Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
648 AM EDT Thu Jun 22 2017

.AVIATION [Through 12Z Friday]...

A band of heavy rain is gradually drifting east across the FL
Panhandle and SE Alabama this morning, and could impact ECP and
DHN with brief periods of reduced visibility (MVFR/IFR) before
weakening and/or moving out of our area later this morning.
Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected for the rest of the period
at all terminals. South-southeasterly winds will increase across
our area later this morning, with a few gusts to 15-20 kts
possible from late morning through the afternoon.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [401 AM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...

Wednesday evening's surface analysis showed Tropical Storm Cindy
approaching the central Gulf Coast, with a weak baroclinic zone
extending eastward from the storm center through Panama City. This
boundary may have helped a few of the weakly-rotating convective
cells to acquire tighter low-level circulations over our western
zones, but recent trends and the RAP has this feature weakening
over the next several hours, which should reduce the threat of
tornadoes.

The NWP models are in good agreement in a deep-layer ridge (and
drier mid tropospheric air) developing across our forecast area
today. Our rain chances will diminish to 20% across much of our
forecast area. There will be more sun than the past few days so high
temperatures will reach the lower 90s.

.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Saturday]...

A deep-layer and drier air aloft will continue across our forecast
area through early Saturday. PoPs will be 30% or less, with the
greatest rain chances during the daylight hours. By late Saturday a
deep-layer trough will develop northwest of our forecast area.
Increasing moisture and Q-G forcing ahead of this feature will lead
to higher PoPs around Dothan and Albany (50%) Saturday afternoon,
with 20-30% PoPs elsewhere. Temperatures will be near average, with
lows in the 70s and highs in the lower to mid 90s.

.LONG TERM [Saturday Night Through Thursday]...

Rain chances will return to near climo levels for most of our region
by Sunday and into early next week with a deep layer trough in the
vicinity. The global are split as to whether or not the accompanying
surface cold front moves far enough south of our forecast area to
bring drier, sinking air (and low PoPs) to some or all of our
region, so we will blend the different solutions and call for
somewhat below-average PoPs and temperatures temperatures beyond
Monday, especially from Tallahassee north and westward where there
is a greater chance of drying.

.MARINE...

Winds and seas will gradually subside from east to west today, as
Tropical Storm Cindy moves ashore and weakens. However, high surf
and frequent rip currents will continue into Friday. A return to low
winds and seas is expected by this weekend as a surface ridge
develops across the marine area.

.FIRE WEATHER...

No concerns.

.HYDROLOGY...

Heavy rain remains possible this morning, mainly west of Panama City
and Dothan. However the threat of flooding is too low for a Flood
Watch. Fortunately organized heavy rain is unlikely through early
next week, so widespread river flooding/flash flooding is not
anticipated.

Despite the recent rains, some of which was locally heavy on Tuesday
and Wednesday, the latest river model guidance does not have any of
our rivers going to flood stage. However, a few sites may get close
along some of the smaller rivers , mainly the Shoal River at Mossy
Head, and Bruce Creek near Red Bay.
