| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 902pm EST Sunday Jan 16 2022 No significant changes to the previous forecast appear necessary. Winds will continue to gradually subside tonight with the wind advisory and gale warning set to expire later tonight. A small craft advisory, high risk of rip currents, and high surf will remain in place. 00pm EST]... .NEAR TERM [Through Monday]... A strengthening low center east of Atlanta continues to bring gusty winds this afternoon, with recent gusts near 40 mph near Thomasville and Moultrie. Meanwhile, satellite imagery shows a large field of strato-cu extending all the way back through MS. This will keep the evening cloudy, but then large-scale subsidence will start to take hold overnight. This will lead to clearing skies on Monday morning. Winds will not be as strong on Monday, but it will still be breezy. With highs only in the 50s, this will add a bite to the air in the form of wind chills. Otherwise, gale-force westerlies across the Northeast Gulf will start to diminish later this evening. Dangerous high surf will continue along southwest-facing beaches through tonight, but surf will drop sufficiently by sunrise Monday morning to let the High Surf headlines expire. For wrap-up thougheights on coastal flooding, see the Hydro section. .SHORT TERM [Monday Night Through Tuesday Night]... Cooler, drier conditions are expected through the short term as high pressure slides eastward across the region. With subsidence in place we can expect winds to weaken and become light overnight Monday into Tuesday, leading to potential frost Tuesday morning. Expect overnight lows in the upper 20s to low 30s with daytime highs in the mid to upper 50s. Long Term - Wednesday Through Sunday Throughout the long term a surge of cP air moves south across the eastern half of CONUS allowing the free and unobstructed passage of several shortwaves that dig themselves into troughs. The first one of which is will move across the eastern CONUS on Wednesday. With high pressure over the Atlantic, southerly flow returns ahead of this trough contributing to an increase in moisture with PWAT (Precipitable Water) in the 1.2 to 1.5 inch range. However, instability seems to be lacking with this event, thus robust convection isn't currently anticipated. A brief dry period is expected after this trough until Saturday evening when a potential Gulf low moves across the Gulf Coast states. This second disturbance is may follow the first one in that instability will be lacking, but moisture will be present. However, this system may also have moderate shear as a better defined low level jet appears to set up across the region. There's uncertainty with this event and it's potential impacts, be sure to check back for updates. Expect overnight lows to generally be in the upper 20s and 30s with the exception being Thursday and Friday morning as temps warm up slight ahead of the cold front. Expect daytime highs to warm slightly over the next few days reaching the low to mid 60s by Thursday, followed by a drop into the 40s after Friday with highs struggling to reach 50 degrees through Sunday.
