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. By Friday upper
level flow becomes more zonal ahead of the approaching trough.
Friday PoPs will be slightly lower 20-40%. 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]...

VFR conditions are expected across the TAF sites this afternoon,
with the exception being in any thunderstorm that moves over a TAF
site. SHRA and TSRA is expected this afternoon with the better
chances at TLH and VLD. Convection will diminish this evening.
MVFR fog and even a site or two with LIFR cigs will be possible in
the morning.
