Northwest Florida

[virgo10]

No rain here in Polk county yet. Lots of storms moving to our north and south but it's like we've got a force field over us and there's nothing here.

[ChessieStorm]

Virgo, Mike Clay explained on BayNews 9 that the storms that formed earlier in Polk and he said it was like milk being spilled on a table and it spreads out in all directions and he showed it on radar that this hole opened up in Polk with convection formed in all directions outside of Polk.

[Alex]

Despite high rain chances during the day on Thursday, we received nothing and it was mainly sunny all day. However after midnight some distant rumbles started and we got a small squall line of storms move through. A few decent rumbles of thunder and my brother said that CG strikes were visible to the north. A bit eerie at the end with the moon lit overhead and lightning lit clouds below.

[ChessieStorm]

We too had high rain chances and there were numerous showers and thunderstorms which developed around us all day till sunset. Many of these were within 5 miles of home and we didn't get a single drop of rain.

So we feel your pain as well.

[Alex]

Alex if you look at a water vapor image you'll see you are in dry slot. It's slowly making it's way over here.
But, on the horizon for next weekend and beyond the models have been hinting of a low coming out of the Caribbean. Depending on the track and evolution it could be a wet one.
Stay tuned.

Excessive Heat Warning, Heat Advisory

Statement as of 10:45 AM CDT on June 21, 2009

... Excessive heat warning remains in effect until 10 am CDT
Monday...
... Heat advisory remains in effect from 10 am to 7 PM CDT
Monday...

An excessive heat warning remains in effect until 10 am CDT
Monday. A heat advisory remains in effect from 10 am to 7 PM CDT
Monday.

Daytime highs will range from 99 to 103 degrees this afternoon and
again on Monday. These temperatures combined with dewpoints in the
lower 70s... will result in heat indices in excess of 110 degrees.
Meanwhile overnight lows will only fall into the low 80s tonight.
These conditions will greatly increase the risk of heat related
illness. An excessive heat warning may be required again on Monday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous
situation in which heat illnesses are likely.

==
Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 10:52 AM CDT on June 21, 2009

... Highest heat indices thus far in this current string of very hot days...

... .heat advisory upgraded to an excessive heat warning for coastal
Alabama and extreme northwest Florida Panhandle...

... Heat advisory expanded inland to now include portions of interior
southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama counties generally east
of I-65...

... Please take the heat seriously...

At 10 am CDT... Sunday 21 June 2009... latest surface observations
indicate that surface temperatures have already risen into the 88 to
93 degree range. The latest model data indicates that maximum
afternoon heat indices today could even be warmer than yesterday when
the Mercury climbed into the 99 to 102 degree range region wide with
heat indices near 110 degrees locally.

Little relief will occur overnight since nighttime hours are
shortened due to it being the longest day of the year!

The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to
create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible.

Based on overnight minimum temperatures in the upper 70s to mid
80s along the coast and east of I-65 over portions of interior South
Alabama... a heat advisory has been upgraded to an excessive heat
warning.

While this afternoon's temperatures will again climb to near the
century mark... plus or minus a degree or two... the addition of a bit
more moisture will drive heat indices higher than recent past days.
Our region will endure some of the highest heat indices yet...
climbing to between 108 and 114 degrees region wide.

An excessive heat warning means that heat indices will climb to 110
degrees or higher with overnight lows not falling below 80 degrees.
A heat advisory means that heat indices will climb to a minimum of 108
degrees with overnight lows not falling below 78 degrees.

There are some indications that the strong high pressure that brought
this heat will move west Monday and Tuesday allowing for only slightly
lower heat indices... probably not falling below the heat advisory
criteria though.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
321 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2009

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...THE RECORD HIGH HAS ALREADY BEEN
SHATTERED THIS AFTERNOON AT PENSACOLA AS THEY HAVE REACHED AN
IMPRESSIVE 101 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON (OLD RECORD OF 98 SET BACK IN
2006.) MOBILE HAS REACHED 99 SO FAR TODAY...WHICH IS 1 DEGREE AWAY
FROM TYING THE RECORD HIGH OF 100 SET ALL THE WAY BACK IN 1881.
UNFORTUNATELY...THIS HEAT WAVE IS NOT OVER WITH YET AS WE WILL SEE
ANOTHER NIGHT OF OPPRESSIVE LOW TEMPS NEAR 80 ALONG THE COAST TO LOW
TO MID 70S IN THE INTERIOR. A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTH AND EAST TOMORROW DUE TO THE AMPLIFIED TROUGH OVER THE EAST
COAST AND THE UPPER RIDGE SLIDING SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE WEST. GIVEN
THE EXCESSIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURES...ONE WOULD THINK THAT WITH A
BOUNDARY DRIFTING INTO THE AREA...THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WOULD
REALLY INCREASE. THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE THIS GO AROUND. WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE/TROUGH CONFIGURATION...OUR FLOW WILL BE DEEP NORTH
TO NORTHWESTERLY TOMORROW...AIDING IN A VERY DEEPLY MIXED AND DRY
BOUNDARY LAYER WITH HIGH LCL HEIGHTS. THEREFORE...IT WILL BE HARD FOR
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP IN THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT. WE WILL HAVE TO
WATCH FOR ANY SHORTWAVES THAT MAY DIVE SOUTH ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF
THE UPPER TROUGH...WHICH MAY ENHANCE THE PRECIP POTENTIAL SLIGHTLY.
FOR NOW WITH THE LACK OF ANY LARGE SCALE FORCING...HAVE TAPERED POPS
TO ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE AND CONFINED TO THE EAST. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES
DO NOT BUDGE MUCH TOMORROW...SO TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO CLOSE TO
THE VALUES SEEN TODAY...UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100. HEAT INDICES ARE ONCE
AGAIN FORECAST TO BE CLOSE TO 110 ALONG THE COAST TO 104-108
INLAND...THUS THE HEAT WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE AS IS.
GIVEN THE DEEPLY MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER...DEWPOINTS MAY MIX OUT IN THE
AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY ALONG AND WEST OF I-65...WHICH WOULD CUT
DOWN ON HEAT INDICES SLIGHTLY.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...MODELS ARE COMING INTO
GOOD AGREEMENT OF A WEAK SFC LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NW FL PANHANDLE
TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING AND MOVING WEST INTO LOUISIANA BY
THURSDAY MORNING. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IS STILL LACKING ON
WEDNESDAY AND WILL LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES ONCE AGAIN TO SLIGHT
CHANCE. AS THE SFC LOW TREKS WEST...A SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL COMMENCE
ONCE AGAIN AND PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...GRADUALLY INCREASING OUR
MOISTURE LEVELS. THEREFORE...AFTER ANOTHER SCORCHER ON WEDNESDAY (MID
TO UPPER 90S)...WE SHOULD SEE A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
IN THE LOWER 90S WITH A TYPICALLY DIURNAL CHANCE OF CONVECTION (POPS
GENERALLY 30-40 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOON)...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE
SEABREEZE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
445 AM CDT TUE JUN 23 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...RECORD TO NEAR RECORD HEAT AROUND
THE CENTURY MARK AND OPPRESSIVE HEAT INDICES IS AGAIN ON THE
FOREFRONT OF THE DISCUSSION. FORECASTED A HIGH OF 100 FOR MOBILE
TODAY...AND IF THIS DOES OCCUR WOULD TIE THE RECORD SET BACK IN
1882. EVEN THE BEACHES WILL BE VERY HOT DUE TO THE LACK OF A
DEVELOPING ONSHORE FLOW. FORECASTED A HIGH OF 101 FOR PENSACOLA
TODAY...AND IF THIS DOES OCCUR WOULD BREAK THE RECORD OF 99 SET BACK
IN 1944.

DEWPOINTS WILL ALSO REMAIN IN THE LOWER 70S...AND COMBINED WITH THE
HIGH TEMPS WILL PUSH HEAT INDICES TO BETWEEN 106 AND 111 DEGREES. AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING FOR
THE COASTAL ZONES OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE WHERE THE HIGHEST INDICES WILL OCCUR. A HEAT ADVISORY ALSO
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM FOR THE INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI...MOST OF INLAND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...AND INLAND WESTERN
FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

UPPER HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS...WHILE A SERIES OF WEAK IMPULSES MOVING SOUTH ALONG THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO OUR EASTERN
ZONES BY LATE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR EASTERN ZONES...BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER 3 PM.
ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE OVER THE REMAINDER OF OUR FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT...WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SOUTH
UNTIL AROUND 3 AM. FOR SOME AREAS (THE LUCKY ONES) AFFECTED BY ONE
OF THESE PASSING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE THE FIRST
MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IN NEARLY THREE WEEKS.

MINIMUM TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN AROUND 80
DEGREES ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S INLAND
AREAS.


THIS AFTERNOON`S WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE.

FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WEDNESDAY STARTS WITH THE FRONT
WHICH PASSED THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE LAND
FA...BUT STILL STRETCHED ACROSS THE MARINE FA AND THE UPPER HIGH
WHICH HAS CAUSED THE UNSEASONABLY HOT WEATHER CENTERED OVER THE PLAINS.
GUIDANCE STILL CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A SURFACE LOW ORGANIZING
ALONG/BEHIND THE BOUNDARY WEDNESDAY...THEN MOVING IT WEST...BRINGING
BACK ONSHORE FLOW AND ALLOWING A GULF BREEZE FRONT TO MOVE ONSHORE
AND PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR PRECIP GENERATION...MAINLY OVER EASTERN
AREAS THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE AN EASING IN THE NEAR RECORD DAYTIME
TEMPS WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THOUGH THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP
OVERNIGHT TEMPS WELL ABOVE SEASONAL...ESPECIALLY OVER NEAR COASTAL
AREAS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT ON)GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING AN UPPER
TROUGH FORMING OVER THE EASTERN CONUS INTO THE WEEKEND AS AN UPPER
SYSTEM SWINGS EAST ALONG THE US/CA BORDER. GUIDANCE IS ALSO
ADVERTISING A WEAK SURFACE FRONT GETTING PUSHED SOUTH OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS BY THIS SYSTEM. GFS IS ADVERTISING A MORE AGGRESSIVE
SOUTHWARD PUSH OF THIS FRONT THAN THE ECMWF...RESULTING IN A GREATER
CHANCE FOR RAIN FOR THE FA. WITH THE UPPER HIGH WELL TO THE
WEST...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL SETTLE BACK CLOSER TO SEASONAL VALUES. ANY
CHANCES FOR RAIN THE REST OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL SEE
CONTENTION BETWEEN THE SUPPRESSION SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD...AND A DAILY GULF BREEZE. HAVE LITTLE CONSISTENCY
TO HANG THE FORECAST HAT ON...SO HAVE GENERALLY STUCK WITH GUIDANCE.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...CONFIDENCE INCREASES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY AS AN UPPER SYSTEM SWINGING EAST OVER THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS
OVER THE WEEKEND...PUSHING A FRONT SOUTH TO OVER THE TENN RIVER
VALLEY BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS FRONT CONTINUES TO GET PUSHED SOUTH OVER
THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR RAIN IN THE COMING
WORK WEEK.

[Joe-Nathan]

Just got about 30min of rain w/ lots of lighting here on the beach in Nivarre. It was 103 in Pensacola before the rain. I hope this will end the excessive heat wave.

Did notice that it is 99 in Laf., LA with a popcorn shower just south of town.:)
