NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Surface high pressure will sit over us today and tonight, leading to quiet and dry conditions. High temperatures today will make it into the low 70s across our GA and AL counties, while FL counties peak in the mid 70s. Tonight, another cool night is in store for us with the mid to upper 40s for GA, AL, and inland FL counties, while coastal zones sit closer to the upper 40s near 50.
SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
What we can expect for the weekend is surface high pressure and an upper level ridge creating pleasant conditions for the Tri- State region. During the day on Sunday, dew points will be increasing from the Gulf, thanks to southerly flow. Although PoPs remain NIL, the humidity will increase. Temperatures for this weekend will be in the 50s for the morning lows and upper 70s to low 80s for the afternoon highs.
LONG TERM
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Upper level ridging and surface high pressure will prevail into the start of the work week for the southeast U
S
Over the central plains, a surface low will be moving into the midwestern states with a cold front. The trailing end of the front is expected to impact the Southeast by Tuesday, heading into Wednesday. Showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms are probable with Pops of about 50 percent Tuesday through Wednesday. It is too soon to determine the intensity of the thunderstorms that may develop, but we'll keep you updated as confidence increases.
Prior to the front's arrival on Tuesday night-ish, temperatures will be on the climb. Morning lows will increase from the upper 50s to the low-mid 60s by Wednesday morning. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 80s, with possibly a location approaching 90 degrees by Tuesday. Following the frontal passage, afternoon highs will cool back to the 70s with morning lows in the mid to upper 40s by the end of the term.

Gusty winds will diminish by this afternoon as high pressure moves into the northern Gulf of Mexico. Then, favorable conditions are expected to last through the weekend as winds turn more out of the southeast to south. A cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms by the middle of next week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 249 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Dry weather prevails through the period, with high dispersion forecast for the majority of the area, excluding the coastal FL zones, on Saturday and Sunday. Outside of that, the only other fire weather concern will be lower RH values today. For areas along and west of the Flint and Apalachicola Rivers, minRH values will generally be somewhere between 20 and 30 percent, with values east of that line ranging from about 25 to 35 percent. Overnight recovery tonight should be could and in the 75 to 85 percent range. Winds tomorrow will take on a more southerly component which will start to usher some moisture back into the region.
MinRH values for Saturday will vary with SE AL bottoming out between 25 and 35 percent along with GA counties west of the Flint River. Areas east and then down into FL will have minRH values closer to 30 to 45, perhaps higher along the coast. Moistening continues into Sunday; however, the next chance for rain doesn't arrive until midweek.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 249 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
A few rivers continue to rise through action stage, notably the Ochlockonee, Withlacoochee and Aucilla. The Ochlocknee at Concord may reach Minor Flood stage later this weekend or Monday.
Otherwise, all the others are expected to remain in action stage and lower through the weekend into early next week as rain chances remain near zero. The next chance for rain is with a cold front next Tuesday into Wednesday.
