NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 1, 12:53 PM CST, 3 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 253 PM EDT Thu Sep 1 2022 .NEAR TERM [Through Friday]... The weak upper level trough that has been in place over the area the last day or two will finally push east of the region off the east coast of Florida. During this time on Friday, Surface high pressure will continue to settle in the Northeast, which will provide a dominant easterly to southeasterly flow across the region during the afternoon on Friday. At the surface, there will likely be some surface trough across the region tomorrow, that may be an initial focal point for shower and thunderstorm activity. This will especially be true in the morning hours; however, with the aforementioned easterly to southeasterly flow developing, a secondary wave of storms looks possible based off of current CAM guidance, which has Atlantic Seabreeze storms pushing into the area late Friday night. Current thoughts are that the proximity of the surface high is too far from the region to lead to strong enough easterly flow across the area; however, storms may push east off of outflow boundaries that may develop from any deep convection. This has happened several times throughout the summer in weak flow environments. Overall, the impacts will likely be the continued potential for localized flash flooding with widespread PWATs forecast to remain around 2 inches, and strong gusty winds with stronger thunderstorms. High temperatures tomorrow will struggle to reach 90 areawide, with much of the region remaining in the upper 80s. Lows tonight will generally fall into the low 70s as is typical this time of the year. .SHORT TERM & LONG TERM [Friday Night Through Thursday]... Although troughing is forecast over the Ohio River Valley to start out the short/long period, mid-level riding is expected to settle over Florida. Despite the ridging, deep layer moisture and a remnant boundary near or north of the region will allow for fairly scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop each afternoon. The primary hazards remain gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. Early next week, a trough is forecast to drop southward into the Southeast CONUS as the ridge weakens, dragging another weak frontal boundary into the area. High temperatures are generally forecast in the upper 80s to low 90s across the area through early next week before cooling just a bit in the wake of the weak front. Low temperatures are forecast in the low 70s. && .AVIATION... [Through 18Z Friday] VFR conditions are expected for all terminals for the remainder of the afternoon and evening outside of forecasted shower and thunderstorm activity that may cause brief periods of MVFR to LIFR restrictions to all terminals. Towards the morning hours, DHN, ABY, and VLD are expected to drop to IFR CIG restrictions before slowly lifting through the early morning hours. VFR conditions are forecast for all terminals from mid morning through the remainder of the TAF period. Another round of showers and thunderstorms looks to return tomorrow afternoon and evening that may impact all terminals. && .MARINE... Generally light winds near or below 10knots and seas under 2 to 3 feet are expected for the upcoming period. The main concern will be periods of showers and thunderstorms expected across the waters with gusty winds and locally higher seas possible. && .FIRE WEATHER... By Thursday, moisture is expected to overspread the western portion of the forecast area that has been dry the last couple of days, which will keep any fire weather concerns low for the whole region. There will be scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region on Thursday as deep tropical moisture overtakes the region. Dispersions will remain low for Thursday, but will predominantly remain above 20 areawide, therefore, it did not prompt a headline for tomorrow. && .HYDROLOGY... Rivers from the Ochlockonee basin eastward are running high, including the Saint Marks, Aucilla, and Withlacoochee. However, they are still within their banks. Additional heavy rainfall each afternoon through Saturday will continue to support high flows. If enough heavy rain occurs, these rivers could approach flood stage, but rivers are not expected to exceed flood stage in the next 7 days. The richly moist air mass will expand northwest today further into NW Florida and SE Alabama. Afternoon thunderstorms with torrential rainfall rates will support isolated flash flooding and local short-duration runoff issues. Areas along and southeast of a Perry-to-Valdosta line have had the heaviest rain in recent days, so they will be more vulnerable than usual to additional rounds of heavy thunderstorms. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they occur (while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines) by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
