AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 226 PM EDT Fri Jun 20 2014 .Near Term [Through Tonight]... With little in the way of synoptic scale systems to discuss locally other than the typical summertime ridging, isolated to scattered areas of seasonal summertime convection will diminish rapidly this evening. Mostly clear to partly cloudy skies are expected overnight with seasonably muggy low temperatures. .Short Term [Tonight Through Sunday]... Upper ridge will continue to influence the weather across the region through Saturday, before weakening on Sunday. Other than a weak surface trough across south-central Georgia on Saturday, there will be little in the way of synoptic forcing, with the seabreeze being the primary driver of convection. Forecast PoPs will be slightly below the seabreeze climo PoPs given the influence of the upper ridge. With the slightly below climo coverage of rain for Saturday, temperatures will continue to be hot, with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Should see an increase in coverage on Sunday as a weak upper trough approaches from the west. This will help to spark convection along the seabreeze as well as the lingering surface trough, so have increased PoPs over Saturday's values. With the increase coverage, temperatures should be a bit lower as well, with highs in the lower to mid 90s. .Long Term [Sunday Night Through Friday]... Lingering surface trough coupled with weak troughiness aloft will keep climo or above rain chances in the forecast through early next week. This will also push temperatures back down into the lower 90s (near normal for late June). Guidance diverges by mid to late week with the GFS bringing moisture northward from the deep tropics. Recent performance of GFS in the tropics makes this a bit dubious, especially without support from the ECMWF, so will show a bit of a decrease in PoPs towards the end of the week, supported by the ECMWF idea of an increase in upper ridging. && .Aviation... [Through 18Z Saturday] Isolated to scattered areas of convection are expected through this evening with convection rapidly diminishing after sunset. Winds will be light outside of convection. VFR conditions are expected to prevail outside of convection. && .Marine... Westerly to southwesterly winds are forecast to continue over the coastal waters into next week as the subtropical ridge axis remains south of the waters. Winds may occasionally approach exercise caution levels over the weekend as a surface trough drops south towards the Gulf Coast. However, conditions are expected to remain below headline criteria. && .Fire Weather... Relative humidity values are expected to remain above critical levels for the next several days with gradually increasing rain chances for the latter half of the weekend and continuing into the next work week. && .Hydrology... Rainfall totals for the next week will be around 1- 2 inches across the area. With all rivers below bank full stage, this rainfall is not expected to cause significant rises on area rivers. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
