Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 301 PM EDT Wed Jul 26 2017 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... An upper level shortwave near the Georgia coast will persist through the near term. An MCV rotating over southeast Georgia this afternoon will help to generate scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms particularly in a stretch from TLH to VLD (higher chances near VLD). Convection will be on a diminishing trend after 00z with the better chances (30-40%) remaining across the eastern portion of the CWA. For the second half of tonight, PoPs will decrease to about 20 percent with the focus still across the eastern portion of the CWA, but with the addition of the coastal areas. Lows overnight will only drop into the mid 70s inland to upper 70s along the coast. .SHORT TERM [Thursday Through Friday Night]... The weak upper low over the southeast will continue to influence rain chances for Thursday. PoPs will be in the 30-50% range with the highest in south Georgia and the Big Bend.

Highs will be in the lower 90s with warmer temps to the west where rain chances are lower. .LONG TERM [Saturday Through Wednesday]... The trough over the eastern US will shift east through the period. It will bring a weak front that will increase shower and thunderstorm chances for the weekend. Drier air will arrive by late Sunday before rain chances increase again mid week. PoPs will generally be 30-60% with the highest chances in the Big Bend. Highs will be in the upper 80s with lows in the low 70s. && .AVIATION [Through 18Z Thursday]...
