Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
112 PM EDT Sat Jun 1 2019
.AVIATION...
[Through 18z Sunday] Mainly VFR conditions are expected to prevail
today. Scattered thunderstorms are possible in the vicinity of ECP
and TLH for the remainder of the afternoon. In addition, some
brief low ceilings and/or patchy fog could occur near TLH late
tonight.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION [1031 AM EDT]...
.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...
A surface trough was slowly sagging southward through southern AL
and GA this morning. This trough is forecast to lay out west to east
across the central Gulf coast through the Florida Panhandle and
stall this afternoon. This feature in conjunction with sea breeze
interaction will provide the focus for afternoon convection to
develop. The 00z HRRR shows convection along and south of the
boundary translating eastward mainly across our Florida zones
this afternoon where PoPs have been raised to 30%. Highs will be
in the mid 90s most inland areas and around 90 along the coast.
.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday]...
The Tri-State region will be sandwiched between a trough over the
Great Lakes/Northeast and a ridge from the GOMEX through the
Central Plains. Heights will gradually increase through early next
week as the upper trough departs slowly to the northeast. The
result will be that highs will climb back in the middle to upper
90s, with heat indices hovering pretty close to the actual temps
due to the relatively dry airmass (except maybe along the
immediate coast). Rain chances are pretty much nil through early
next week, though there'll be an isolated chance for a storm or
two along the seabreeze that will remain pinned to the north
Florida coastline.
.LONG TERM [Monday Night Through Saturday]...
Deep layer ridging will build back in through the end of the week,
though low-level flow will veer and moisture will become more
prevalent by mid-week. This should allow for afternoon seabreeze
storms to develop along the coast and move inland Wed-Fri. By next
weekend, a frontal system *may* increase rain chances locally as
it skirts the Southeast. High temperatures are forecast to remain
near normal as next week's ridge is a bit more seasonable.
However, it won't feel like much of a relief as the increase in
moisture will result in steady heat indices from now through the
end of next week.
.MARINE...
Light winds and low seas will prevail through at least mid-week.
The main exception will be an slight increase in winds and chop in
the seabreeze zone each afternoon.
.FIRE WEATHER...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop this
afternoon, mainly over the Florida zones ahead of a surface trough.
Behind the trough, minimum RH values will range from 25 to 30
percent across SE AL and SW GA and up to the mid 40 percent range
ahead of the trough over the FL panhandle and Big Bend.
.HYDROLOGY...
Meaningful rainfall is not forecast over the next week or so, thus
there are no concerns for flooding.
.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.
