONS OF ALABAMA. A
STRONG LINE OF STORMS WAS ONGOING AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVING INTO OUR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND FLORIDA PANHANDLE COUNTIES.
THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT IS QUITE
IMPRESSIVE WITH SUSTAINED SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS
OCCASIONALLY GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT
INFLUX OF DEWPOINTS INTO THE UPPER 60S AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. WHILE
WE DONT SEE AN ESPECIALLY SHARP DEWPOINT GRADIENT BEHIND THE
FRONT...SOME DRIER AIR WILL BE GRADUALLY MOVING INTO THE REGION OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

UPPER AIR DATA FROM 00 UTC AND VAPOR IMAGERY SINCE THAT TIME
CONTINUES TO INDICATE A DEEP TROF MOVING ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY. THIS TROF WILL LIKELY WEAKEN SOME AS IT NEARS THE
EASTERN U.S. AND AS A RESULT...THE ONGOING LINE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE DYNAMICAL FORCING BECOMES LESS
FAVORABLE.

WHILE TORNADO WATCH #5 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12Z FOR THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF OUR CWA...WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO CLEAR SOME OF THE
COUNTIES WITH THE 4 AM EST MORNING PACKAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
WILL TRY TO KEEP THIS BRIEF WITH ONGOING ACTIVE WEATHER THIS
MORNING. RADAR DATA FROM KTLH AND OTHER SITES SHOWS A NARROW LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR
REGION. THESE STORMS JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE EASTWARD THIS MORNING. IT IS EXPECTED THAT WITH A GRADUAL
WEAKENING OF THE DEEP TROF THAT THE OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE
LINE...IF NOT THE COVERAGE...WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE WITH TIME
THROUGH THE MORNING. WITH THIS WEAKENING TREND...THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL ALSO SUBSIDE BY MID MORNING. THUS...HAVE SET UP
CURRENT POP GRIDS FOR THE FIRST PERIOD BASED ON RADAR TRENDS OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THE ASSOCIATED GUIDANCE MAY BE MOVING THIS
SYSTEM A BIT TOO FAST TO THE EAST...SO HAVE STAYED ABOVE THE MAV
GUIDANCE FOR THE FIRST PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

THERE IS CONCERN TODAY ABOUT STRONG NON-THUNDERSTORM WINDS IN THE
AFTERNOON BEHIND THIS STORM SYSTEM. IN FACT...LATEST SURFACE DATA
FROM WESTERN LOUISIANA IS ALREADY SHOWING STRONG WINDS THERE IN THE
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS. WITH THESE STRONGER WINDS LIKELY TO SPREAD
EASTWARD WITH TIME AND COMBINE WITH ANY AFTERNOON MIXING IN OUR
REGION...WILL LIKELY SEE WINDS CLOSER TO THE GFS FORECAST OF 20 TO
25 KNOTS SUSTAINED WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THIS IS ON THE HIGHER END OF
OUR LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. IF THESE WINDS WERE JUST A LITTLE
BIT HIGHER...WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE ACHIEVED...BUT GIVEN THAT
THERE IS JUST A LITTLE UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO HOW STRONG THE
WINDS WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON...WILL ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
ALL COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON AND LET THE INCOMING SHIFT MONITOR
CONDITIONS AND UPGRADE AS APPROPRIATE.

HIGH SURF ALONG OUR PANHANDLE BEACHES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EROSION
EXISTS TODAY. GIVEN THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW...EXPECT BEACHES FROM
PANAMA CITY BEACH AND SAINT ANDREW BAY STATE PARK EASTWARD TO CAPE
SAN BLAS AND THE WESTERN PORTION OF SAINT GEORGE ISLAND TO BEAR THE
BRUNT OF THE HIGH SURF. BASED ON OUR LOCALLY DEVELOPED SURF HEIGHT
MODEL...THE HIGHEST SURF IS PREDICTED FROM MEXICO BEACH DOWN TO THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF CAPE SAN BLAS. IN THIS AREA...SURF HEIGHTS WILL
APPROACH 9 FEET WITH AN OCCASIONAL SET UP TO 11 FEET POSSIBLE. IF
THESE SURF HEIGHTS ARE REALIZED...MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION
WILL OCCUR IN THESE AREAS. THIS EVENT IS SIMILAR TO A HIGH SURF
EVENT A FEW WEEKS AGO...WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE AMPLITUDE OF THE
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE AROUND 1 FOOT LOWER. THUS...DO NOT ANTICIPATE
THE NEED FOR A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AS THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL
SUFFICE. NEEDLESS TO SAY...RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BE HIGH TO EXTREME
FOR OUR PANHANDLE BEACHES. EVERYONE...INCLUDING EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS
AND SURFERS...SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE WATER TODAY.

A DRIER AND A LITTLE COOLER AIRMASS WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
INTO THURSDAY BEHIND THE INITIAL FRONT. A SECONDARY SURGE OF
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY NIGHT AND LEAD TO MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S BY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS
WILL FEEL QUITE COLD GIVEN THE WARM WEATHER OF THE LAST COUPLE
WEEKS. IN ANY EVENT...THE WEATHER WILL BE DRY STARTING WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY).
AFTER CAREFULLY READING LAST NIGHTS LONG TERM DISCUSSION...IT
APPEARS THAT THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE NOW COMPLETELY
FLIP-FLOPPED...WITH THE 00 UTC GFS NOW PUSHING THE 1ST COLD FRONT
FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION SAT AFTN AND EVENING...WHILE THE
12 UTC ECMWF RUN FROM TUE LINGERS THE FRONT AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
IN THE REGION INTO TUESDAY. WITH THIS MUCH UNCERTAINTY...WILL WAIT
FOR THE 00 UTC ECMWF RUN BEFORE COMPOSING THE EXTENDED GRIDS...WITH
THE HOPE THAT THE MODELS CONVERGE TOWARDS A CONSENSUS. IN ANY
EVENT...INDICATIONS ARE POINTING TOWARDS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ARCTIC
AIRMASS PLUNGING SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE
PERIOD...AS A  STEEP TROF BEGINS TO CARVE OUT OVER THE EASTERN U.S.
THIS SCENARIO WILL CERTAINLY BEAR WATCHING...AS THE COLDEST AIR OF
THE NEW YEAR MAY ARRIVE IN FULL FORCE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BUILD THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON INTO SOLID ADVISORY LEVELS. WITH A RAPIDLY LOOSENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE MARINE AREA TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS
WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AND SHOULD DROP BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. A SECONDARY SURGE OF CAUTIONARY WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE NEXT SURGE OF DRIER
AIR.

&&

.AVIATION...A VERY IMPRESSIVE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH
EASTWARD THROUGH THE TAF SITES OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH
WIND GUSTS OF 35 KTS OR GREATER POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER STORMS.
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...SKIES WILL QUICKLY BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY FROM
NW TO SE OVER THE REGION DURING THE DAY...BUT VERY GUSTY W-NW WINDS
WILL CONTINUE AT THE TERMINALS UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY
WED EVENING...ALL OF THE TAF SITES SHOULD BE UNLIMITED VFR...WITH
CLEAR SKIES AND MUCH LIGHTER NW WINDS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONTAL SYSTEM TODAY
ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME BRIEF RED
FLAG CONDITIONS OVER OUR INLAND FLORIDA PAHANDLE COUNTIES. A
CONTINUED DRY AIRMASS WILL ALSO CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG
CONDITIONS IN OUR SOUTHEAST FLORIDA BIG BEND COUNTIES ON THURSDAY.

...A THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

PATCHY DENSE FOG WILL BURN OFF QUICKLY THIS MORNING AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE REGION. THE FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED BY A SQUALL LINE
CONTAINING STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER HAS HIGHLIGHTED OUR AREA WEST OF A LINE FROM LEE
COUNTY GEORGIA TO FRANKLIN COUNTY FLORIDA FOR A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA BETWEEN 8 PM EST AND
MIDNIGHT EST AND THEN INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN BIG
BEND SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO
WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA AND THE
EASTERN BIG BEND TOWARD DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT
WILL BE FROM DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS ALTHOUGH A FEW TORNADOES
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE TO ADVISORY
LEVELS ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS THIS EVENING AND A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE PANHANDLE BEACHES TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
UNTIL IT MOVES EAST OF THE REGION EITHER LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING
OR EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...NO ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE IN EFFECT ACROSS
THE LOCAL WATERS AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LOWER RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON MAY AIDE THE SPREAD
OF ANY WILDFIRES THAT DEVELOP. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY BRINGING WITH IT ANOTHER CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED WITH THIS
FRONT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ACTIVATED AT THE FIRST ISSUANCE OF
A WATCH OR WEATHER WARNING FOR OUR AREA.
