FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STALLED ACROSS THE REGION THIS PERIOD.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON, AND GRADUALLY FOCUS MORE INLAND DUE TO THE ATLANTIC SEA
BREEZE. THE CONVECTION WILL LARGELY DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING
HOURS, BUT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL REMAIN ALONG THE EAST COAST,
WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE, THROUGH THE NIGHT.
SHORT TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1253 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2025
A WET WEEKEND AHEAD AS NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS
ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY. ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE DURING THE
WEEKEND AS A COASTAL TROUGH SITS OFF THE ALTANTIC COAST. ELEVATED
PWATS (2"-2.35") WILL SUPPORT PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS
BETWEEN THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND THE INLAND MOVING
ATLANTIC SEA BREEZE SUPPORTED BY THE ONSHORE FLOW. WITH THE
ONSHORE FLOW REMAINING LIGHT, SLOW STORM MOTION WILL INCREASE THE
RISK FOR FLOODING AS SHOWERS AND STORMS MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS THE
AREA, AS RAINFALL TOTALS FROM 2"-5" WITH HIGHER LOCALIZED AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH THE DAILY SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL KEEP THE LOCAL AREA TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING INTO THE UPPER
80S OVER NE FL AND THE MID 80S OVER SE GA. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE
LOWER 70S FOR INLAND LOCATIONS AND MID 70S ALONG THE COAST.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1253 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2025
THE WET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERS,
WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS AGAIN POSSIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO WANE BY MIDWEEK AS
HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE ATLANTIC. TEMPS DURING
THE FIRST HALF OF THE UPCOMING WEEK AROUND THE LOWER 90S WILL
BEGIN TO TICK UPWARD TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS CLOUD COVER
BEGINS TO LESSEN AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1253 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY FOCUS MORE INLAND THIS
AFTERNOON. RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY. GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED IN AND NEAR STORMS. CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING, BUT ACTIVITY MAY LINGER THROUGH
THE NIGHT FOR TAF SITES NEAR THE COAST.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING RESTRICTIONS WILL BE COMMON
SATURDAY.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1253 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2025
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE OVER THE AREA TODAY. AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY OFF THE
SOUTHEASTERN US COAST. THIS LOW WOULD MOVE THEN NORTHEAST OF THE
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND, AS TROUGHING EXTENDS SOUTHWEST OVER AREA
WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTHEAST NEXT WEEK.
