NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
The main highlights for the near-term period are fog/low stratus, unseasonably warm temperatures, and afternoon thunderstorm potential. Subsidence induced by nearby surface high pressure atop a moistened boundary layer supports fog/low stratus this morning and early tomorrow. Upper-level ridging favors another day with inland highs in the mid-to-upper 80s. The seabreeze should keep the coastal strip a few degrees cooler. Overnight lows are forecast to be in the low 60s. Patchy fog appears possible late tonight into early Thursday morning.
A lobe of vorticity aloft traversing the Deep South will be the main forcing mechanism for isolated to scattered convection later today.
The best convective potential is across the northern part of the Tri- State area, especially around the I-75 corridor. This activity should gradually diminish after sunset with the loss of daytime heating. Environmental conditions are expected to be favorable for localized strong-damaging gusts and/or small-to-medium hail. Modeled point soundings for Valdosta show sufficient instability, 20-25-kts of bulk shear, DCAPE near 1000 J/kg, and steep low-mid-level lapse rates. A Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather in SW GA is maintained by the SPC in the now Day 1 Outlook.

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Warm conditions are expected to continue throughout the next week with onshore flow prevailing across the area. A few showers and storms may be possible across the northern portions of the area Thursday afternoon and evening, but overall coverage is expected to be isolated to scattered. Highs this week are generally in the mid 80s to low 90s with max heat indices pretty close to the ambient temperatures. A weak front is forecast to sag southward into the area from the north/northeast late in the weekend, which may create a slight uptick in convection and knock a couple of degrees off forecast highs. However, this change will probably be negligible for most.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 144 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
The main updates to this TAF were to remove flt restrictions for terminals sans ECP, and introduce PROB30 groups for non-FL sites this aftn for -TSRA. The latest model trends show fog/low stratus mainly focusing over the FL Panhandle this morning. Isolated to scattered convection aims to develop across the northern portion of the region and may cluster invof DHN/ABY/VLD. Highest confidence attm is around the I-75 corridor. Otherwise, lgt/vrb winds prevail thru the period.
MARINE
Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Light winds are generally expected to follow the diurnal seabreeze/landbreeze cycle with seas near 1 to 2 feet. Some fog will be possible close to the coast in the mornings.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Morning fog and afternoon thunderstorms are the primary fire concerns the next couple days. The best convective potential today is over SW GA, particularly around the I-75 corridor this afternoon with gradual diminishing after sunset. Wetting rains are not expected outside of possible localized pockets. Convection will be capable of strong/gusty/erratic winds and lightning. Thunderstorms remain in the forecast on Thursday, mainly north of the FL state line. Rain chances become fleeting Friday through this weekend.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
No flooding is expected this week.
