GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 253 Pm Est Tue Dec 5 2023
Synopsis..
northerly flow prevails through Thursday with the main marine concerns being an increase in winds this evening and overnight as a cold front moves through. This will bring advisory level seas for the overnight hours and into the late morning and early afternoon of Wednesday. Surface high pressure moves in Thursday and Friday with winds expected to decrease and become easterly. By the upcoming weekend a return to advisory level conditions is likely as winds become southerly ahead of our next cold front. This front will also bring the potential for strong storms and possibly a few severe storms.

NEAR TERM
(Through Wednesday)
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
An upper level trough will dive south tonight into eastern South Carolina and Georgia, which will usher in a secondary cold front through the overnight hours tonight. This will similarly create moderate winds in the wake of the cold frontal passage during the overnight hours. Windy and gusty conditions look to continue on Wednesday as surface high pressure pushes into the region in the wake of the upper level trough and subsequent cold front passage through the region. By Wednesday evening, surface high pressure is forecast to settle into the Carolinas, which should allow near winds to taper off towards the evening hours across the region. Forecast lows tonight in the upper 30s to low 40s combined with elevated winds will create wind chills down into the mid to upper 30s areawide, making for a cooler morning across the region. Overall, expect sunny but breezy conditions on Wednesday, with high temperatures climbing into the upper 50s to near 60 across the area.
SHORT TERM
(Wednesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
Coldest night of the upcoming week will be Wednesday night into Thursday morning as surface high pressure and mostly clear skies fill into the region. Widespread low temperatures will be in the low to mid 30s with the extreme coastal regions in the upper 30s.
Expect areas of frost as well.
As the surface high shifts east, low-mid level becomes easterly through the Thursday. With mostly sunny skies, temperatures should be a few degrees warmer than Wednesday. Southwesterly upper level redevelops by the evening and overnight hours with upper level clouds on the increase. This should allow warmer temperatures overnight into Friday morning.
LONG TERM
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
An active weather pattern is looking likely again for the upcoming weekend as a large upper level trough is forecast to develop across the southern portions of the United States. While there is good agreement in high rain chances over the weekend, there are uncertainties in regards to the details that could possibly bring severe weather into the region.
Ahead of the primary potential for severe weather this weekend, weak impulses in the increasing southwest flow aloft will interact with a warm front in place to bring a slight increase in rain chances beginning late Friday. These impulses will continue to stream into the region into Saturday as the main upper level trough digs into the central and southern US. Details regarding the magnitude and timing of the potential severe threat will depend on how the upper level trough evolves with the slower/deeper Euro ensembles giving us a greater potential for severe weather compared to the more progressive GFS and more middle-ground ensemble guidance in the Canadian solutions. A majority of the ensembles indicate a fairly progressive pattern so flooding concerns with this next system should remain relatively low.
The trough likely pushes through by the end of the weekend with quieter conditions possible at the start of next week.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 640 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
All terminals will experience a dry and stable air mass for the next 24 hours and beyond. A dry reinforcing cold front passage is expected late tonight. With its arrival before sunrise, 2,000-foot winds will become northwesterly near 30 knots in its wake. If surface winds remain light and decoupled, this could lead to a marginal case of low-level wind shear. After sunrise when winds recouple, expect gusty northwest and north winds through the day on Wednesday. Given the dry air mass, merely high cirrus clouds will prevail, with unrestricted visibility.
MARINE
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
Northerly flow prevails through Thursday with the main marine concerns being an increase in winds this evening and overnight as a cold front moves through. This will bring advisory level seas for the overnight hours and into the late morning and early afternoon of Wednesday. Surface high pressure moves in Thursday and Friday with winds expected to decrease and become easterly. By the upcoming weekend a return to advisory level conditions is likely as winds become southerly ahead of our next cold front.
This front will also bring the potential for strong storms and possibly a few severe storms.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
Dispersions look to be on the high side on Wednesday in the wake of a cold front passage tonight; however, values are not forecast to be high enough for headlines at this time. As winds become northeasterly and become more calm on Thursday, which will drastically reduce dispersions across the area. Outside of the low dispersions, there are no fire weather concerns due to saturated soils from the recent heavy rains over the past two weekends.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 309 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023
A few rivers remain above action stage, with minor flooding still occuring at Sopchoppy and Aucilla River at Lamont. The Sopchoppy is expected to recede to action stage later today, while the Aucilla at Lamont should recede sometime Wednesday.
No additional riverine concerns are anticipated but additional rainfall is expected this upcoming weekend. The progressive nature of the system should keep rainfall amounts less than 1.5 to 2.0 inches.
