.SHORT TERM...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL FL TONIGHT THEN MOVE NE OVER THE ATLANTIC SUNDAY. THIS SURFACE SYSTEM HAS A WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT MOVES ACROSS N FL SUNDAY MORNING THEN INTO THE ATLANTIC. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND A SHORT WAVE RIDGE BUILD TOWARD THE AREA FOR MONDAY.
THE PROBLEM WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR MIXED PRECIP TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY ACROSS CENTRAL GA. THE 1000-500 THICKNESS APPEARS TOO WARM FOR SNOW BEING 545 OR ABOVE AT 12Z SUNDAY AND WARMER OVER THE FAR SE AND WARMER PREVIOUS TO 12Z SUNDAY. HOWEVER...1000-850 THICKNESS DECREASES TO 1304-1308 OVER CENTRAL GA AT 12Z SUNDAY WHICH INDICATES A POTENTIAL RAIN/SLEET MIX. IT APPEARS SURFACE TEMPERATURES FOR THE MOST PART WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH FOR FREEZING RAIN BUT THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR AREAS E OF MCN.
.LONG TERM...
A DRY FORECAST LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM UP THROUGH WEEKS END.
AND WE HEARD HIM EXCLAIM AS HE RODE OUT OF SIGHT...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF NOAA...IT WAS A GREAT FORECAST TONIGHT!!!
