257 PM EDT Sun Jun 24 2018

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

Isolated showers can be noted on radar across the Florida Panhandle
and marine area this afternoon. We will continue to see some
development over the next few hours with the best PoPs over the
Florida Panhandle and Big Bend region, but overall, the coverage
will remain below normal. This is the last day before we'll see our
PoPs return to more normal summertime values. With loss of daytime
heating, showers and thunderstorms will quickly diminish tonight,
however as some may linger after 00z, have included 10-20% for the
00-03z timeframe. Lows tonight will once again be in the mid 70s
with upper 70s along the coast. With these values, have the
potential to tie record high minimum temperature again at TLH (76
in 2010/1930).

.SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday Night]...

Deep-layer, east-west oriented ridge axis will remain in place along
the Gulf Coast through the period. Temperatures will be typical of
summer, albeit a couple degrees above long-term averages. Look for
highs in the lower to mid 90s and lows mainly in the mid 70s. Heat
indices will fall short of local advisory criteria (108 degrees).
PoPs will be close to climatology in the 40-50% range for most
areas, slightly lower near the coast.

.LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Sunday]...

Nothing extraordinary is looming through next weekend, just typical
summertime weather. Look for scattered thunderstorms each day and
hot and humid conditions.

&&

.AVIATION [Through 18Z Monday]...

Scattered TSRA remain possible around the TAF sites, mainly TLH and
ECP, this afternoon with the storms diminishing after 00-01z. TSRA
is too isolated in nature to mention in the TAFs besides VC. Besides
any TSRA, VFR conditions are expected through the afternoon and
evening.

&&

.MARINE...

Winds will be mainly onshore and light, typical of summer, but
becoming more westerly for the middle and latter part of the week.
Seas will generally be 2 feet or less. Of course, winds and seas
will be locally higher in and near thunderstorms.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Hazardous fire weather conditions are not expected through much of
the next week. Chances for wetting rains will become more widespread
from mid week onward.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Other than localized nuisance ponding of water in any brief heavy
downpours over the next several days, flooding is not currently a
concern.

&&

.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.
