(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 ktae 230531 afdtae area forecast discussion national weather service tallahassee fl 131 am edt Thu may 23 2019 Aviation [through 06z Friday] winds generally less than 10 knots expected at the TAF sites with vfr conditions. Sct050 may go broken briefly this afternoon before diminishing with sunset. A few showers may pop up during the afternoon but are too isolated to include in the tafs. Prev discussion [938 pm edt] Near term [through tonight] Isolated to scattered showers (and possibly a rumble of thunder) are possible this afternoon mostly east of tallahassee and albany where better moisture combines with some limited seabreeze convergence. Expecting shower activity to decay around sunset with loss off daytime heating. Winds turn easterly overnight as remnants of the atlantic seabreeze move through the region. Besides some patchy fog in our east zones (near i-75), conditions will remain quiet overnight with low temperatures in the upper- 60s near-70. Short term [Thursday through Friday night] Heat will build through the period with a degree or two of warming each afternoon. The warming will be associated with steadily rising heights as the upper ridge builds. Any diurnal convection will be isolated at best. Long term [Saturday through Wednesday] Heat will continue to be the big story into next week as anomalously strong upper ridge remains overhead. High temps away from the coast will be at or above than 100 degrees Saturday through Monday. Afternoon heat index values will peak between 102 and 106 degrees. This is below our heat advisory criteria, but given how early in the season the heat is occurring, and that it's a holiday weekend with many outdoor activities, a heat advisory will likely be needed. This is especially true in areas affected by michael where the size of the heat-vulnerable population is larger than normal. There may be a slight cooldown late in the period as the upper ridge flattens a bit but temperatures will remain well above normal. Little to nothing in the way of rainfall |
is expected. Marine Weak onshore flow will persist through the forecast period with generally light winds and seas. No rain is forecast through the period. Fire weather Rising temperatures and next to no chances of rain over the course of at least the next week will be something to monitor closely with regards to fuels curing and rising fire potential. Hydrology Little to no rainfall is expected over the next seven days. Spotter information statement Spotter activation is not requested.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
