NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
215 PM EDT Mon Aug 12 2013
A long wave trough will remain in place from the Great Lakes to the
central Gulf Coast early in the period as a reinforcing short wave
in the northern plains drops into the trough, resulting in a closed
low over the Lower Mississippi Valley by Saturday. This low
gradually fills and weakens, leaving behind a weak trough for early
next week with an axis still to our west
The end result is a prolonged period of rain for the southeast with
periods of heavy rain likely. Total rainfall from the GFS indicates
areas of rain up to 10 inches across the FL panhandle through
Monday, due in part to its development of a tropical cyclone in the
gulf which it brings into the FL panhandle Saturday.
