Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 351 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY... .NEAR TERM... (Through Monday) Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 The cumulus field has taken over the CWA this afternoon with convection starting to fire just east of the I-75 corridor. The best chances for precip appear to span from Ben Hill Co GA to Bay Co FL, along and east of the line. Severe weather isn't anticipated; however, gusty winds and perhaps some localized areas of heavy rain may be possible. Precip chances will start to wane around sunset, with drier conditions forecast overnight. Some localized patchy fog could be possible along the I-75 corridor tonight if rain is realized and winds ease. If not, we could see a stratus edge its way in. Tomorrow, chances for precip increase as a moisture slug from the Atlantic arrives, especially for our FL counties and GA counties along the FL border. Lows for tonight will be in the mid 60s, highs for tomorrow span the 80s. && .SHORT TERM... (Monday night through Tuesday night) Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 A brief period of drier weather is forecast as gradually transition back towards summer like weather. Much of the region is forecast be dry with SE AL and the FL Panhandle having the best chances at this time. Highs for Tuesday will be in the low 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 Summer returns, with moisture returning for the mid and latter portion of the work week. Expect afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and high temperatures upper 80s to low 90s. Overnight lows will be on the toastier side as well, and in the upper 60s to low 70s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 152 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 VCTS has been observed at KTLH, KVLD, and KECP with KABY and KDHN likely staying dry and VFR throughout the TAF period. Isolated convection at the aforementioned sites may briefly enter TSRA conditions with VFR expected to resume around 00-02Z. Gusty conditions are possible across all sites this afternoon with thunderstorm gusts at KTLH, KECP, KVLD, and gradient driven wind gusts at KDHN expected to die down by around 00Z. MVFR CIG's may be possible at KVLD around 09-12Z, although uncertainty remains high regarding this outcome and will be ironed out in future updates. && .MARINE... Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 Showers and thunderstorms are expected into the early evening hours and will be capable of producing gusty and erratic winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning. Storms will generally move from land to offshore during the day. Outside of storms, gentle to moderate northeast breezes are forecast into tonight with high pressure building north of the area. Winds and seas are expected to decrease again for the early to middle part of the week. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 The main fire weather concerns continue to be high dispersions over the next few days. Tomorrow looks to be the best chance for showers and thunderstorms which is when a slug of moisture tries to nose its way into the region. This will be short lived as precip chances then decrease Monday and Tuesday. By midweek moisture should return to the region, with seabreeze convection becoming more likely. High temperatures during this timeframe will gradually increase with highs spanning the 80s Sunday and upper 80s to low 90s by Tuesday. MinRH will vary each day, from the mid 30s to about 50 inland, and between 40 to 60% closer to the coast. Overnight recover is expected to be good each and generally range from 80 to 90%. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 317 PM EDT Sun Jun 4 2023 No significant flooding is expected for the next several days. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested.
