GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 239 Am Edt Wed Jun 5 2024
Synopsis -
generally favorable boating conditions with southerly to southwesterly winds at around 5-10 knots are expected through the end of the work week. Predominantly westerly winds look to take over early Friday morning before becoming northerly Saturday as surface high pressure is forecast to settle into central tennessee. While winds and seas will generally be favorable for boating, there will be the chance for daily showers and Thunderstorms, particularly during the overnight hours and on Thursday as a mid-level shortwave trough pushes through the region. Thunderstorms can produce brief periods of increased winds and surf, and should be avoided by small craft.

NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
Shower and thunderstorm activity this afternoon should focus over the inland FL Big Bend and Southwest GA mainly east of the Flint River. The main concerns are gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall, given decent DCAPE and high PWATs. Highs above normal in the mid-90s. This evening into tonight, a cluster or two of showers and thunderstorms are expected to approach Southeast AL and Western FL Panhandle. While this activity should weaken on approach, some strong storms cannot be ruled out given decent instability and shear, with the main concern being gusty winds. Lows tonight in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
A mid-level shortwave trough and cold front look to push through the region on Thursday, which will provide sufficient forcing for ascent for scattered to widespread thunderstorms across the region. Convection looks to push through the region from the northwest to southeast as the shortwave trough digs southeast off the coast of Florida. Shear values look high enough to support multicellular convective structures, which may lead to slightly stronger thunderstorms on Thursday. Along with shear, the environment ahead of the cold front will be sufficiently moist, with PWATs ranging from 1.5-1.8 inches. DCAPE values similarly will be high at around 700-900 J/Kg, which will help support strong downbursts. The cold front should push through by late Thursday night, which will generally lead to a dry Friday as surface high pressure looks to settle into the southeast for the weekend. Highs Thursday will generally be in the low 90s; however, by Friday, highs will climb into the mid 90s as upper level ridging builds over the region.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
As mentioned above, in the wake of the cold front, upper level ridging looks to nose into the region from the west. This will actually lead to warmer temperatures through the weekend even with the passage a cold front on Thursday. This front will primarily advect drier air into the region lowering the dewpoints from the low 70s into the upper 50s to low 60s areawide. So while it will be hot in the mid to upper 90s through the weekend, the dewpoints will be low enough through the afternoon hours that heat index values will remain below any advisory criteria.
The upper level ridge looks to maintain control over the region through the weekend as chances for showers and thunderstorms remain low at around 10-20 percent. Appreciable rain chances don't look to return to the region until Monday as a trough looks to dig equatorward across the eastern conus. Along with increasing rain chances with a likely cold front dipping south, temperatures do look to cool off into the low 90s by Tuesday as 500mb heights fall slightly across the region.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
VFR conditions are expected at all TAF sites through the period.
Low potential for aftn/evening TSRA at TLH and VLD, which could lead to brief MVFR. Southerly winds around 5-10 knots.
MARINE
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
Generally favorable boating conditions with southerly to southwesterly winds at around 5-10 knots are expected through the end of the work week. Predominantly westerly winds look to take over early Friday morning before becoming northerly Saturday as surface high pressure is forecast to settle into central Tennessee. While winds and seas will generally be favorable for boating, there will be the chance for daily showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the overnight hours and on Thursday as a mid-level shortwave trough pushes through the region. Thunderstorms can produce brief periods of increased winds and surf, and should be avoided by small craft.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
Isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms today in the FL Big Bend and Southwest GA will lead to brief bursts of erratic and gusty winds in their vicinity. Southwest transport winds and seasonably high mixing heights will lead to pockets of high dispersion this afternoon over portions of Southeast AL and Southwest GA. The approach of a front on Thursday will lead to widespread precipitation, with the potential for high dispersion near the I-75 corridor of GA and the Eastern FL Big Bend. A much drier air mass for early June filters in on Friday with afternoon RH down into the 30s.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024
There are no significant hydrological concerns over the next week.
Widespread forecast rainfall totals are expected to be around 1-1.5 inches. The only concern is the chance for localized heavy rainfall and flash flooding due to thunderstorms that may become quasi-stationary or train over the same locations. The most vulnerable locations would be urban, low-lying, and slow-drainage areas.
