Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 350 PM EDT SUN JUN 12 2016 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... We are seeing a late start to the convection today. However, we are seeing more coverage now upstream over MS and AL closer to the approaching upper level disturbance. These will continue to approach the area in the northwesterly flow as others develop closer in. We kept PoPs as they were for the later afternoon. Slight chance PoPs continue after 00Z, but everything should be winding down by 02-03Z. Overnight lows will be in the muggy mid 70s. .SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday Night]... In the upper levels a ridge will be over the Southeast U.S. on Monday. Monday night a weak trough will develop near LA/MS. This trough will slowly drift eastward on Tuesday. At the surface a weak cold front will remain north of the region, so the warm moist air mass will remain and cooler drier air will remain to the north. Sea breeze showers and thunderstorms are likely Monday afternoon with POPs ranging from 20 to 40 percent with the best chances near the coast. On Tuesday as the trough approaches rain chances increase starting in the morning hours with POPs around 30 to 40 pecent. In the afternoon POPs increase to around 50 percent inland. Monday will be hot with highs in the mid to upper 90s. The heat index will be 100 to 103 in most locations. Tuesday will be a bit cooler due to increasing cloudiness and rain with highs in the low to mid 90s. The heat index will be 98 to 102. .LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Sunday]... In the upper levels a weak trough will be over the region for most of the forecast period. By Saturday the trough deepens somewhat as a strong low develops off the Mid-Atlantic Coast. With southerly flow rain and thunderstorms are likely mid to late week. POPs around 50 to 60 percent are expected on Wednesday and Thursday. Overnight on Wednesday and Thursday POPs will remain above average around 30 to 40 percent. Friday and Saturday POPs will be around 40 to 60 percent. POPs will be around 30 to 40 percent on Friday night. Rain chances will decrease on Saturday night as a cold front slowly moves through. Temps will be cooler due to increased cloudiness and rain with highs around 90 on most days. Lows will be in the mid 70s until the cold front moves through. && .AVIATION [Through 18Z Monday]... VFR conditions will prevail outside of scattered afternoon thunderstorms. A brief period of MVFR visibility will be possible once again late tonight at VLD. && .MARINE...
