| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 1135am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 ...New Issued at 1130am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 Forecast is on track and little changes were needed. Plenty of sunshine under high pressure and highs in the 70s. Near Term (Today and tonight) Issued at 506am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 High pressure dominates the region for today with warming temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s with light surface winds becoming southerly by this afternoon and evening; and zonal flow aloft. The sea breeze may develop and move towards Panama City this afternoon. Overnight temperatures will be in the low 50s. It'll be another chance for radiational cooling as we will have clear skies and light winds again but, not as cool as the previous night. .SHORT AND Long Term (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 506am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 Upper level ridging slowly builds into the region and then holds steady through the period. At the surface, high pressure will have shifted to the east and flattened due to frontal system passing by to our north. This could bring some light showers and perhaps a few rumbles of thunder to our northern AL and GA counties on Thursday, with mainly dry conditions prevailing before and after that time. A large low pressure system then develops over the north central plains, which will tighten the pressure gradient over the southeast. This could lead to some breezy and dry weather for the weekend. Marine Issued at 506am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 Moderate easterly become gentle today, with winds becoming more light and variable for Wednesday. This will lead to subsiding seas and tranquil boating conditions. By mid to late week winds teeter between easterly and southerly. Winds are expected increase this weekend as the pressure gradient tightens. Fire Weather Issued at 506am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 Lighter transport winds will lead to fairer dispersions for the next few days. Mixing heigheights are still expected to exceed 5500 feet but elevated dispersions are not expected. MinRH values will be in the low 30s and upper 20s for today, and gradually increase to the upper 30s and low 40s through the rest of the period. There are minimal chances for a wetting rain over the next several days. Hydrology Issued at 506am EDT Tuesday April 23 2024 Minor river flooding continues along the St. Marks, Aucilla, lower Withlacoochee, and lower and middle Suwannee Rivers. The St. Marks, Aucilla, and Withlacoochee have crested and are falling. The flood wave is just now reaching Luraville and will continue proceeding downstream over the next several days. No rainfall is anticipated, and no additional flood concerns are expected.
