The Storm Prediction Center has now placed our entire viewing area under a slight risk for severe weather. This means there is at least around a 30% chance for any place in the risk area to receive severe weather. What we’re thinking is that if anything severe does develop, the main threat is straight line winds and a slight risk for a brief tornado. From what I can gather the best estimate for window of risk would be after midnight through about 8 am Tuesday, but primarily between 2-6 am Tuesday. Rainfall totals will likely be widespread totals of 1 inch, but I’m leaning towards more likely 1.5″ with isolated areas over 2.5″. Prepare for a soggy morning, but I think heavy rain will be east of us by 9:30-10:30 am. We aren’t expecting a major cool off after this system, but lows Wednesday & Thursday will be back to near 40 degrees. Connor will be on night duty and I will probably be in an hour or two early to man overnight. I’m anticipating a tornado watch for the beaches into southeast Alabama later this evening.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 251 PM EST SUN NOV 14 2010 .SHORT TERM... (THROUGH WEDNESDAY) THE FRONTAL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO LIMP INTO THE THE EXTREME NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA TONIGHT OR EARLY MONDAY...PERHAPS BRINGING A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS TO THAT REGION. AS THE SHORT WAVE (CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN MEXICO) BECOMES PHASED WITH THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER TX MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...A SURFACE LOW WILL FORM OVER THE NORTHWEST GULF ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT. THIS LOW WILL MOVE QUICKLY NORTHEASTWARD TUESDAY...TO A POSITION OVER KY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH OUR REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. ALL OF THE GLOBAL MODELS FORECAST SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT FALLS WITH THIS ENERGETIC SYSTEM...AS WELL AS PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AHEAD OF IT. THUS WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED...MAINLY MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. THE NWP CONSENSUS QPF IS ABOUT AN INCH...BUT NARROW BANDS OF 2 INCHES OR MORE ARE POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE RECENT DROUGHT...THIS IS WELCOME NEWS FOR MOST. NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH IS OUR SEVERE STORM SEASON...AND IT IS RARE TO NOT HAVE AT LEAST A MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT WHEN THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST. THE PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS HERE ACTUALLY LOOKS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN 24 HOURS AGO. IN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS IT LOOKED LIKE THE BEST MOISTURE AND KINEMATICS WOULD BE AHEAD OF THE SURFACE INSTABILITY. THE 12 UTC GFS AND NAM ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THE NEW SOLUTIONS KEEP ANOTHER SHORT WAVE (NOT REALLY SEEN IN THE SOLUTION FROM 24 HOURS AGO) TO OUR WEST ON TUESDAY AS THE INITIAL WAVE QUICKLY LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD OVER TN. THIS WILL KEEP MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA UNDER A REGION OF LARGE SCALE LIFT...WHILE THE COLD FRONT (STILL TO OUR WEST) INTERACTS WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AHEAD OF IT. NOW THAT THE FRONTAL LOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL TO OUR WEST AND NORTH (A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS)...A MORE SUBSTANTIAL WARM SECTOR IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE GFS AND NAM FORECAST MARGINAL SURFACE- BASED INSTABILITY OVER OUR AREA (500-1000 J/KG SBCAPE)...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 60S. THE 0-6 KM VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO RANGE FROM 50 TO 70 KT TUESDAY...WHICH IS PLENTY FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED STORMS AND ROTATING UPDRAFTS. THE LACK OF CURVATURE IN THE FORECAST HODOGRAPHS SUGGEST LESS OF A TORNADO THREAT AND MORE OF A DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WIND THREAT. THE LINEAR LOOK TO THE MODEL OMEGA FIELDS INDICATE A SQUALL LINE MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY NIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY...WITH BOW ECHOES AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. HOWEVER...A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN THE 40 KT LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. FOR NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE MARGINAL INSTABILITY WILL PREVENT THIS EVENT FROM BEING A MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...AND WE WILL WAIT ANOTHER MODEL CYCLE OR TWO BEFORE EXPLICITLY MENTIONING SEVERE STORMS IN OUR FORECAST.

Amarillo, TX in the boot hill of Texas awoke to a heavy, wet snow, this November 12th. Some of the storm was so strong, there were even reports of Thundersnow, a relatively rare event in comparison to thunder. This was on the back end of a cold front moving through Oklahoma, leaving chilly air, gusty cold wind, and a little something for the children to play in today.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL .LONG TERM...SAT NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THU. A FEW SHORT WAVES DROPPING SOUTHWARD FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL CARVE OUT A DEEP AND BROAD TROUGH COVERING 2/3RDS OF THE CONUS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LOCAL REGION WILL BE EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS THROUGH TUESDAY WITH A LONG FETCH OF SOUTHWEST FLOW BRINGING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE TO THE AREA. THIS BECOMES ENHANCED ON TUESDAY AS SEVERAL VORTS EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW CROSS OUR PATH. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL STALL NORTH AND WEST OF OUR CWA ON SUNDAY. A WAVE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ON THE FRONT NEAR THE LOUISIANA COAST SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY LIFTING INTO NORTHERN ALABAMA MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE WEAKENING WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING JUST WEST OF OUR FA. A SECONDARY LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN GULF MONDAY NIGHT LIFTING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY DRAGGING THE TRAILING COLD FRONT INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES. THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REMAINING ZONES BY LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH AND NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT BY THURSDAY. SCATTERED TO POSSIBLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING MONDAY AND ENDING LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE TIMING MAY BE A LITTLE OFF BUT WITH THE RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY OF THE MODELS SHOWING A DECENT RAIN EVENT...AM RAISING POPS INTO THE GOOD CHANCE CATEGORY ACROSS THE BOARD FOR TUESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO A LITTLE BELOW AVERAGE SUNDAY MORNING...THEN NEAR TO ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR TO ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
The unselfish sacrifice of America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines will never be fully appreciated by the rest of us who go about our lives under the constant protection of these young heroes.

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia — Indonesia’s most volatile volcano spewed clouds of ash high into the sky Wednesday, forcing some international airlines to again cancel flights and President Barack Obama to cut short his visit.
The official death toll, meanwhile, climbed by more than 40 to 191.
Disaster officials said earlier figures had not included people who died of respiratory problems, heart attacks and other illnesses linked to the fiery mountain.
Mount Merapi, located in the heart of Java island, roared back to life two weeks ago, shooting searing clouds of gray soot and debris up to four miles (six kilometers) into the air almost daily, with lava and rock cascading down its slopes.
More than 350,000 people have been evacuated to cramped emergency shelters.
Obama sliced several hours off his whirlwind 24-hour tour to Indonesia over concerns about the volcanic ash, which has been carried by westerly winds toward the capital, Jakarta. He flew to South Korea for the Group of 20 summit.
Safety concerns also prompted several international carriers to again cancel flights into and out of Jakarta, 270 miles (450 kilometers) from Merapi, said Syaiful Bahri, who oversees operations at the airport.
Among them were Cathay Pacific, Value Air and Qantas.
Merapi has erupted many times in the last century, killing more than 1,400. On Friday, it experienced its most explosive blast in more than a century. At least one yet-to-be evacuated village was incinerated, setting on fire houses, trees and fleeing residents.
Muhammad Anshori, a disaster official, said Wednesday the official death toll since the first eruption on Oct. 26 had climbed to 191 – up from 153 earlier in the day.
Another 600 have been hospitalized, some with burns covering 95 percent of their body.
More than 340,000 people living along its slopes and villages near the base have been evacuated, he said. They are now living in more than 80 government camps. Many complain about poor sanitation, saying the toilets and water are filthy.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanoes because it sits along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped string of faults that lines the Pacific Ocean.

New England awoke to it’s first Nor’easter of the season on Monday morning….Most states received wind and heavy rain, with gusts up to 40 mph. Bradley International Airport in Connecticut reported a heavy, wet snow at 4:30 am EST which changed over to sleet and then eventually rain.
This photo is from my house, showing a dusting of snow on the roof & car, and leaves blown off the trees. Morning lows were between 32-38.
Did your vehicle look like this at all this weekend?

A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE (1028 MB) WAS ANALYZED ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES WAS LEADING TO STILL BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. VAPOR IMAGERY AND 500 MB ANALYSIS FROM 00 UTC SHOWS A VERY HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS...WITH A LARGE 590 DM RIDGE OUT WEST AND A VERY DEEP LATITUDINAL TROUGH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE GULF. THIS PATTERN IS HELPING TO FUNNEL VERY COLD AIR OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. THE 00 UTC KTAE SOUNDING SHOWED SOLID NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS UP TO ABOUT 800 MB WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO SOUTHWESTERLY FURTHER ALOFT. WITH THE MAGNITUDE OF COLD ADVECTION ONLY LIKELY TO INCREASE FURTHER OVERNIGHT...THE 850 TEMPS NOW AT +6C ARE PROGGED TO BE NEAR OR JUST BELOW 0C ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BY 12 UTC FRIDAY. OVERALL...THE MAIN CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS IS TEMPERATURES. WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION CONTINUING...TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RECOVER MUCH EACH AFTERNOON...AT LEAST UNTIL SUNDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO COOL AFTERNOON HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD NOT BE ALL THAT CHILLY...THOUGH BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE MORNING WILL MAKE IT FEEL COOLER. IT WON`T BE UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING THAT TEMPERATURES TAKE A NOSE DIVE INTO THE MID 30S. FOR NOW...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BE TOO FAR WEST TO SUPPORT A FREEZE ACROSS THE REGION. IN FACT ON THE LARGE SCALE ACROSS THE CWA...LOCALLY RUN PROBABILISTIC FREEZE GUIDANCE ONLY INDICATES ABOUT A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF A FREEZE FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING...AND ABOUT 50 TO 60 PERCENT ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING. WHILE NO FREEZE WATCHES ARE POSTED JUST YET...FUTURE SHIFTS MAY NEED TO ISSUE FREEZE WATCHES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING GIVEN THE HIGHER PROBABILITIES AND DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE CONTINUING TO INDICATE MINS NEAR OR JUST BELOW FREEZING SUNDAY MORNING.
