NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 6, 1:42 PM EST, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 242 PM EDT Fri Sep 6 2013 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... With little to no synoptic scale influence, the seabreeze has kicked off this afternoon along the Big Bend coast as seen in the local radar imagery. These isolated storms will continue to move inland through the afternoon and dissipate around sunset. Temperatures today will peak in the lower 90s and cool to the upper 60s-around 70 overnight. && .SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Monday]... The large scale longwave pattern commences on Sat dominated by ridge over Wrn 2/3rd and trough along Ern seaboard with a weakening backdoor front sinking slowly SWD through our forecast area. This upper pattern allows drier air to advect into GA/AL, less so over N FL. During the rest of the period, upstream ridge inches Ewd nudging trough into Atlc with NWLY steering flow into our area. At surface, reinforcing high over Carolinas is shunted Swd building Swwd to over Nrn Gulf. So essentially we will have a nearly stacked ridge weakening somewhat on Mon. This translates to drier NE flow moving over the region with decreasing clouds and slightly cooler min and normal Max temps. Will go with AOB 20% thru Sun then 20-30% on Mon. Highs in low 90s. Lows in the upper 60s. && .LONG TERM [Monday Night through Friday]... The large scale pattern commences fairly benign dominated by deep layer ridging over all but the Wrn states with high centered over Srn TN Valley. At surface, high off mid-Atlc with ridge swwd across NE Gulf region with ESE low level flow and helping to dissipate frontal remnants over Cntrl GA into Atlc. Little change is expected into Wed and this will advect drier air into our forecast area keeping PoPs below climo. Then, a trough riding and intensifying Ewd reaches Ern Canada and NE U.S. rapidly deepening down east coast with ridge retrograding rapidly Wwd. By Fri aftn, base of trough over GA flanked by ridge to our west and Atlc ridge to our east placing local area in weakness. At surface, this serves to progressively break down while digging upper trough drives next albeit weak backdoor cold front into N/Cntrl GA/FL. All this translates to modestly increasing moisture levels and weak synoptic flow. Will go with 20% or less Tues thru Thurs then 20-30% on Fri. Inland Highs around 90s on Tues and Wed then low 90s Thurs and Fri. && .AVIATION... [Through 18z Saturday] VFR conditions should prevail through the period. Isolated to scattered storms are possible this afternoon, but coverage is expected to be low near the terminals, so kept VCTS. Some guidance is hinting at BR with 4-5 SM vsbys tomorrow morning at DHN/ABY/VLD, but since we did not see that this morning, drier air is moving in, and not all of the guidance was showing it, left it out of the TAFs. && .MARINE... Despite the expected "cold" front passage tonight & Saturday, we are not expecting a big increase in winds and seas. In fact, they will remain well below exercise caution levels through this weekend. However, east winds are expected to increase early in the work week as a much stronger area of high pressure builds down the eastern Seaboard. && .FIRE WEATHER... No fire weather concerns. && .HYDROLOGY... Most of the area rivers are either below action stage or receding. The exception was on the lower Suwannee River, where points below Rock Bluff are nearing a broad crest. A stretch of fairly dry weather is expected over the next several days, which will give the local rivers some much-needed time to return toward normal flows. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
