NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
946 AM EDT FRI OCT 31 2008

.UPDATE...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE
LOW TO MID 70S WILL BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. THE
OVERNIGHT LOWS WERE MUCH MORE PLEASANT THAN THE PREVIOUS FEW
MORNINGS. THE LOWS RANGED FROM 38 IN ALBANY TO 51/50 AT PANAMA
CITY AND APALACHICOLA. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTHEAST OF THE
LOCAL AREA WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE REGION
INTO TEXAS WILL REMAIN THE DOMINATE SYNOPTIC FEATURE INTO THE
WEEKEND. LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEAST FLOW STREAMING ACROSS THE
AREA HAS ALLOWED THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TO SLIGHTLY RISE...MAINLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA. AS A
RESULT...EXPECT TO SEE A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVERAGE OVER THESE
AREAS TODAY. THE 12Z TAE SOUNDING SHOWS THIS SLIGHT INCREASE IN
MOISTURE BETWEEN 900 AND 850 MB...THEN DRYING OUT ABOVE THIS
LAYER. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IS ON TRACK AND NO MAJOR UPDATES ARE
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR NORTH REMAINS THE DOMINATE PLAYER IN THE
AREA`S WEATHER. EXPECTING NORTHEAST FLOW THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT
HOURS GENERALLY BETWEEN 6 AND 12 MPH DISSIPATING BACK TO AROUND 5
MPH AFTER SUNSET. EASTERLY FLOW WILL BEGIN BRINGING MORE PROLONGED
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK TO THE SOUTHERN TERMINALS DURING TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY WITH A SCT-BKN STRATACU FIELD RETURNING TO THE
SKIES ABOVE KTLH...KVLD...AND POSSIBLY KPFN.
