Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 615 AM EDT Fri Aug 7 2020

AVIATION. [Through 12Z Saturday]

MVFR cigs have moved into VLD over the past hour and expect to atleast be tempo conditions through daybreak. Still expecting VFR conds throughout the day into the evening hours. Convection is ongoing across the Gulf waters and FL Big Bend. TLH/VLD have the better chances of TSRA today with lower chanced at ABY/DHN.

PREV DISCUSSION [236 AM EDT].

NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].

A tropical wave is moving through the Gulf with a plume of moisture being pulled into the southeast US via ridging off the Atlantic coast and a weak trough from the midwest southward into the central Gulf. Convection should be ongoing in the Gulf waters by daybreak which should give an early start to storms over land, initially in the Big Bend, then a little later associated with the seabreeze. Have the better rain chances the Big Bend as well as the western FL panhandle with lesser chances north into SE AL and SW GA. Highs will be in the mid 90s with heat indices in the mid 100s.

SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday].

The overall mid/upper level pattern shows a weakness in the east to west ridging from the western Atlantic across the GOMEX over our local area through the weekend. The pressure pattern at the surface will be weak resulting in mainly light and variable winds except onshore flow around 10 mph with the afternoon seabreezes. This combined with daytime temps reaching the lower to mid 90s and sufficient moisture will lead to scattered diurnal convection each day. The best chances appear to be over our far eastern zones where the deepest moisture will reside. Lows Saturday night will be in the middle 70s.

LONG TERM [Sunday Night Through Thursday].

The weakness in the mid/upper ridging becomes more pronounced next week as a few impulses move into the local region. Models also show an increase in deep layer moisture throughout the Tri-state area with forecast model soundings showing PW's increasing to just over 2.0". All indications are that we will see above seasonal chances for showers and thunderstorms with PoPs each day mostly be in the good chance to likely (50-70%) range. High temperatures will be in the lower to mid 90s with lows in the lower to mid 70s.

MARINE.

Light winds with a westerly component and low seas will make for favorable boating conditions at least through early 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 where precipitation persists for long durations. 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.
