AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 230 PM EDT SUN JUN 28 2009 .SYNOPSIS... DURING THE EARLY AFTN...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE NRN TIER GA COUNTIES...OR SOUTH OF W-E ORIENTED PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AND NEAR SHORTWAVE. THESE STORMS WERE RACING SEWD (UNDER SEABREEZE REGIME 9) AND A FEW WERE PRODUCING DIME TO NICKLE SIZE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION BEGAN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL SEABREEZE. AT UPPER LEVELS... THE LARGE SCALE CONUS PATTERN IS HIGHLIGHTED BY A TROUGH OFF THE W COAST OF CANADA AND OTHER OFF THE E COAST OF THE U.S. IN BETWEEN... A PROGRESSIVE UPPER CLOSED LOW WAS MOVING EWD ACROSS WRN GREAT LAKES ...ANOTHER LOW WAS NOTED WITHIN ERN TROUGH AND JUST OFF SRN NEW ENGLAND. GREAT LAKES LOW CONTINUES TO FLATTEN THE NRN EXTENT OF PLAINS RIDGE...ALTHOUGH SRN EXTENT HOLDING STRONG OVER THE SRN PLAINS. LOOKING SOUTH...A TUTT CELL CONTINUES TO DRIFT WWD ACROSS THE SWRN GULF OF MEXICO. OVER THE SHORT TERM...RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER WRN CONUS WITH NE EXTENSION OVR NRN PLAINS. THE SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW OVER SRN NEW ENGLAND WILL BE KICKED EWD AS THE GREAT LAKES SYSTEM DROPS SEWD AMPLIFYING A TROUGH OVER ERN CONUS. BY 12Z TUES LOW WILL BE OVER LWR GREAT LAKES. THIS PATTERN OF A RIDGE OUT WEST AND A TROUGH OVER ERN CONUS WILL CONTINUE THRU PERIOD. THIS PLACES OUR LOCAL AREA PRIMARILY UNDER MID TO UPPER LEVEL WNW FLOW. AT LOWER LEVELS... SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A STRONG COLD FRONT MARCHING SEWD ACROSS THE LWR MS VALLEY. CLOSER TO HOME...LOW PRESSURE EXISTS ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST WITH A PRE-FRONTAL FRONT EXTENDING BACK ACROSS SC AND SRN GA. LOOKING SOUTH...HIGH OVER S FL WITH SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE BAHAMAS TO THE WESTERN GULF. A TROPICAL WAVE HAS MOVED INLAND OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. LOCAL AREA BETWEEN CAROLINA LOW/FRONT AND S FL HIGH/RIDGE MAY YIELD MODERATE WNW FLOW. OVER THE SHORT TERM...AS THE UPPER ERN TROUGH TROUGH AMPLIFIES OVER THE ERN U.S...IT WILL HELP TO DRIVE THE MISS VALLEY COLD FRONT WELL INTO DIXIE. SOME MODEL DIFFERENCE ON HOW FAR S IT WILL REACH. THE NAM/GFS ARE MUCH QUICKER PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION... PLACING IT ALONG THE COAST OR JUST OFFSHORE BY 12Z TUE. MEANWHILE... THE ECMWF IS MUCH SLOWER AND ACTUALLY STALLS IT OVER THE INTERIOR. THE ECMWF SOLUTION FAVORS CLIMATOLOGY AND STEERING FLOW IS MORE WNW TO NW THAN N/NW AS FRONT APPROACHES EASTERN TROUGH. SO THIS WILL BE BIG FORECAST QUESTION NEXT 24 HRS. FOR NOW WILL FAVOR GFS/NGM WHICH SHOWS WSW-ENE FRONT BECOMING QSTNRY OVER CNTRL GA S/CNTRL ALA AND WWD INTO TX TONIGHT AND MONDAY...THEN INTO THE FL PANHANDLE 06Z-12Z TUES AND INTO NORTHERN PENINSULA ON TUESDAY AFTN. THE TROPICAL WAVE STANDS LITTLE CHANCE OF ORGANIZING WHILE OVER LAND. ONCE IT EMERGES OVER THE S CENTRAL OR SW GULF...THAT MAY CHANGE. HOWEVER..THE DELAY AND MORE WWD POSITION MEANS THAT IT WILL NOT BE PICKED UP THE THE ERN U.S. TROUGH LIKE PRIOR RUNS OF THE GFS (AND SOME OTHER TRACK GUIDANCE) HAD BEEN ADVERTISING. BOTTOM LINE...THE THREAT TO FL IS NEGLIGIBLE. && .SHORT TERM...REST OF THIS AFTN INTO WEDNESDAY... REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING... 12Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS SHOW WLY FLOW TO H5 THEN NNW ABOVE. 1000-700 MB MEAN VECTOR WINDS WILL BE WNW AROUND 10 KT (REGIME 8 OR MORE LIKELY REGIME 9). RUC AND SATELLITE SHOW A SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM NW. AT LOWER LEVELS...SEA BREEZE WILL IGNITE CONVECTION... ALTHOUGH THE PRESENCE OF THE W-E DIFFUSE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH SAGGING S OVER S/CENTRAL GA WILL SERVE AS FOCUS FOR POPS ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR NRN ZONES. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DEPICTED BY WRF MODEL SHOWS CONVECTION DEVELOPING INITIALLY JUST SOUTH OF PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ACROSS NRN TIER GA/ALA COUNTIES AND ONE HOUR LATER ALONG COASTAL SEABREEZE. BY 22Z SHORTWAVE OVER ERN CWA AND CELLS COALESCE W-E AND INTENSIFY RIGHT ALONG FL/GA/ALA BORDER. WITH AMPLE DIURNAL HEATING AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S...STRONG INSTABILITY HAS OVERCOME WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT. HIGH PWAT VALUES AND MLCAPE OVER 3500 J/KG ALLOWING FOR STRONGER STORMS COULD THAT MAY RESULT IN WET MICROBURSTS LATER TODAY. TONIGHT...BY 12Z MON AND FOLLOWING WRF...THE FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING OUR NRN ZONES AND WE HAVE CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NRN TIER...MAINLY BEFORE TONIGHT. 40-20 PCT N-S POP GRADIENT. MONDAY... REGARDLESS OF WHICH MODEL VERIFIES...THE DEEP MOISTURE (PWS > 2) COUPLED WITH A LOW LEVEL CONFLUENT FLOW AND WARMING ATMOSPHERE SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY (WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOW-MID 70S) WILL FAVOR INCREASING CAPE PLUS THE INFLUENCE OF THE SEABREEZE AND ANY OUTFLOW CLASHES WILL FAVOR AN ACTIVE MONDAY WITH STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS ACROSS TRI-STATE AREA WITH ISOLATED WET DOWNBURSTS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. WILL MAINTAIN A 60-50 N-S POP GRADIENT WITH HIGHEST POPS NEAR AND S OF THE FRONT. TUESDAY... THE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT IN WAKE OF FRONT...MOST OF THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE REMAINING WILL BE JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA WITH PLENTY OF MID-LEVEL DRY AIR FILLING IN ACROSS THE REGION FROM N-SE. 20-60 NW-SE POP GRADIENTS. WEDNESDAY...CONTINUED DRYING. 0-30 PCT NW-SE POP GRADIENT. .LONG TERM...WED NIGHT THROUGH SUN. THE AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN OVER THE COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH A VERY BROAD TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN STATES AND A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OUT WEST. THE MEAN SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCAL AREA EXTENDING FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE BAHAMAS TO THE WESTERN GULF. THIS PLACES OUR LOCAL AREA PRIMARILY UNDER MID TO UPPER LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. AT THE SURFACE...THE PERIOD BEGINS WITH A COLD FRONT (THAT WAS DESCRIBED ABOVE) STALLED NEAR OR OVER THE LOCAL AREA FROM ENE TO WSW. THE GFS/GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN/ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE MOST OF THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE REMAINING JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA AND PLENTY OF MID-LEVEL DRY AIR FILLING IN ACROSS THE REGION. THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIFFER SLIGHTLY WITH TIMING...BUT INDICATE A FEW WEAK UPPER-LEVEL IMPULSES TRACKING SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. WILL LEAN MORE TOWARD CLIMO FOR POP COVERAGE THROUGH THIS PORTION OF THE EXTENDED. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN NEAR AVERAGE THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .MARINE...THIS AFTN THROUGH TONIGHT. A PROLONGED PERIOD OF W-SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. SPEED WILL GENERALLY BE 10-15 KT BUT OCCASIONALLY INCREASE ABOVE 15 KT. SEAS WILL GENERALLY RUN 2-4 FT. WAVEWATCH CONTINUES TO SHOW SOME WAVE ENERGY GENERATED IN THE YUCATAN CHANNEL FROM THE PROLONGED SELY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL WAVE. HOWEVER...MOST OF THIS ENERGY WILL BE DIRECTED NWWD AND THERE WILL ONLY BE MINIMAL SWELL REALIZED IN THE NE GULF. BEST CHANCE OF INCREASED SWELL WILL BE WESTERN MOST PANHANDLE WATERS. && && .FIRE WEATHER...MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CENTERED SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS THROUGH MON. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA TONIGHT AND MONDAY...THEN STALL NEAR THE COAST THROUGH THE MID-WEEK PERIOD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ENOUGH DRY AIR WILL WORK IN BEHIND THE FRONT TO BRING THE RH DOWN BELOW 35 PERCENT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TUE AFTERNOON N OF I-10. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
