Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
343 AM EDT Tue Oct 9 2018
.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...
Deep layer ridging will begin to lose its hold on the region today.
Low-level easterly moisture advection in a strengthening gradient
flow pattern will result in scattered to numerous convergent forced
showers across the region today. Highs are forecast to finally be
below 90 degrees region-wide.
.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Thursday]...
Primary concern through the short term period is rainfall associated
with Hurricane Michael. Widespread totals of 5 to 7 inches with
isolated maximum amounts to 10 inches are possible. These rainfall
amounts will result in flash flooding.
Current river conditions are below normal levels. With the
anticipated rainfall, expect some of our river basins to rise above
flood stage. This appears most likely in the Ochlockonee River
basin, where there's potential that a couple of sites reach moderate
flood levels.
Other river basins will experience rises, but based on the latest
track of Michael, rises into action stage are anticipated at this
time in the Choctawhatchee and Chipola basins.
.LONG TERM [Thursday Night Through Tuesday]...
The current NHC forecast takes Michael into the Carolinas as a
tropical storm on Thursday. By that time, direct impacts from
Michael should be subsiding. As recovery efforts get underway,
expect rain showers and breezy conditions on Thursday. High
temperatures in the mid 80s combined with dew points in the
mid 70s will make for uncomfortable heat indices in the middle
90s, especially for those without air conditioning.
A dry stretch of weather is forecast Thursday night through
Saturday night, along with a cooler and drier air mass.
Temperatures will be more seasonable with highs in the low
to mid 80s and lows in the mid 50s to mid 60s.
For Sunday through Tuesday, a complex pattern sets up which
leads to uncertainty in the sensible weather details. The
area will reside between a cold front approaching from the
west, high pressure nosing down the eastern seaboard, and
greater subtropical moisture to the east. This leads to the
potential for increased shower activity during this period.
&&
.AVIATION [Through 06Z Wednesday]...
VFR conditions overnight will become MVFR in the morning. Showers
are expected in the afternoon and evening as Hurricane Michael moves
closer to the Panhandle and Big Bend coasts. Winds will be breezy
with gusts of 25 knots expected. Outer rain bands could move into
the region as early as this evening or tonight.
&&
.MARINE...
Hurricane Michael is expected to have a major impact
on the area. Hurricane conditions are looking increasingly
likely with the worst conditions expected on Wednesday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Red Flag conditions are not expected.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Given the track and intensity of Hurricane Michael, widespread
rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated 12 inch amounts are
possible. The highest of these totals will be in the Florida
panhandle and western Big Bend counties along and to the east of the
track of Michael. These rainfall amounts will result in flash
flooding.
Current river conditions are below normal levels. With the
anticipated rainfall, expect some of our river basins to rise above
flood stage. This appears most likely in the Ochlockonee River
basin, where there's potential that a couple of sites reach moderate
flood levels.
