Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 704 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Through Sunday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Ridging aloft continues nudging in from the west through the near term with a moist unstable airmass remaining in place over the forecast area. Garden variety pop up storms are possible areawide tomorrow with PoP's generally maxing out in the 60-70% areawide. PWAT's ranging from 2.2-2.5" support efficient rainmakers, hinting that a localized nuisance / flash flooding threat is possible with these storms if they are slow moving and / or stall. Heat remains a concern as well tomorrow, though there are some caveats. Heat indices across our FL counties generally range from 108-112 with a few areas even reaching 113+, supportive of a heat advisory. However, given the large coverage of storms tomorrow during peak heating, rain cooled air with scattered anvil debris from these storms may hinder most of the areas from realizing these temperatures. Our SE AL and SW GA counties have heat indices > 108 as well, particularly in their counties bordering FL, though uncertainty remains the same. Regardless, temperatures are expected to once again be hot and muggy tomorrow afternoon. Make sure to wear light clothes tomorrow, drink plenty of water, and limit time outside if possible. Tonights low temperatures are expected to drop to the mid to upper 70s with afternoon highs tomorrow reaching the mid 90s. && .SHORT TERM... (Sunday night through Monday night) Issued at 330 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 The short term period looks a bit unsettled with mid to upper level ridging pushing over to the west and a weak front stalling out over the area. How far south the front makes it is unclear at this point, but it will likely create a local focus for shower and thunderstorm activity With the most coverage expected Monday afternoon and evening. A few strong storms will be possible along with isolated pockets of heavy rainfall. Highs are forecast in the low to mid 90s, however areas with the highest coverage of rain and clouds may end up a few degrees below that. Lows are forecast in the mid 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Ridging begins to build back overhead during the long term, gradually lowering our rain chances through mid week. A few showers and storms will still be possible, particularly along the seabreeze in the afternoon, but widespread convection is not expected once the ridge settles in. This will also allow temperatures to soar once again, reaching the mid to upper 90s again by the end of the week. Lows are forecast to remain fairly steady in the low to mid 70s. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 703 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Shower and thunderstorm activity today will begin to diminish after sunset with the remaining storms ending around 04Z-06Z. During the overnight hours, winds will become light to calm. It is possible for patchy fog to develop at our inland terminals but confidence is too low to include in the TAFs. Showers/thunderstorms may develop in the late morning into early afternoon; however showers and thunderstorms are more likely expected to return during the afternoon Sunday, hence VCTS at all terminals, with higher confidence around 20z for TSRA at most terminals. && .MARINE... Issued at 331 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Southwesterly flow around 10 knots and seas around 3 to 4 feet will prevail through most of the weekend until a weak frontal boundary pushes into the Gulf and winds become light and variable early next week. Wave heights of 3-4 feet will predominantly be attributed to the tropical disturbance in the southern Gulf of Mexico that is currently crossing the Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered showers and storms are expected through the weekend and early next week with activity generally greatest in the overnight and early morning hours as the diurnal land breeze circulation is at its peak. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 331 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Tomorrow, isolated storms are expected to occur across the area in the afternoon hours with gusty and erratic storms near and within them. This will continue over the next few days as a moist and unstable airmass remains over the forecast area. Transport winds over the next few days will be variable in direction ranging from around 5-10mph with increasing mixing heights each afternoon. Fair to generally good dispersions are expected areawide. At this time, there are no fire weather concerns at this time. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 243 AM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Widespread forecast rainfall totals through the next 5 days are generally expected to remain around 1-2 inches, with locally higher totals possible. This is primarily due to deep tropical moisture remaining in place over the region through the middle of next week. There are currently no flooding concerns at this time; however, localized flash flooding from training thunderstorms will be possible, especially in poor drainage and urban environments due to very efficient rain processes and high rainfall rates. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
