Area Discussion for -

      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus62 ktae 220135 afdtae area forecast discussion national weather service tallahassee fl 935 pm edt Sat jul 21 2018 Update A cluster of strong to severe storms are currently marching south through our northern forecast area this evening. This cluster should remain active for at least the next couple hours with increased low level shear and slightly warmer temperatures facilitating the continued activity for at least the next few hours. A corresponding severe thunderstorm watch has been extended south to around the florida alabama and florida georgia border through 1 am edt. Grids have been updated to reflect current conditions. Prev discussion [745 pm edt] Near term [through tonight] Most of the area has cleared out from the severe thunderstorms this afternoon and severe weather is not anticipated across the majority of the region through the evening. The only possible exception could be in extreme northern portions of the forecast area and north of dothan albany. There is still enough instability in the atmosphere in these locations and a little bit better forcing aloft for a few thunderstorms to develop through the evening hours. Severe weather is not anticipated overnight but we could a few isolated thunderstorms develop overnight as depicted by the multiple hi-res models. Confidence is fairly low in this scenario and the output is questionable considering how far off they were on the development of the convection this afternoon. Short term [Sunday through Monday night] An anomalous upper low (by nearly 4 standard deviation), will remain in place across the southeastern conus, moving atop north florida on Monday. The greatest forcing for ascent, and surface based forcing (a frontal boundary), locally, will exist on Sunday. Associated with the upper low, abnormally strong deep layer shear will combine with summertime instability to yield a higher than normal threat for severe weather. The storm prediction center has kept our much of our region in a slight risk for Sunday afternoon. The main hazard will be widespread damaging winds, though the threat for an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. With the upper low meandering over the region on Monday, the potential for some showers and thunderstorms forced from aloft will be possible, though the severe threat should be low to none. See rainfall forecast information in the hydrology discussion below. Long term [Tuesday through Saturday] The anomalous upper low will gradually fill through mid-week, with a more typical summertime pattern returning by the end of the week into the weekend. Expect higher than normal pops through Thursday, with more typical rain chances to end the week. Highs will start around 90 degrees on Tuesday, gradually increasing into the lower 90s by the end of the week. Aviation [through 00z Monday] A strong MCS is moving in from the north and could produce gusty winds and localized ifr conditions at aby vld later this evening, but uncertainty is high as this moves southeast. Aside from that, patchy fog is possible overnight at our inland terminals , but confidence is low so did not mention in the tafs.VFR conditions will prevail but another round of thunderstorms will bring MVFR ifr conditions at times to area terminals on Sunday.

Marine Unseasonably strong wsw winds are forecast to begin overnight and last through tomorrow night associated with a frontal system. Additionally, severe thunderstorms will be possible starting again tomorrow afternoon. Winds should fall below headline levels by Monday, with seas a little slower to subside. Fire weather Red flag conditions will not occur over the next several days with moisture expected to remain high across the area. Hydrology Widespread average rain amounts of 1-3 inches will be possible across north florida and extreme south georgia over the next 48 hours. Most of this rain will occur on Sunday, with isolated higher amounts of 3-6" possible. The threat for flash flooding remains low due to the fact that storms will likely be progressive, though nuisance flooding in urban and rural areas will be possible. While there have been some rises along area rivers today (especially the most responsive ones), river levels remain below action stage. Should some of the same areas receive heavy rain tomorrow, action stage would be possible along some area rivers. Spotter information statement Spotter activation is requested. Spotters should safely report significant weather conditions and or damage by calling the office or tweeting us @nwstallahassee.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
