Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
1032 PM EDT Mon Sep 23 2019
.UPDATE...
The overnight forecast is in good shape with no updates necessary
this evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION [231 PM EDT]...
.NEAR TERM [Through Today]...
Dry conditions will continue through the near term. A ridge
situated across the southeast will continue to keep winds light
and cloud cover limited into the night time hours. Morning lows
will fall into the lower to middle 60's across the CWA except near
the coast where lows will remain in the lower 70's.
.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Wednesday]...
The center of the upper level ridge will slide southeast tonight
into tomorrow. As this occurs, the flow will become zonal across the
CWA. Deep layer moisture will increase for Tuesday/Wednesday and
this will allow for low end PoPs (20%) across the far north on
Tuesday and the southern 2/3rds of the area on Wednesday. Heat is
the main story for the short term though with highs in the mid
90s. It's quite possible we will tie or break the record highs in
the short term. Lows will be in the lower to mid 70s.
.LONG TERM [Wednesday Night Through Monday]...
An upper-level ridge is expected to amplify over the eastern CONUS
and persist this weekend and into the start of the work week. At the
surface, high pressure should remain situated over the mid-Atlantic
states for next several days. Therefore, PoPs will generally be low
for the long term with only slight chance PoPs across the far
southeast Saturday and Sunday and slight chance to chance PoPs
across the coastal areas Monday. Overall though, hot and dry
conditions will cap off the end of an abnormally dry September. High
temperatures will be in the mid 90s and lows in the low 70s.
.AVIATION...
[Through 18Z Tuesday]
VFR conditions with light winds will persist throughout the TAF
period.
.MARINE...
Winds will be variable through the week, but are forecast to remain
below 15 knots through the week. Winds and seas will increase late
in the weekend into next week. Conditions are expected to be dry
through the week, with low end rain chances returning for Sunday
onward.
.FIRE WEATHER...
Hazardous fire weather conditions are not expected over the
next several days.
.HYDROLOGY...
Rain chances are limited over the next week with mostly dry
conditions forecast across the area. There are no flooding
concerns.
.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.
