AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
432 AM EST Wed Jan 30 2013

.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...
Active day is expected across the region today. Surface data from
early this morning show a frontal system moving eastward across the
Mid South with an organized squall line running out ahead of the
frontal zone. The airmass out ahead of this boundary is quite moist
and rather atypical for late January with dewpoints running in the
mid and upper 60s. But what is most impressive about this system is
the kinematic field. 500 mb analysis from 00 UTC shows a 110kt jet
moving through eastern Oklahoma. The lower level flow is equally
impressive with a 70kt measurement at 850mb from Little Rock at 00
UTC. Model guidance is in good agreement that this strong wind field
will translate eastward today as the strong trough shifts toward the
Atlantic Seaboard. Model guidance shows the low level 850 mb jet
ranging anywhere from 65kt to 75 kt just ahead of squall line this
afternoon across Southern Alabama and into Southwestern Georgia.
This strong wind field will easily support the potential for severe
weather. The only remaining question is how much instability this
system will have to work with as it moves eastward. Model guidance
shows a decent amount of instability (around 500 J/KG of SBCAPE) in
the afternoon, but this is maximized more across Southeast Alabama
and in the Florida Panhandle and diminishes considerably further
east into the Florida Big Bend and South Central Georgia. Thus it is
expected that the squall line will maintain itself as it moves into
the area later this afternoon but weaken with time while moving
eastward. Should the line remain well organized, the potential
exists for some significant wind damage across Southeast Alabama
where the combination of the strong wind field and instability is
likely to overlap. Even if the squall line weakens considerably,
with such a strong wind field in place, it will take very little to
bring severe-level winds to the surface. In fact, the environmental
flow out ahead of the line could produce winds gusting at times to
near 45kt this afternoon.


Good thing instability is lacking or t would probably be a dangerous outbreak around here. We should still get some much needed rain and an exciting line of storms though, both of which there have been too little of!

As is usual with these systems, the models overdue QPF to the north and show too little on the southern end of the front where the deepest moisture is even though there is less lift/dynamical support.

I'm pretty sure QPF will be higher around here than the 0.10 that some models are suggesting.

Jonathan Erdman (Meteorologist):
@larsens....Interesting situation in "the Burgh" this morning. You'll have a band of heavy rain, possibly without a single lightning strike, pass through with, perhaps, a 50+ mph gust. Tornado threat very low, there. Radar: [link to wxch.nl]

Showers and storms will be likely from late afternoon through most of the evening with a slight risk of severe weather according to the Storm Prediction Center.

This is our forecast in Columbia SC. Does this sound right? Will this system weaken that much, to a slight risk? Just wanna make sure I'm prepared.
