Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:27 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 327 PM EDT Sat Jun 9 2018 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Shower and thunderstorms activity that is currently developing across the tri-state region will gradually diminish with the loss of daytime heating this evening. An area of showers and embedded thunderstorms may linger well into the evening hours. The best chances will be focused west of the Apalachicola/Chattahoochee Rivers where low level convergence is greatest between the surface ridge centered over the northern Gulf of Mexico and surface low pressure off of the southeast coast. Late tonight, light patchy fog will be possible across portions of the region, mainly due to wet soils and light surface winds. Overnight lows in the low 70s are expected. .SHORT TERM [Sunday Through Monday Night]... Upper level troughing will continue over the region through the period with sufficient moisture in place. Expect scattered to numerous diurnal thunderstorms with the mean 1000-700mb flow from the west to southwest. Thunderstorms will be aided by interaction with the afternoon sea breeze and outflow boundaries. Highs will be around 90 with lows around 70. .LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Saturday]... Th overall pattern surface and aloft should be relatively unchanged through the upcoming week. Thus, expect near to above seasonal chances (40-60%) for rain each day. Highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s. && .AVIATION [Through 18Z Sunday]... VFR conditions will prevail at all sites this afternoon outside of SHRA/TSRA. Reductions in CIGs and vsby can be expected under any activity, with gusty and erratic winds also possible. All sites will have the potential to see impacts this afternoon, with SHRA/TSRA coverage diminishing after sunset this evening. Patchy fog will be possible once again lat tonight at VLD, with low end MVFR to high end IFR conditions possible. MVFR vsbys also possible at TLH. && .MARINE... Winds of 10 knots or less, generally from the west to southwest, will result in 1 to 2 foot seas. && .FIRE WEATHER... With light winds and RH values above critical levels, there are no fire weather concerns over the next few days. && .HYDROLOGY... The Withlacoochee River near Pinetta and Fenholloway River at Foley both remain near their lower thresholds of action stage, and these gauges are likely to drop below action stage later today. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will produce brief, isolated areas of heavy rain each day across our area, but this is not expected to result in any river flooding. && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
