Flash Flood Warning 8, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
400 PM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015

.Near Term [Through Tonight]...

Thunderstorm coverage is widespread so far this afternoon. Expect
storms to linger into the night. With plenty of moisture and
sufficient instability, will keep PoPs above guidance again tonight,
around 20-40 percent. The  Tonight will feel muggy with temps and
dewpoints in the mid 70s.

.Short Term [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]...

On Wednesday, the trough over the Atlantic Seaboard will begin to
move out into the Atlantic. By Thursday, the ridge to the west
will begin to move into the region. However, sfc features (weak
low pressure and cool/stationary boundaries) will still be present
to sustain the increased rain chances. Afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will be more numerous particularly along the
seabreeze. With instability already in place, a few severe
thunderstorms are likely with the main threat being damaging
winds. A cool front will likely move in bringing nocturnal
convection particularly near the coast for Wednesday night and
Thursday night. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s with heat
indices in excess of 100 degrees.

.Long Term [Friday Through Tuesday]...

An upper level ridge will be over the region throughout most of
this forecast period. However, sfc features (weak low pressure and
cool/stationary boundaries) will still be present to sustain the
increased rain chances. The best chance for rain and thunderstorms
will be in the eastern and southeastern counties of Georgia and
Florida. Nocturnal convection is likely near the coast and over
the Gulf. Expect this wet pattern to continue into next week as
weak low pressure will linger at the sfc. This pattern will bring
some relief to the heat, particularly in the southeast portion of
the region where rain and clouds will prevail. Afternoon highs
will be in the low to mid 90s.
