10/6/2018 Colors of tide XTide graphs changed to emphasize that they were upgraded. See next note. Comments welcome. 10/4/2018 I have fixed XTide and updated the harmonic files. There were some name changes so you might have to click EDIT to find the new station name. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 ktae 180249 afdtae area forecast discussion national weather service tallahassee fl 949 pm est Sun feb 17 2019 Update Cold front still progged to enter our al counties in the next couple of hours and move east into the central portions by daybreak. Fog is still possible especially across the central and eastern portions of the area. Increased pops to account for ongoing showers in the gulf and fl panhandle. Otherwise, no other changes made. Prev discussion [643 pm est] Near term [through tonight] 19 utc surface analysis shows the cold front has advanced into the lower mississippi river valley and extends from eastern mississippi down into western louisiana. Moderate southerly flow ahead of this front continues to increase low level moisture across our region, and has even led to some scattered showers developing over the last hour. Overnight, the cold front will continue to advance eastward toward the region. With extensive low level moisture, expect another round of low clouds and fog to develop in advance of the front. Nearly all of the guidance keeps any rain chances off to the west of the region til 06z, at which point rain will begin to move into southeast alabama and perhaps portions of the florida panhandle. Given that fog was not especially widespread last night, will let the oncoming shift evaluate the need for any land or marine dense fog advisories. The greatest risk area will be around apalachee bay. Short term [Monday through Tuesday night] The short term period begins with a cold front moving through the forecast area. With deep layer forcing decreasing with the eastward advance of the cold front, rain chances will also decrease with time throughout the day on Monday. The boundary is expected to stall across the southern half of the forecast area. Some cooler air will make it into our northern zones, but significantly cooler temperatures are not expected. As ridging aloft over the bahamas begins to amplify on Tuesday and the next trough begins to move eastward out of the SW conus, surface cyclogenesis will begin over the western gulf, and start to lift the stalled surface boundary across our region back northward as a warm front on Tuesday afternoon with a few showers possible. With the boundary lifting well north of the region on Tuesday night, a return to warm, humid and foggy conditions can be expected at the end of the period and then continuing into the long term. Outside of high temperatures on Monday, temperatures throughout the short term period will be well above normal - particularly through the end of the period. Long term [Wednesday through Sunday] An upper level ridge over the atlantic will maintain southwesterly flow and abundant moisture at the surface across the entire region, which will keep temperatures well above normal for this time of the year. The aforementioned upper level ridge will prevent disturbances that will develop over the western gulf of mexico from propagating eastward over our cwa, which will keep |
most pop chances to the north and west of the cwa. The best chance for pops will be in our northern and western portions of our cwa as disturbances riding over the upper level ridge may provide an isolated heavy shower or thunderstorm. The bulk of the precipitation associated with these disturbances will remain across the ms, northern al, northern ga, and tn valley. Aviation [through 00z Tuesday] flt conds will lower to MVFR and ifr this evening and become widespread and remain through the overnight and into Monday. A cold front will move across the area tonight into Monday, switching winds from the south to the northwest and helping to lift flt conds back toVFR. That wont occur till late in the period and from west to east. Marine Another round of fog is expected over the marine area tonight. A cold front will move into the marine area on Monday. Offshore winds behind this front will increase to advisory levels at times on Monday afternoon and continue into Tuesday. Winds and seas will begin to decrease on Wednesday. Fire weather No red flag conditions are expected over the next several days. Hydrology Strong ridging will force storm systems over the next few days to the north of the region. This will keep any threat for locally heavy rain well to the north of our region over the tennessee river valley. While the bulk of this heavy rain over the next several days should miss the chattahoochee river across nrn georgia, some rainfall into this basin could lead to elevated river levels within our portion of the chattahoochee (and apalachicola river) in the next few days.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
