Situation Report #: 1

December Severe Weather

December 15, 2007 / 4pm

 

Emergency Operations Center 

Level: 3 Monitoring

 

 

Current Situation:

 

A strong cold front is poised to move through West Central Florida late
Saturday night into Sunday morning. The remnants of Tropical Storm Olga will
bring moisture and instability into the area as well as it merges with the
cold front.  This will result in the potential threat for severe weather
along with a strong pre-frontal squall line.

 

The arrival of the strongest weather will occur after midnight tonight with
2am to 6am on Sunday being the height of the activity.  Strong super cell
thunderstorms and tornados are possible.  Once these storms begin we can
expect at least 2 to 3 hours of severe conditions.  Rainfall totals will
average at least 1" across the region with some isolated amounts of 2" to 4"
or more possible with individual storm cells.

 

Once the squall line and cold front pass through the area winds will be from
the Northwest.  Sunday will be a very windy day with sustained winds near 30
to 35 miles per hours most of the day with higher gusts in some areas.  High
profile vehicle drivers should make note of conditions in your area. 

 

Cold temperatures will occur Sunday and Monday night.  Low's will be in the
low 30's.  A wind chill advisory is possible Monday and Tuesday.  There is
also the potential for light to moderate frost.

 

County Actions:

 

Emergency Management Operations is monitoring this event.  We have been
participating in conference calls with the National Weather Service and
State EOC.  There are no plans to staff the EOC overnight however staff is
available to respond as needed.   The American Red Cross has been briefed
are also ready to respond.

 

Any weather related damage should be reported to Emergency Management via
Comm-C.  These reports will get relayed to the National Weather Service.

 

State Actions:

 

The state EOC is not activated.  FDEM Operations staff is monitoring this
event.
