Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
203 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2020

.NEAR TERM [Through Wednesday]...

For the remainder of this afternoon into this evening, scattered
convection will continue across the area. The 12z KTAE sounding was
fairly typical for summer with a PWAT of 1.74 inches and fairly high
DCAPE, so a stronger storm or two with gusty winds remains possible
until around sunset. Diurnal convection will weaken after sunset
with overnight lows generally in the mid 70s.

For Wednesday, guidance shows precipitable water values increasing
to near 2 inches by the end of the day with weak vort maxima in the
area. This pattern will tend to support scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon hours. Rain
chances are expected to be mainly 40-60% across the area with
highs in the low to mid 90s.

.SHORT TERM [Wednesday Night Through Thursday Night]...

On Thursday, the models begin to carve out an upper level trough
across the southeast states with a vort max diving southward. The
12z GFS has precipitable water values climbing over 2 inches across
the area by the end of Thursday. Another day of fairly widespread
convective coverage is expected. Given this extra upper level
support, some convection could linger into the overnight hours and
start earlier in the morning hours than a typical summer day. High
temperatures are expected to be slightly cooler in the upper 80s to
lower 90s with more cloud cover and precip around. However, it will
be quite muggy with dewpoints in the mid 70s.

.LONG TERM [Friday Through Tuesday]...

An unsettled period appears likely with weak troughing and vort
maxima hanging around the area in a tropical environment with
precipitable water occasionally well over 2 inches. Heavy rain may
become an increasing concern through the weekend into early next
week given this pattern if a weak surface low develops along the
coast as some guidance suggests. This general pattern bears watching
for heavy rain potential with a deep tropical airmass in place with
some upper level support.

&&

.AVIATION...

[Through 18z Wednesday] Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
prevail across the region through the early evening hours, then
diminish after sunset. VFR conditions are expected outside of
convection.

&&

.MARINE...

Winds will be west to southwest 15 knots or less with seas mainly 3
feet or less through the remainder of the week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Red flag conditions are not expected for the next several days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

A wet pattern is forecast over the next several days. We'll need to
watch for the potential for heavy rainfall heading into this
weekend, especially given that above average convective coverage is
expected leading up to this weekend. Currently, there are no
significant concerns for flooding, but the pattern bears watching.

&&

.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.
