Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 920 PM EDT Sun Sep 19 2021
UPDATE.
Precipitation continues to pivot westward to the north of I-10 this evening where there are several areas of nuisance, advisory- type flooding. One particular band had rainfall rates near 4"/hr prompting a flash flood warning for parts of Jefferson, Brooks, and Thomas Counties. In Thomasville, a few areas reported water over the road. While precipitation should begin to wind down after midnight, the 00z TAE sounding showed a saturated profile through the column with Preciptable Water of 2.33" and cloud layer winds of only 5 knots, so any additional showers overnight would be very efficient rainfall producers. The flash flood watch remains in effect for the entire area west of I-75 through 8 AM EDT Monday. The only update with this forecast package was to tweak the PoPs slightly in line with current radar and hi-res guidance trends.
PREV DISCUSSION [753 PM EDT].
NEAR TERM [Through Monday].
The radar is quite active this afternoon with scattered to widespread rain being observed, along with some isolated thunderstorms. Expect this to continue through the evening hours , with precip chances winding down tonight. PW values are anonymously high for this time of the year, with this morning's sounding sitting at 2.2 inches. Flow with these storms have been fairly slow as well, which combined with the rain we've seen over the last 3 weeks, could lead to flash flooding. Thus a Flash Flood Watch has been issued for much of the CWA through 12Z tomorrow.
In terms of Monday's forecast, the quasi-stationary upper level trough will start to lift northward. This means we'll have another day or two of renewed precipitation chances with PW values holding steady around 2 inches, keeping the flash flood threat over us. In addition to the rain, high temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 80s and overnight lows will only fall into the low 70s.
SHORT TERM [Monday Night Through Tuesday Night].
An upper level shortwave trough will be passing to our north on Tuesday, although high pressure at the surface will keep the PWAT values around 2 inches and PoPs chances remain elevated around 50-80 percent for the afternoon, with the highest chances in our eastern counties. The High temperatures for Tuesday will be in the upper 80s with morning Lows in the low 70s.
LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Sunday].
A large upper level trough will be approaching from the west and will be dipping down into our CWA on Wednesday. The trough has an associated cold front. Ahead of the front, there is a chance for showers and thunderstorms with PoPs about 40-70 percent, with the higher values to the east. The cold front passage is expected Wednesday evening. Behind the front, light to moderate northerly winds are expected along with much drier air. Dewpoints will fall to the lower 60s/upper 50s Thursday morning and remain within that region for the rest of the term. PoPs after the front will be below 20 percent region wide, except for possible showers on Saturday in the SE Big Bend. High temperatures for Wednesday will be in mid 80s, then the High temps will be in the upper 70s/low 80s through the weekend. Low temperatures will range from the low 60s in our northern counties to the upper 60s along the coast. Friday will be our coolest morning, with temps in the upper 50s for our AL and GA counties. Mornings in the 60s will continue through the weekend.
AVIATION. [Through 00Z Tuesday]
A line of SHRA with embedded TSRA will impact ABY-DHN-VLD through 03-06z with brief restrictions to IFR. Otherwise, all terminals will see cigs lower to IFR/LIFR 07-10z, except closer to 12z at ABY. Renewed SHRA/TSRA will move northeast through the terminals 18-21z. Winds variable in direction around 5 kts thru the period.
MARINE.
Winds are expected to stay just below 10 kt and waves should hold at about 1 to 2 feet through Wednesday. Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible, before a pattern change occurs Wednesday. A cold front will sweep through the region which shift winds to the north and increase them to 10-15 kt. Wave heights will rise in response, with heights peaking around 2-4 feet.
FIRE WEATHER.
The wet weather will continue through tomorrow, with precip chances lingering across the area through Wednesday. A frontal system should move into the region by Thursday which will drastically cut back on rain.. No major fire weather concerns are expected; however, dispersion values will generally be below 30 Monday and Tuesday.
HYDROLOGY.
The complex pattern that has been in place across the region will once again plague the area today. Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected again today, with a slight risk for excessive rainfall forecast for zones west of the Apalachicola and Chattahoochee rivers. All other areas east of these rivers are in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall. Another 1-2 inches of widespread rainfall is forecast for today, with localized heavier totals once again possible. Saturday saw isolated pockets of 3-4 inches across SE Alabama and SW Georgia, which lead to some flash flooding across these regions. A Flash Flood Watch for most of the CWA is now in effect through tomorrow morning. Given the above, a few flood advisories and flash flood warnings can't be ruled out again for today.
