Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 2:03 PM EDT, 3 hours 48 minutes before
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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
