(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 ktae 221847 afdtae area forecast discussion national weather service tallahassee fl 247 pm edt Thu aug 22 2019 Near term [through today] Most of the convective activity to develop this afternoon is expected to end by sunset followed quiet and calm conditions overnight. Weak southerly flow around 5kts and scattered skies will prevail through the period. By day break tomorrow, areas located along the al-fl border could see localized low ceilings and visibility restrictions. 18z ecam guidance is suggesting 50-60% chance of 3k ft or less ceilings and ~50% chance of three miles or less visibilities in those areas. Since ecam guidance is only suggesting a very localized area of visibility restrictions and does not agree well with other guidance (i.E., sref) , uncertainty at this time is quite high and fog has not been included in this forecast update. Short term [tonight through Saturday] Zonal flow aloft and ridging at the surface will prevail through the start of the weekend. Afternoon storms will driven by the seabreeze and associated mesoscale boundaries. On Friday, we may see a lower coverage of storms from the big bend eastward where drier air aloft will be present. Pops should return to normal by Saturday. Highs are expected to reach the lower to middle 90s with heat indices in the low 100s. Long term [Saturday night through Thursday] Through the extended period, the northern stream longwave trough will amplify over the eastern CONUS as shortwaves move through the northeast and the plains ms valley. A resultant wedge of high pressure will force a front down the eastern seaboard as another front approaches the southeast from the west. Eventually the frontal boundaries will merge and become stationary across the gulf coast resulting in above normal rain chances through the whole period. Highs and lows will be right around seasonal normals. Aviation [through 18z Friday] high pressure across the tri-state region will cap most shower and thunderstorm activity today with only isolated coverage expected along the sea breeze. By sunrise, new model guidance is suggesting 3k ft ceilings and localized visibility restrictions across terminals in SE al and fl panhandle. Although low ceilings were not included in this set of tafs, they could be included in the following update as uncertainty decreases. Marine Light winds and low seas will prevail into next week, with an |
uptick in rain chances starting late in the weekend. Fire weather A wet pattern will return this weekend and linger through next week. Patchy fog is possible in the early morning hours. Otherwise no fire weather concerns. Hydrology A typical scattering of summertime storms is expected through Saturday. Thereafter, we'll transition to a wet period as a front stalls across the southeast. Due to the ongoing drought across much of the region, widespread flooding is not anticipated at this time. The steinhatchee, fenholloway, and econfina remain in flood from heavy rain this past weekend. All impacted rivers have crested and water-levels have begun to fall. Hopefully, the bulk of the rain next week will fall east and west of this region otherwise a return to flood may be possible. Spotter information statement Spotter activation is not requested.

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. |
