The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a lake
Wind Advisory... which is in effect from 11 am EST /10 am CST/
this morning to 6 PM EST /5 PM CST/ this afternoon.
Winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph by
afternoon. While these winds will not be as strong as those
experienced on Wednesday afternoon... conditions will still be
hazardous over open waters of lakes where these winds will be
slightly stronger. Boaters should exercise caution
today... especially across the larger lakes... like lakes talquin
and Seminole as well as the Walter F George Reservoir.
A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.

... A Fire Weather Watch is in effect on Friday afternoon...
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of

will create explosive fire growth potential.

are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
red flag warnings.

NWS Forecaster Discussion
031 fxus62 ktae 081446 afdtae Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee Florida 945 am EST Thursday Jan 8 2009 Synopsis/update... 14z water vapor and h4 RUC analysis showing quite an amplified upper level pattern across North America this morning. Pattern from west to east shows northern stream troughing moving ashore along the Pacific northwest coast. This flow then rapidly transitions to longwave ridging over much of the inter-mountain west...and then finally into impressive longwave troughing covering almost all of eastern North America. Our forecast area resides at the base of this eastern U.S. Trough but should see heights begin to rise by this evening as the upper trough axis pushes off the southeast coast. At the surface...1017mb high pressure is centered to our south and southwest across the northern Gulf of Mexico. To our north we find troughing from the western Carolinas to northern Georgia/Alabama in associated with a weak cold front. The gradient between these two features is resulting in a steady west to southwest flow over the area. One final middle-level disturbance is forecast to round the base of the upper trough through the remaining daylight hours and help push this dry cold front south and east into the area. As the middle-level disturbance approaches...numerical guidance in agreement showing a decent wind maximum moving overhead just above the surface. Diurnal mixing into the early afternoon should easily reach the level of this wind maximum and allow for downward momentum transport to the surface. With this in mind should be looking at yet another breezy late morning/afternoon over the County Warning Area. BUFKIT RUC profiles indicating gusts up to around 30 miles per hour not out of the question. Outside of the gusty conditions will be looking at mostly sunny skies through the day with temperatures rising through the 60s. Upper trough exits to the east this evening with surface high pressure building overhead from the south and west. Gradient should relax this evening allowing for the afternoon winds to subside quickly toward sunset. Will be a cool night with temperatures dropping into the middle and upper 30s north and upper 30s to middle 40s south. Seasonable and much less breezy day on tap for Friday with zonal flow aloft and high pressure still in control at the surface. Temperatures will rise under partly to mostly sunny skies to reach the middle and upper 60s region wide for the afternoon. && Aviation... this will be a VFR day with occasional cs at 25k feet. Like yesterday...winds will increase late this morning and afternoon... with west northwest winds of 15 to 20 knots and gusts to 25 to 30 knots. Winds will quickly diminish by sunset. && Marine... still seeing a fairly tight gradient in place across the forecast waters between high pressure to our south and an approaching trough to the north. Cautionary level winds will remain into the afternoon hours before the gradient relaxes this evening with the approach of high pressure from the west. This relaxing of the gradient should allow winds and seas to briefly fall below cautionary levels tonight into Friday before flow increases from the south and southwest ahead of the next cold front arriving later Saturday or Saturday night. && Hydrology...cool windy air followed yesterdays fast moving cold front which exited east through northern Florida yesterday afternoon. Little rainfall was recorded over the area from this front yesterday. Alabama and southwest Georgia...the area of one half to one inch of rain that fell over southeast Alabama and portions of southwest Georgia have entered the Choctawhatchee...pea and Chattahoochee rivers. Small sharp rises of 1 to 2.5 feet quickly peaked in southeast Alabama. Slow minor rises continue in southwest Georgia with increased base flows on the Kinchafoonee and Muckalee creeks. Spring Creek in southwest Georgia is showing a healthy runoff response which should peak with a 2 foot maximum rise. Florida Panhandle...routed flow from southeast Alabama will help keep flows steady to just below action stage at Caryville and fairly steady downstream through Bruce to the Gulf of Mexico for the next several days. Smaller creeks and streams are experiencing only very minor rises. Chattahoochee River...a healthy widespread 3 to 5 inch dump of rain in the upper Chattahoochee on 6 and 7 Jan will be working its way downstream through west.F. George...George West. Andrews and Woodruff dam over the next several days. No significant change to releases have been noted on the Chattahoochee dams...other than a slight increase of releases on Woodruff to around 18kcfs. This is generating minor below action stage rises downstream on the Apalachicola River at Blountstown. Flows on the Chipola River remain fairly steady and will have little impact downstream on the Apalachicola River at the cutoff. Flows over the remainder of the area including the Suwannee basin...are in recession or at base flow. && Preliminary point temps/pops...
