NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 2:51 PM EST, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 351 PM EDT SUN JUN 27 2010 .SYNOPSIS... THE 19 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC UP TO THE NORTHERN AL...WITH A TROUGH FROM THE PIEDMONT DOWN TO CENTRAL GA. LOCAL RADARS SHOWED ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR AREA...A LITTLE LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO. VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR DATA SHOWED A TROUGH FROM THE EAST COAST OF FL TO TO LA. TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX WAS ABOUT TO EMERGE OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. && .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) THIS FORECAST IS UNUSUALLY TRICKY BECAUSE OF THE MODEL DIFFERENCES. WHILE THE MODEL CONSENSUS TAKES ALEX ASHORE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WEST COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO...THEY DIFFER CONSIDERABLY ON WHAT HAPPENS ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. THE 12 UTC GFS CONTINUES TO BRING A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF ENERGY FROM ALEX TOWARD OUR REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AND CLOSES OFF A WEAK SURFACE LOW ALONG A COLD FRONT OVER SOUTH GA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WOULD RESULT IN MASSIVE RAINFALL FOR OUR AREA...AS WELL AS A BIG INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS. THE ECMWF...CANADIAN...AND NAM HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN LEAVING THE MAIN ENVELOPE OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND WINDS FROM ALEX SEPARATE FROM OUR AREA. THE GFS MAY BE RIGHT BUT IT IS HARD TO PICK SUCH AN OUTLIER. WE RELIED MORE ON THE ECMWF AND NAM FOR THIS FORECAST...WHICH MEANS PRIMARILY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN RAIN CHANCES (AT AROUND 50 PERCENT) AND NEAR-CLIMO WINDS. OBVIOUSLY IF THE GFS VERIFIES OUR REGION WILL BE MUCH WETTER WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING. WE WILL MONITOR SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS CLOSELY IN CASE WE SEE SOME SORT OF VORTICITY MAX SPINNING OFF FROM ALEX...WHICH WOULD BE A LATE INDICATOR THAT THE GFS WAS CORRECT. UNTIL THEN...WE EXPECT NEAR-CLIMO TEMPERATURES AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE- AVERAGE POP. .LONG TERM... (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) EXPECT TO SEE THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT STALL SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA BY WEDNESDAY. THE COMBINATION OF NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT...AND THE MOIST TROPICAL SOUTHERLY FLOW SOUTH OF THE FRONT IN THE PERIPHERY OF ALEX...SHOULD LEAD TO GOOD LOW LEVEL MOIST CONVERGENCE ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN GULF COAST. EXPECT GOOD RAIN CHANCES TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR LIKELY POPS THIS FAR OUT...BUT WILL MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS FOR THE TIME BEING. BY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...THE ISSUE WILL BE WHETHER OR NOT THE FRONT SAGS SOUTH FAR ENOUGH TO DRY THINGS OUT. LATEST ECMWF JUST COMING IN SUGGEST THE MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE RARITY OF FRONTAL PASSAGES IN LATE JUNE/EARLY JULY. ATTM...WILL CONTINUE THE GENERALLY WET FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. && .AVIATION... CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND MAY BRIEFLY IMPACT THE TAF SITES WITH IFR/MVFR VSBY/CIGS BEFORE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING. PATCHY FOG RESULTING IN MVFR VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...ESPECIALLY AT VLD AND ECP. && .MARINE... WE USED AN AVERAGE OF THE ECMWF AND NAM FOR THE WIND FORECAST AS THE CANADIAN AND GFS FORECAST WINDS APPEARED TOO HIGH IN COMPARISON TO ALL THE OTHER GUIDANCE. THE SEAS FORECAST WAS TRICKY. THE NOAA WAVEWATCH AND SWAN RUN OFF THE GFS FORECAST WINDS PRODUCE HIGH SEAS...WHILE THE SWAN RUN OFF THE NAM HAD VERY LOW SEAS. ALTHOUGH THE GFS IS PROBABLY TOO HIGH WITH ITS WIND SPEEDS...IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THAT AT LEAST SOME LARGE SWELLS HAVE BEEN (AND WILL BE) GENERATED BY ALEX. WE USED THE MEAN OF THE TWO SWAN RUNS FOR THE SWELL AND SEAS FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE ISSUES. GROWING SURF BY MID WEEK MAY CREATE HAZARDOUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

MOISTURE LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DROP INTO THE SOUTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY HELPING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. IN FACT...IF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS ACROSS THE REGION...HEAVY RAINFALL COULD BECOME A CONCERN BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
