Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
144 PM EDT Sun Oct 18 2020

.AVIATION...
[Through 18Z Monday]

Scattering clouds mixed with mostly clear skies prevail thru the
afternoon under east-northeast winds below 10 kts. VFR conds
should continue for most of this TAF cycle, outside of the early
morning hrs where terminals (except ABY) may see brief periods of
MVFR cigs. Patchy mist is also possible at DHN, ECP, and VLD in
the 9-12Z timeframe. Little to no rain is expected.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [952 AM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

In the upper levels, nearly zonal flow or weak troughing will be
over the region today and tonight. At the surface, high pressure is
over the East Coast and Southeast. With easterly low level flow
continuing, moisture will rebound today. There is even a slight
chance for a shower this afternoon in the easternmost Florida Big
Bend Counties. Otherwise, dry weather will continue today and
tonight. Highs today will be in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Lows
tonight will be in the 60s.

.SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday]...

East flow and a slow warming trend will continue into the short
term with high temperatures in the mid 80s both Monday and
Tuesday. Low temperatures will also continue to creep up as
moisture continues to return over the area, with low temperatures
Monday night in the mid to upper 60s. Although upper level ridging
remains, there will be a slight chance for a shower or
thunderstorm across the far eastern Big Bend during the
afternoons.

.LONG TERM [Tuesday Night Through Sunday]...

East flow and warm temperatures continue into the long term. Upper
ridging weakens a bit around midweek with several waves of deeper
moisture moving across the area from the east. This will bring a
return to some afternoon showers and thunderstorms for the long
term period. Ridging breaks down even more late week into the
weekend, with a cold front potentially approaching the region towards
the end of the period. Increased cloud cover and precipitation
could knock high temperatures down a peg into the low 80s, while
low temperatures are forecast to remain in the mid 60s to near
70.

.MARINE...

Periods of cautionary level winds will continue through most of
the week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will return to the
forecast around midweek and last into the weekend.

.FIRE WEATHER...

There are no fire weather concerns for today. There may be some
areas with high dispersions over 75 tomorrow afternoon.

.HYDROLOGY...

Very little rainfall accumulation is expected over the next week
with area rivers all in good shape. No hydrology concerns are
expected.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always
encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they
occur (while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines) by
calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.
