Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 556 AM EDT Sat Aug 8 2020

AVIATION. [Through 12Z Sunday]

Low clouds have developed over VLD and have added a tempo for LIFR through 12Z. For the new set of TAFs, expect VFR through the period. Widely scattered showers and storms will develop late this morning through early this evening. Have retained PROB30 in the TAFs beginning this afternoon.

PREV DISCUSSION [248 AM EDT].

NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].

Mid level troughing will extend from the central Gulf coast northeastward into the Appalachians, sandwiched between two height centers. One was located over the southern Plains and the other in the western Atlantic. A stationary boundary remains positioned just to the west of our southeast Alabama counties with a plume of moisture riding on southwest flow off the Gulf into the southeast US. Expect a similar day today as compared to yesterday; morning convection developing in the Gulf waters and Florida Big Bend then developing along the coast and moving northeast. Another area could develop across SE Alabama and SW Georgia where decent moisture and daytime heating will combine with additional surface convergence with widely scattered storms. The HRRR does support this notion and have expanded the mention of chance PoPs throughout our CWA into the early evening hours. Where it doesn't rain, temperatures will be quite warm and humid with highs in the mid/upper 90s and heat indices in the mid 100s.

SHORT TERM [Sunday Through Monday].

Upper level ridging will continue to extend westward from the western Atlantic and across the GOMEX. Meanwhile, a persistent weak mid/upper trough will extend south from the Tennessee Valley into or just north our forecast area Sunday becoming a bit more pronounced on Monday. At the surface, the axis of the western extension of the Bermuda ridge will remain to our south keeping a moist west to southwest low level flow across the region. Deep layer moisture will increase on Monday providing a better chance for diurnal convection. PoPs will be highest (50-60%) over the far eastern zones with 30% elsewhere on Sunday and increasing to 50-60% across the Tri-state area on Monday. Highs will be in the lower to mid 90s with heat indices 100-107 both days. Lows Sunday night will be in the middle 70s.

LONG TERM [Monday Night Through Friday].

Not much change in the overall pattern. Deep layer moisture will remain over the area with PWs forecast to stay near 2.0 inches. Chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms will continue to be around 50-60% which is above seasonal levels for mid-August. High temperatures will generally be in the lower 90s with lows in the lower to mid 70s.

MARINE.

Light winds and low seas will make for favorable boating conditions at least through the middle of next week outside of thunderstorms.

FIRE WEATHER.

Hazardous fire weather conditions are not expected over the next several days.

HYDROLOGY.

Typical summertime convection is expected to bring periods of showers and thunderstorms across our area, but QPF yields 7-day totals of generally 1 to 2 inches or less. Isolated higher amounts are always possible with stronger or slow-moving storms. There are currently no flood concerns, and all local rivers and creeks are in good shape.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT.

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they occur (while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines) 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.
