Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 256 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY... .NEAR TERM... (Through Wednesday) Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 An upper level low near the West Coast of Florida will drift north across the forecast area over the next couple of days. This will bring some mostly beneficial rainfall to the region with highest rain chances to the east of where the low tracks. The WPC has the entire area under a marginal risk (level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall on Wednesday, but we believe that the greatest threat for this will be over the eastern third to half of the forecast area. && .SHORT TERM... (Wednesday night through Thursday night) Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 The upper low and associated inverted trough causing this stretch of unsettled weather will begin to pull northeastward by Thursday. Lingering mid-level vorticity and a very moist air mass (PWATs approaching 2") will be sufficient for more deep convection to develop during the day on Thursday. High temperatures will again be limited by cloud cover and shower/thunderstorm activity, with temperatures struggling to climb above the mid-80s. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Monday) Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 By Friday, any remaining forcing from the aforementioned upper low will have fully exited the region. The air mass will still be plenty moist (PWATs ~1.7"), and with winds oriented south- southwestward, the Gulf sea breeze will become our primary focus, with daily shower and thunderstorm activity likely developing along the sea breeze front. Temperatures will return to more seasonal values, with high temperatures reaching the low-mid 90s and low temperatures dropping to the low-mid 70s through the end of the forecast period. By early next week, ensemble guidance from the GEFS and EPS are in good agreement that a mid-level trough will develop over the mid- west. The deterministic GFS and ECMWF depict several shortwave impulses sweeping around the base of the trough and near the northern portions of the CWA starting as early as Monday morning, bringing potentially the next chance for more widespread rains - although exact details are unclear at this point. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 121 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 VFR conditions will persist through much of the night as ceilings develop and gradually lower. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop on Wednesday morning and bring MVFR ceilings, possibly IFR at VLD. && .MARINE... Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 As an upper level low meanders to our south, easterly winds at about 15-20kts with gusts approaching 25kts along with scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected. Winds should gradually taper off to 5-10kts and shift to southerly by Thursday as the low begins to exit the region, and a general decrease in shower/thunderstorm activity will follow beginning Friday. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 Increasing moisture levels will likely bring wetting rains to much of the region Wednesday and Thursday. Dispersion indices will be be as high as recent days tomorrow, but will increase again on Thursday and Friday. Starting Friday, we will see a typical summertime pattern with diurnal showers and thunderstorms developing each afternoon and continuing into the early evening. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 249 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 A predominantly wet pattern is anticipated through the remainder of the week. Widespread 1.5-3in of rain is expected, although isolated higher amounts nearing 5-6in can't be ruled out. Conditions have been largely dry as of late, and thus widespread flooding concerns remain low. Current 1-hr flash flood guidance across our CWA is high at around 3-4 inches, so again, the preceding dry conditions are helping limit flooding concerns. For now, The Weather Prediction Center has outlined our entire CWA in a marginal (level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall on Wednesday. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
