This will act to suppress much of the convection today with isolated coverage. Out west the effects of the ridge will not be as strong and widely scattered coverage is possible. Winds will be light this morning becoming southerly later this morning.VFR outside of convection. Prev discussion [349 am edt] Near term [through today] Upper ridging is present in the gulf and western atlantic with southerly low-level flow toward the western fl panhandle. Dry air aloft and subsidence in the eastern portion of our CWA should keep pops low in the big bend. Best chance for showers and thunderstorms will be in the western panhandle and southern al via seabreeze- driven convection. Highs will be in the low-to-mid 90s. Short term [tonight through Sunday] Pwats increase through the short term as a tropical wave moves near florida and a weak frontal boundary sags southward. This will cause the mid level ridge to weaken and retreat as a shortwave trough moves through the central plains. This will help deepen the northeast long wave trough and aid in pushing the front southward. The combination of these features will add the convergence needed for scattered to locally numerous thunderstorms especially into Sunday where likely pops are advertised. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s Saturday with upper 80s to around 90 degrees Sunday with added cloud cover and rainfall. Long term [Sunday night through Friday] High atmospheric moisture will be the story next week with pwat values in excess of two inches through the period. Storm coverage early in the week will mainly be diurnal sea breeze driven and given the degree of moisture expect pretty good coverage over the inland areas along with locally very heavy rainfall. Later in the period... Wed thu... Heights fall as a trough digs into the eastern conus and a weakening cold front tries to make a run at the region. The front won't make it but another surge of moisture will keep the threat for convection going. Temperatures will remain around seasonal normals throughout the week. |
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 Just isolated storms are expected through Saturday which will allow elevated rivers over the eastern big bend to continue to subside. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will increase early next week as deep tropical moisture returns. Locally heavy rains are likely each day next week but widespread flooding is not anticipated at this time. 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. |
