Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
128 PM EDT Mon Jul 12 2021
.AVIATION...
[Through 18z Tuesday] Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms will affect the area through this evening with
activity diminishing after sunset. Gusty winds are likely near
storms. Some IFR ceilings are possible late tonight around DHN.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION [1037 AM EDT]...
.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...
A quasi-stationary upper level trough centered across the central
Mississippi valley is expected to remain in place as a large omega
block upstream across the western conus, and a Bermuda upper level
ridge work together to keep the large scale flow pattern
predominantly in place over the next day or so. At the surface, a
Bermuda high pressure centered over the Atlantic is imposing a
predominantly southerly to southeasterly flow across the region.
Continued moisture advection into the region is leading to rich deep
moisture with PW values between 1.7-1.9 inches for today, which will
support scattered coverage of afternoon storms. The deep moisture
in conjunction with the mid level convergence occurring over our
region from the aforementioned trough and ridge will allow for
widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms throughout the
entire day today. High temperatures will generally remain in the
upper 80s, with portions of SW Georgia reaching the low 90s. Lows
overnight are expected to drop into the low 70s.
.SHORT TERM [Tuesday Through Wednesday]...
Surface ridging over the Atlantic will slide west through the short
term with the region generally in southeasterly flow. Showers and
thunderstorms will continue each day in the short term, although
activity may last a little later with convection pushing in from the
east. In addition, an increase in PW values (2+) inches will help to
allow for higher PoPs on Wednesday. Expect highs around 90 and lows
in the 70s.
.LONG TERM [Wednesday Night Through Monday]...
With a weak disturbance still over the eastern Gulf, high PoPs will
persist into Thursday with the better chances across the western
portion of the CWA where PW values remain 2+ inches. After this, the
chance for showers and thunderstorms is expected to decrease over
the weekend with slighter "drier" weather (in terms of the PoPs)
than we have observed recently. Highs around 90 late in the week
will increase to the lower 90s for the weekend. Lows will remain
in the low to mid 70s.
.MARINE...
An active pattern will persist over the next few days with even
higher chances on Wednesday as a result of a disturbance moving
across the region. Southeast to east winds will persist through
the week with wave heights of 1 to 2 feet and up to 3 feet
offshore.
.FIRE WEATHER...
Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected once again today.
Minimum RH values are expected to be in the 50-60 percent range
today and tomorrow. Dispersions are expected to be low today for
all Florida zones. Despite low dispersions, there are currently no
fire weather concerns at this time.
.HYDROLOGY...
The Fenholloway River at Foley and Steinhatchee both continue in
minor flood stage this morning but are on a downward trend. The
Suwannee River at Rock Bluff and Manatee Springs continue to rise
and may reach minor flood stage late this week. Otherwise, a few
additional rivers remain in action stage. While we are in a more
active pattern, widespread rainfall amounts will be around 0.5-1.0
inch. These widespread values are not anticipated to cause
additional concerns, however, isolated higher values are expected
though and these higher amounts may lead to localized minor
flooding, particularly with higher rain rates and training.
.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.
