GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 234 Pm Edt Sun May 5 2024
Synopsis -
continued favorable boating conditions expected into late this coming week with persistent south to southeast winds 10 knots or less and 2 to 3 feet seas. Daily seabreezes usher an onshore wind along the immediate nearshore waters. By Friday, a frontal system pushes into the region, bringing returning chances for showers and Thunderstorms. Winds and seas respond ahead of this feature by approaching cautionary levels out of the southwest. Northerly breezes at 15 to 20 knots then arrive in the front's wake on Saturday.

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Main highlights:
1) Slightly increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow.
2) Hot weather expected through mid-week, especially Wednesday and Thursday, with very warm overnight temperatures.
3) Severe weather is possible on Friday from a passing front.
4) Weekend cooldown behind the front.
NEAR TERM
(Through Monday)
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Today's slight ridging shifts eastward tonight as another weak shortwave trough moves across the Southeast US Monday. Storms this afternoon will be few and far between, primarily along the sea breeze, given the drier air in place. Some patchy fog is possible late tonight and early Monday morning, primarily in the FL Panhandle and southeast AL. With the slight boost from the shortwave, a few more showers and storms will be possible on Monday, mostly across southern Georgia and the FL Big Bend with the highest chances near the I-75 corridor and Suwannee River. Given good instability, DCAPE around 600-900 J/kg and a little bit of shear in the presence of the shortwave, can't rule out some gusty winds and perhaps some small hail in the stronger storms. Lows tonight will be in the upper half of the 60s with highs tomorrow near 90 in most spots.
SHORT TERM
(Monday night through Tuesday night)
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Very warm weather defines the short-term period thanks to a building subtropical ridge from the SW Gulf. Large-scale subsidence should mostly suppress convection. When combined with mid-level height rises, temperatures should soar to around 90 away from the immediate coast. A persistent onshore flow keeps a muggy airmass in place, so expect unseasonable overnight/early morning warmth when low temperatures in the upper 60s/low 70s are forecast. These readings are anywhere from about 8-12 degrees above normal.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Mid-level heights continue rising as ridging further builds across the region. Models suggest 500-mb heights increasing from to the 586- 588 dm range Wednesday-Thursday, which is around the 75th percentile, per SPC sounding climo for KTLH. This patterns favors greater warmth than earlier in the week with inland forecast highs in the low 90s and heat indices a few degrees higher. There may be some cooling relief from showers/thunderstorms on Thursday mainly north of the FL state line from a northern stream upper trough pushing a front across the Appalachians.
Attention turns to severe weather potential on Friday as the front pushes through the Tri-State area. The environment should be moist, unstable, and sheared with favorable upper & lower-level support.
Although we are not under any SPC risk, there is a large 15% area over the East-Central US in the Day 4 Outlook. If trends continue, then at least a Marginal (level 1 of 5) could be introduced for tomorrow's Day 3. Details will be fine tuned as the event draws near. By Saturday, we are looking at improved weather as we go post frontal with a much welcomed cooldown in store for us.
High temperatures drop from the mid/upper 80s on Friday to upper 70s/low 80s on Saturday. Widespread 70s for overnight lows are on tap through Friday, then drop to the upper 50s/low 60s next weekend.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
A Cu field is developing across the area this afternoon with bases near 040. Isolated SHRA/TSRA is expected to develop this afternoon, but confidence in location relative to terminals is low. Thus, don't have mention of TSRA in this cycle, but will handle with amendments.
Some patchy fog and/or low stratus is possible near ECP and TLH, but confidence in this is low. Have MVFR vsbys forecast with SCT IFR/LIFR skies. VFR conditions resume after 13z at all sites.
MARINE
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Offshore buoys were reporting southerly winds around 8 kts with 1-2 ft seas and a dominant period of 6 seconds this afternoon.
From CWF Synopsis...Continued favorable boating conditions expected into late this coming week with persistent south to southeast winds 10 knots or less and 2 to 3 feet seas. Daily seabreezes usher an onshore wind along the immediate nearshore waters. By Friday, a frontal system pushes into the region, bringing returning chances for showers and thunderstorms.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Generally south to southwest transport winds of 10-15 mph are expected over the next several days across the area. Mixing heights will top out around 4,500-5,500 feet Monday afternoon, then around 5,500-7,000 feet Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
This will result in high dispersions in southeast Alabama Monday, then across the entire area Tuesday and Wednesday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also be possible Monday afternoon, primarily across southern Georgia and the eastern Florida Big Bend.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 327 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Minimal rainfall expected over the next few days outside of localized pockets from isolated showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow. The next chance for greater coverage of meaningful rain is Friday when a frontal system pushes through the region. The latest Day 5 QPF from WPC generally paints a half inch or less across the Tri-State area, but higher amounts in the 1-2 inch range are focused over Central MS/AL/GA. These values may slide southward in subsequent forecasts.
In terms of rivers, Aucilla - Lamont, St Marks Newport, and a few in the Suwannee basin remain in action stage, but continue to trend downward. There are no riverine flooding concerns at this time.
