NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 13, 6:25 PM CST, 7 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 825 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... An area of thunderstorms continues to move west across the FL panhandle and SE Alabama. Expect these storms to clear the area over the next several hours with light rain behind the thunderstorms. Model guidance shows convection initiating offshore around 08Z overnight, with the highest chances to the west. Lows tonight will be in the mid 70s. && .PREV DISCUSSION [725 PM EDT]... .SHORT TERM [Friday Through Saturday Night]... The western extent of the Bermuda Ridge will build across our forecast area Friday, extending from the surface to the upper levels. Mid-layer drying/subsidence associated with this feature will limit the coverage of deep moist convection across our region, with the greatest chance of rain across the FL Panhandle (30-40% PoP) where there will still be adequate moisture. Elsewhere PoPs will be 20% or less. An upper trough will begin to develop across much of the eastern CONUS Saturday and Saturday night, and a weakening surface cold front will stall across north-central GA and AL. While we don't expect any synoptic scale forcing from the trough, the prevailing wind field we be altered in such a way as to increase deep-layer moisture somewhat across our region, and shift the sea breeze circulation so that the rain chances will be near average (30-40%) and fairly evenly distributed across the area. It will be warm this weekend, with high temperatures in the mid 90s and lows in the mid 70s. .LONG TERM [Sunday Through Thursday]... A mean deep-layer trough will be the main synoptic feature across much of the Southeast, with moist southwest winds expected across our forecast area. This is typically a favorable environment for the development of scattered to numerous daytime thunderstorms as the sea breeze fronts form and move inland. PoPs will be in the 30-50% range (highest south) each afternoon, with slight rain chances overnight. Temperatures will be near average with lows in the 70s and highs in the lower to mid 90s. .AVIATION [Through 00Z Saturday]... An area of showers and thunderstorms continues to push west this evening. VCTS will be possible at DHN, ECP, ABY and TLH for the next several hours. MVFR conditions are expected around sunrise at VLD, otherwise VFR will prevail. .MARINE... With a high pressure ridge near and north of the marine area, the prevailing winds through Saturday will be east to southeast less than 15 knots, with seas 3 feet or less. As the ridge becomes centered over the coastal waters Sunday and Monday, winds will become south to southwest 5 to 10 knots, with sea 2 feet or less. .FIRE WEATHER... There are no fire weather concerns for the next several days. .HYDROLOGY... A typical summertime pattern is expected, with locally heavy rains possible, but organized heavy rain that would lead to river flooding or flash flooding is unlikely. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
