National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
933 PM EDT Tue Jun 4 2019
.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...
Generally a quiet day across our forecast area as somewhat drier
air aloft limited thunderstorm development closer to the sea
breeze boundaries at the coast. Even as these boundaries from the
Gulf and Atlantic moved further inland, the forced ascent was not
enough to overcome the drier air present across Southwestern
Georgia and South Alabama.
The KTAE evening sounding did show quite a bit of instability
present and a higher PW than 12 hours ago, so assuming similar
conditions tomorrow expect to see a little better thunderstorm
coverage in the afternoon.
For the forecast overnight, isolated showers along I-75 should
diminish in the next hour or two. Thereafter, skies will be mostly
clear. Patchy fog is again possible, but shouldn't be
significantly widespread. Lows are expected to be in the low to
mid 70s.

.PREV DISCUSSION [722 PM EDT]...
.SHORT TERM [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]...
In the upper levels the ridge over the Southeast will begin to break
down on Thursday as a closed low moves into the Lower Mississippi
Valley. At the surface increasing low level moisture will bring
scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and Thursday.
The best chance for rain will be Thursday and Thursday night with
POPs up to 65 percent. Highs will be in the lower to mid 90s. Lows
will be in the lower 70s.
.LONG TERM [Friday Through Tuesday]...
In the upper levels a closed low will sit over the Lower Mississippi
Valley this weekend before slowly drifting eastward on Monday. At
the surface a low will sit over the Lower Mississippi Valley then
slowly drift into the Ohio River Valley. A cold front will move
through on Tuesday until then a wet pattern will be in place with
moist southerly flow. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected until the front passes especially in the afternoon/evening
hours. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Lows will be in the
lower 70s.
.AVIATION...
[Through 00Z Thursday]
VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the evening. With
light winds and clear skies another round of at least MVFR
restrictions after 09z are expected at ECP, TLH, and VLD. IFR
conditions are possible at TLH. After 13z, VFR conditions are
expected through the remainder of the period. Isolated
thunderstorms are expected Wednesday afternoon, but coverage
precludes mentioning in the TAFs at this time.
.MARINE...
A wet pattern is likely this weekend into early next week with
showers and thunderstorms likely. It is worth noting that more
waterspouts are sighted this time of year especially in the morning
hours. Outside of thunderstorms, southerly winds will be light to
moderate and seas will be low around 1 to 3 feet.
.FIRE WEATHER...
Dry conditions are expected to continue at least through Wednesday.
Rain chances will begin to increase on Thursday and into the
weekend as tropical moisture returns to the region. With
relative humidity values expected to slowly climb through the
remainder of the week, there are no red flag concerns.
.HYDROLOGY...
River levels are low due to the dry spell. Rain chances are
increasing late this week with scattered showers and thunderstorms
expected every afternoon/evening. Seven day forecast rainfall
totals are 1.25 to 3 inches.
.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.
