PREV DISCUSSION [309 PM EDT]
NEAR TERM [THROUGH TONIGHT]
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WILL BE MOST PREVALENT ABOUT AN AXIS DEFINED BY CROSS CITY - PERRY -
TALLAHASSEE - MARIANNA - DOTHAN, WHERE PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL IS
AROUND 30 TO 40 PERCENT. WITH LESS HIGH CLOUDINESS TONIGHT, PATCHY
FOG MAY COVERAGE MAY BE GREATER COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT. GUIDANCE
IS INDICATING THIS POTENTIAL IS GREATEST ACROSS THE WESTERN FL
PANHANDLE AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA, WHERE THE FORECAST
REFLECTS THIS. TEMPERATURES WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
70S.
SHORT TERM [TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT]
DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL ALLOW ABOVE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES AND
SUPPRESS RAIN CHANCES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ISOLATED
AND DIURNAL IN NATURE, WITH HIGHER COVERAGE IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES.
AVAILABLE MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN OUR EASTERN AREAS ON
WEDNESDAY, RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE
MID-UPPER 90S, WITH HEAT INDICES EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES. LOWS WILL
HOVER AROUND THE MID-70S.
LONG TERM [THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY]
DESPITE THE RIDGE REMAINING IN PLACE, INCREASING MOISTURE WILL
RETURN US TO A TYPICAL SUMMER SEABREEZE PATTERN WITH NEAR AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES AND POPS. HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 90S WILL GRADUALLY
COOL INTO THE LOWER-90S, WITH LOWS REMAINING IN THE MID-70S. HEAT
INDICES WILL APPROACH ADVISORY LEVELS AS WE ENTER LATE WEEK.
MARINE
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS OF 5 TO 10 KNOTS WILL PREVAIL FOR MOST OF
THE PERIOD, BECOMING MORE NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND. CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED EACH DAY STARTING WEDNESDAY.
FIRE WEATHER
HAZARDOUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS RHS WILL REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS ACROSS
THE REGION. HIGH DISPERSIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS SUFFICIENT
TRANSPORT WINDS AND MIXING HEIGHTS WILL BE IN PLACE. LOW
DISPERSIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN BIG BEND WHERE TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE
WEAK.
HYDROLOGY
A RELATIVELY DRY STRETCH OF WEATHER FEATURING ISOLATED PRECIPITATION
WILL END ON TUESDAY, THEN RETURNING TO A MORE SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION
THEREAFTER INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND, WITH SEA-BREEZE
DRIVEN AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR ABOVE AVERAGE PRECIP LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN DETAILS. ASIDE FROM THE TYPICAL,
LOCALIZED POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING FROM HEAVIER DOWNPOURS, THERE ARE
NO OTHER FLOODING CONCERNS AT THIS TIME.
