Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 315 AM EST Tue Dec 10 2019

NEAR TERM [Through Today].

Most of the morning will be cloudy with areas of fog, some dense, burning off and dissipating by mid morning. By late morning, isolated showers will develop over southeast Alabama and the western Florida panhandle ahead of an approaching cold front. That cold front will enter our Alabama counties in the early afternoon with showers and isolated thunderstorms ahead of it northeast into southwest Georgia. The front appears to make it to the Flint river by the end of the day. Winds will become northwesterly behind the front with falling temperatures. Highs will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s.

SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Thursday].

The cold front will continue through the area tonight and progress into the southern Gulf Wednesday and Thursday. Cold air advection behind the front will send highs tumbling into the mid 50s north to mid 60s south with lows in the 40s to lower 50s. Although winds will be northerly to northeasterly behind the front, a moist and south to southwest flow will exist above the surface to maintain cloudy skies and a chances for light rain much of this period.

LONG TERM [Thursday Night Through Tuesday].

As an upstream trough moves through the southern Plains, low pressure will develop in the northwestern Gulf Thursday night then move northeastward across the southeast US Friday and Friday night then off the eastern seaboard Saturday. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop Friday and Friday night along and ahead of this low. There is atleast a low chance of severe storms near the coast with the apparent shear profiles and returning dewpoints in the low 60s. Too far out to nail down specifics at this time and considering some model discrepancies. Some wrap around moisture will linger into Saturday with dry conditions Sunday. Another system is on tap for early next week.

AVIATION. [Through 06Z Wednesday]

Flt Conds are decreasing across the area overnight with low cigs/vsbys across most of the TAF sites. Expect an overall decreasing trend through the overnight hours with VLIFR near the coast with higher conds towards DHN. Conds to improve later Tuesday with a cold front inbound with SHRA possible at DHN in the afternoon hours. Further east, another round of fog could be possible beginning Tuesday evening.

MARINE.

Dense marine fog will continue in the Apalachee Bay area this morning. A cold front will move across the coastal waters tonight with winds becoming north to northeasterly behind the passage with speeds increasing. Exercise caution is expected across all waters Wednesday with advisory conditions mainly in near and offshore waters along and west of Apalachicola.

FIRE WEATHER.

Aside from high dispersions today, no hazardous fire weather conditions are expected over the next few days.

HYDROLOGY.

Decent rainfall chances will exist today through Saturday. Although we will be in an increasingly wet pattern, rainfall amounts will generally be an inch or less with isolated higher amounts. Since the area remains in dry to moderate drought, no flooding is anticipated.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT.

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.

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.
