NEAR TERM
(Through Friday)
Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Rain chances for this afternoon (30-60%) remain concentrated along the northern portions of our CWA, particularly SW GA, as a decaying frontal boundary to our north and diurnal heating may provide the initiation necessary for isolated to scattered thunderstorms.
Current modeled soundings in ABY indicate elevated DCAPE (800-1000 J/kg) and moderate instability, meaning that if more intense storms form, they could produce gusty winds and/or hail.
Moving into tonight, overnight lows over are expected to slide into the low-to-mid 60s. Additionally, there is a potential for areas of fog to develop overnight, with fog forming along the Florida panhandle and expanding into SE AL before dissipating by mid-morning Friday. Throughout Friday, daytime highs will rise into the upper 80s in inland locations, with sea breezes keeping coastal locations relatively cooler.

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Ridging moves overhead Saturday, which will keep our weather mostly dry across the area. An isolated shower or storm can't be ruled out across the northern fringes of the area as weak perturbations traverse the northern side of the ridge. A weak cold front moves into the area Sunday as the ridge breaks down. This front will collide with the afternoon sea breeze, sparking at least scattered showers and storms. Have raised rain chances a fair bit for Sunday afternoon given the extra convergence and consequent lift. Can't rule out that a couple storms become strong Sunday afternoon given the high amount of DCAPE that will be present thanks to some mid-level dry air and inverted-V soundings.
This could lead to some strong, gusty winds in the strongest storms. Outside of storms, it will be hot with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Some pockets of mid-90s are possible as well for areas that stay dry, especially in the inland parts of the Panhandle and Big Bend. Given that this is the hottest weather so far this year, please take it easy if you're outdoors this weekend. Stay hydrated and stay in the shade. Lows will be in the 60s.
The front exits our area on Monday with still a lingering chance for scattered showers and storms in the Big Bend and I-75 corridor. Otherwise, dry weather returns next week as large scale ridging takes hold. Highs will remain quite warm with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 with lows in the 60s.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 731 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
A few showers and storms are weakening as they're nearing KABY and should be mostly gone by the time they do. Outside of that, VFR conditions are generally expected to prevail this evening at all TAF sites. There is the potential for fog developing in and around most TAF sites by early Friday morning, with the best chance for IFR to LIFR visibility at KECP. Elsewhere, MVFR visibility is expected, but could trend lower depending on how things go this evening into early Friday morning.
A brief bout of MVFR ceilings are possible mid-Friday morning, but shouldn't last terribly long. Light to moderate southerly winds prevail through the period.

Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Tranquil boating conditions will continue for the next several days. Generally light southerly winds will continue through Saturday before a weak cold front moves into the area Sunday and Monday. Winds will clock around as the front passes and become variable early next week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
The main fire highlights are daily chances for morning fog, high afternoon dispersions, and isolated thunderstorms. For this afternoon and evening, convection capable of gusty/erratic winds looks to develop, then cluster mainly over SW GA and SE AL.
Rain chances diminish Friday-Saturday before modestly increasing early next week as a backdoor front slips south into the region while interacting with the Gulf & Atlantic seabreezes. High afternoon dispersions are expected across the Wiregrass on Friday, then focus primarily over SW GA on Saturday. Relative humidity decreases during that time to the upper 30s/low 40s away from the coast.
Lastly, prescribed burners should prepare for unseasonably hot conditions this weekend as high temperatures soar into the upper 80s/low 90s.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Rainfall totals will be generally light with only isolated downpours expected. Flooding is not anticipated over the next week.
