Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 3:12 PM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 312 PM EDT Thu Jun 1 2017 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Afternoon convection should linger til 7-9pm ET before dissipating. Lack of any significant forcing suggests that there should be little if any storm development over land during the overnight hours. However, model guidance is in very good agreement that showers and storms should develop after 1 am ET or so over the offshore waters of Panama City. A few of these storms could near the Panhandle coast around sunrise on Friday. With extensive cloudiness over the area tonight, do not anticipate any fog development. Temperatures will continue to be on the warm side, in the lower 70s. .SHORT TERM [Friday Through Saturday Night]... In the upper levels slight ridging will be in place. At the surface a weak pressure gradient will be in place. Rain chances will be high throughout this timeframe due to the abundance of low level moisture advecting in from the Gulf. POPs will be highest in the afternoon and evening hours (50 t 60 percent for most of the region). In the overnight hours POPs will be 20 to 40 percent with the highest POPs near the coast. Skies will be mostly cloudy. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Lows will be near 70. .LONG TERM [Sunday Through Thursday]... In the upper levels flow will be near zonal until a deep trough digs into the region on Monday. At the surface a weak pressure gradient will be in place, but a cold front somehow manages to move through the region on Tuesday night. Dry air will move in behind the cold front. POPs will be 50 to 60 percent on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. POPs will be 30 to 40 percent during the overnight hours on Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night. Temps will be cooler than average due to increased cloud cover and the frontal passage. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. && .AVIATION [Through 18Z Friday]... VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the period. Showers and thunderstorms are developing across Srn AL and Swrn GA and it is expected that these will affect the ABY/DHN terminals between 19z and 23z. Thereafter, thunderstorms should dissipate with mainly mid and higher level clouds in place over the region. Thus, no fog restrictions are anticipated overnight or Friday morning. && .MARINE... Winds and seas will be light through this weekend. A wet pattern will be in place until mid next week. Thunderstorms can cause locally higher winds and seas. && .FIRE WEATHER... Relative humidity levels will remain well above critical thresholds, with rain in the forecast over the next several days. The only factor of note will be the low dispersion indices expected over the next couple of days. && .HYDROLOGY... Local rivers remain steady at this time. A wet pattern will be in place until a cold front moves through on Tuesday night. Forecast rain totals through the next seven days are 2.5 to 4 inches in the Florida Counties, 2 to 3 inches in the Southeast Alabama Counties and 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the Southwest Georgia Counties. River flooding is not expected. Some flooding of roadways can't be ruled out over the next few days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
