Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 2:49 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 349 PM EDT FRI JUL 15 2016 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Convection this afternoon is spreading into Southern Georgia, with a fair amount of storms still developing back near the coast in the Florida Big bend. Should see fairly high coverage of storms this afternoon so have increased PoPs through the evening to near 60 percent across the eastern half of the region. Expect showers and thunderstorms to diminish between 10pm and 12am, much like last night. Expect another round of offshore convection overnight as well getting started perhaps around 3-4am. Patchy fog inland will be possible tonight, especially at locations that received heavy rainfall this afternoon/evening. Lows will continue to be on the warm side, generally in the mid to upper 70s. .SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday Night]... A weak upper level +PV anomaly over the Great Lakes will swing eastward across the northeast through Sunday night. The associated enhanced upper level divergence may help aid or sustain storm development in our southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia counties. Otherwise, the main forcing mechanisms for thunderstorms this weekend will be the north Florida sea-breeze front, the Atlantic sea- breeze front and outflow boundaries from collapsing storms. This will make for another active couple of days with 40-50% chances for storms across much of the area. Maximum temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s, with maximum apparent temperatures around 100. Minimum temperatures will dip to the low to mid 70s overnight. .LONG TERM [Monday Through Friday]... Broad upper level high pressure will build over much of the southern CONUS next week with a few short waves swinging across the Great Lakes and northeast throughout the week. Around the mid-week, some of the models show one of these waves amplifying and digging into the Appalachians. This will increase our chances for showers and thunderstorms for Thursday and Friday. Highs will be in the mid 90s and lows will be in the mid 70s. && .AVIATION [Through 18Z Saturday]... Scattered thunderstorms will continue moving north today, affecting primarily the TLH/VLD/ABY terminals. Conditions may drop to IFR levels at times in these storms. After 01z, expect storms to diminish considerably. With all the storm activity near the TLH/VLD/ABY terminals today, anticipate MVFR/IFR vsbys possible before sunrise at these sites. Any restrictions should end by 13z with VFR conditions expected thereafter. && .MARINE... Light winds and seas will prevail through at least mid next week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will be highest in the late night and early morning hours. && .FIRE WEATHER... Hazardous fire weather conditions are not expected. && .HYDROLOGY... Widespread significant flooding is not expected for the next several days. However, isolated flooding and quick rises on rapid response (smaller basin) rivers may occur with localized heavy rainfall from daily sea-breeze thunderstorms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
