Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
100 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

- A HIGH RISK of rip currents at area beaches through Thursday.
  Beachgoers are encouraged to swim at guarded beaches and
  discouraged to enter the surf if red or double red flags are
  flying.

- Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected each day through
  the next week. Gusty winds of 40-60 mph, torrential downpours,
  and frequent lightning will be the primary threats from storms.
  Some localized flash flooding is also possible each day under
  slow-moving thunderstorms.

&&

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(This Evening through next Sunday)
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

A very moist air mass remains in place over the next several days
with shortwave disturbances traversing a persistent trough aloft.
Chances for precipitation will be dependent on the timing of the
energy aloft in conjunction w/ diurnal heating and the seabreeze.
The main concern will be heavy rainfall that may cause localized
flash flooding, which is detailed in the Hydrology section at the
bottom. Strong diurnal thunderstorms are possible each day, which
will be dependent on the magnitude of the wind field aloft and
presence of dry mid-level air, while suface-based instability may
be lagging due to the very moist air mass. Gusty winds would be
the main concern, in addition to frequent lightning. The other
concern over the next several days is a High Risk of Rip Currents
at the Gulf Beaches. Beachgoers are encouraged to swim at guarded
beaches and discouraged to enter the surf where red or double red
flags are flying.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

TSRA will get an early start near ECP this morning before
shifting north through the day. TLH will be right on the edge of
the best rain chances as TSRA will likely develop north of the
terminal, so only have PROB30s there with TSRA likely prevailing
during the afternoon at ABY/DHN where chances are highest. VFR
conditions should return outside areas of IFR/MVFR in any
thunderstorm activity.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

Elevated winds of around 15 to just under 20 knots will lead to
seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet, with highest seas further offshore
through Tuesday night. Thereafter, winds and seas come down a
bit. The main concern will be daily showers and thunderstorms,
especially during the overnight and morning hours, with locally
higher winds and seas as well as brief waterspouts possible.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

A very wet pattern remains in place over the next several days.
Dispersion may be slow to rise each day, but should become fair
by the afternoon. The seabreeze will shift initially Southeast
winds more onshore each day, while daily thunderstorms may lead
to briefly erratic and gusty winds.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1249 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026

Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected each day over the
next several days. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are
likely across the area through the next 7 days and reasonable high-
end totals of 6 to 8 inches remain possible through next weekend.
In addition to poor drainage flooding, localized flash flooding is
possible with slow moving thunderstorms producing excessive rain
rates. While some rivers may rise into action stage, widespread
river flooding is not expected.
