New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY

NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Onshore flow continues today and tonight as the Bermuda high remains parked off to the east. Mid to upper level riding is expected to weaken a bit and shift further south with the ridge axis closer to the FL Peninsula. This along with increasing moisture across the area will allow for a bit more coverage of scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Forecast soundings show DCAPE near 800-900 J/kg this afternoon, so a few of the storms could be strong to severe with gusty winds the primary hazard. High temperatures today are forecast a tiny bit cooler than yesterday due to the increase in cloud cover and the shifting of the ridge axis to the south. Highs are still forecast in the upper 80s to low 90s with lows overnight in the mid to upper 60s.

SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are possible Saturday afternoon as an H5 shortwave moves through the Southeast. A few showers and storms are possible along the sea breeze as it pushes inland. However, the best opportunity for rain will be closer to the shortwave in southwestern Georgia. Additional showers and storms are possible Sunday as the shortwave lifts out of the region.
Highs will climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s around the region both days with lows in the middle to upper 60s Saturday night.

LONG TERM
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Showers and thunderstorms remain possible Monday afternoon, mainly along the I-75 corridor, before ridging aloft takes over the rest of the work week. Surface high pressure situated between Bermuda and the Bahamas coupled with H85 temperatures climbing to between 18 to 20C will support highs in the lower to middle 90s by the middle of next week. An increase in low-level moisture will also push overnight lows from the middle 60s Monday and Tuesday night to the upper 60s to lower 70s, even away from the coast, by Wednesday night. While records are not explicitly forecast, one or two locations could flirt with their record highs Wednesday and/or Thursday of next week.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 105 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Fog and low stratus will be possible at most terminals this morning, but conditions should improve to VFR by mid to late morning. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon, but coverage is expected to be sparse and therefore confidence of impacts to any particular terminal are too low to include in the tafs for now. Another round of fog/low stratus will be possible late tonight.

MARINE
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

High pressure in the Atlantic will lead to tranquil boating conditions through the period. Light winds, generally out of the south-southeast, are expected with seas around 1 to 2 feet into the weekend. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Warm and moist conditions will continue today and over the weekend with rain chances increasing on Saturday. A few showers and storms will be possible this afternoon and evening, with more widespread showers and storms possible all day Saturday. Winds may fluctuate between southeast and southwest over the next several days. A seabreeze is likely to develop and move inland each afternoon. Very good to excellent dispersions are also likely each afternoon with very high mixing heights.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 351 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

The last of the Flood Warnings from the April 10/11th flood event will be cancelled sometime this morning as the Suwannee River at Manatee Springs drops below Minor Flood stage. Several sites along the Suwannee remain in Action Stage along with the Aucilla at Lamont and St Marks at Newport.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible the next couple of days and could lead to localized 0.25 to 0.75 inches of rain.
Outside of that, no flooding is anticipated at this time over the next several days.
