Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
400 PM EDT Fri Aug 31 2018

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

The Atlantic seabreeze will continue to drive convection through the
evening hours across the region through the evening hours. As
expected, instability has increased as low morning clouds have mixed
out over the past several hours. As a result, thunderstorm coverage
will continue to increase over the next several hours with the
potential for a few isolated strong storms capable of producing
damaging wind gusts. As has been the case over the past several
days, showers and storms will gradually diminish into the overnight
hours, giving way to mostly cloudy conditions. Lows will fall into
the low 70s overnight.

.SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday Night]...

High pressure centered along the east coast will build westward
through the short term with southeast winds becoming more
easterly. We will remain in the pattern with low clouds each
morning and scattered afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms.
While the entire CWA is vulnerable to convection this weekend, the
better focus will be across the southern half of the CWA Saturday
and the Big Bend area on Sunday. Highs temperatures will range
from the upper 80s to lower 90s with lows in the lower 70s.

.LONG TERM [Monday Through Friday]...

The deep layer ridge will amplify over the Eastern Seaboard. This
will allow for continuous easterly and southeasterly moist flow
from the Atlantic. Thus, PoPs will remain high through the long
term with the highest chances of precipitation during the
afternoon along the Atlantic and Gulf seabreezes.

A well defined tropical wave located just north of the Dominican
Republic will propagate NW towards the Gulf of Mexico for the
next few days. At this time, strong development is not expected
with this system due to strong vertical wind shear ahead of the
storm. However, the environment could become more conducive for
development once the disturbance makes it to the Gulf of Mexico.
The NHC gives this system a 0% chance of development and and a
10% chance of development into a tropical cyclone in the next 48
and 120 hours respectively.

Expected impacts to our CWA regarding this system are enhanced
moisture levels and higher precipitation chances during the
Monday to Wednesday time frame. Folks should remain attentive and
continue to monitor this system for any development. This system
is a good reminder that were are in the climatologically most
active period of the hurricane season and individuals should have
their hurricane safety kit ready.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 18Z Saturday]...

SCT SHRA/TSRA continue to slowly develop across the region at this
hour. Expect activity to increase in coverage late this afternoon
and this evening, affecting all terminals. Reductions in vsby and
CIGS expected under any storms. CIGs will lower once again prior to
sunrise, with MVFR to IFR conditions expected at most sites.
Prevailing wind out of the southeast AOB 10kts through the period.

&&

.MARINE...

Southeasterly winds will prevail through the period at speeds
generally no less than 10 to 15 knots. Periods of cautionary
conditions will be possible at times through early next week. Seas
will generally range from 2 to 4 feet, with periods of 3 to 5
feet possible with the highest winds early next week. Elevated
chances for showers and thunderstorms will exist through the
period, with the highest chances on Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

With RH above critical fire weather thresholds, Red Flag conditions
are not expected for the next few days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Widespread rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches are expected over the
next week. Each day, heavy rain will be possible that may cause
localized minor flooding in urbanized and poor drainage areas.

A tropical wave early next week has the potential to track across
the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and the track of this wave will
influence our rainfall amounts early next week. At this time,
widespread rainfall amounts are on the lower side and the main
focus would be on the higher rainfall rates causing issues in
urbanized and poor drainage areas. With this wave still a few
days out, it's important at this point to continue to monitor the
forecast this weekend.

&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always
encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they
occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.
