Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 3:35 PM EDT, 5 hours 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 335 PM EDT Fri Jul 26 2013 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... With the relatively dry airmass in place over the region and minimal convection expected this afternoon, expect a dry forecast overnight with low temperatures in the lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Monday]... A quite familiar theme to this summer, yet another Upper level trof will become reestablished across the SE U.S. on Sat. and Sun., but at least this time, conditions are not expected to be nearly as unsettled as the last few events. Deep layer moisture is not nearly as high as the past few weeks. as blended TPWs (sat. estimated PWATS) are only peaking in the 1.5" range where the moisture from the trof will be advecting from. Therefore, only expect modest increases in PoPs and near climo temps. && .LONG TERM [Monday Night through Friday]... The extended period may actually begin with a brief period of Upper Level ridging lingering through much of the day on Tuesday, before this relatively hot and dry ridge retrogrades back into TX. This will allow the all too familiar Upper Level trough to become reestablished down the eastern seaboard, spelling a likely return to above normal PoPs and QPF across the CWA for much of the period. Thus far, guidance temps are coming in quite warm, but have a feeling Max temps may need to be reduced over time depending on how unsettled conditions become. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the forecast period. KABY and KVLD may see a brief period of MVFR vsby around sunrise. Winds will remain light through the period. && .MARINE... High pressure will continue to dominate at the surface with generally light winds and low seas continuing through the period. && .FIRE WEATHER... Red flag conditions are not anticipated through the weekend. && .HYDROLOGY... There are still several river points lingering in either action stage or minor flood stage. However, additional rainfall over the next couple of days will be quite minimal at best, with no further contributions expected to increased flow.
