| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 240pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, Marine IRE WEATHER,Hydrology Near Term (Through Saturday) Issued at 236pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 Upper ridging will strengthen through the Great Lakes with an extension of the upper high in the Midwest. South of this feature, troughing will stretch through the northern Gulf which will support the stationary boundary to the south which has resided in that area for the last several days. Surface ridging will continue building into the southern US from southern Canada with drier air pushing in. However, until that trough pushes out of the area taking the boundary with it, the Gulf and southeast Big Bend will remain with an influx in moisture. Convection will occur in the north central Gulf with mid/high clouds streaming up from the southwest. Also, the southeast Big Bend will keep a low end chance of rain Saturday. Otherwise, Saturday appears pleasant with highs warming into the mid/upper 80s after lows in the morning in the 60s. .SHORT & Long Term (Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 236pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 Overall, not a whole lot of day-to-day change is anticipated through the period. Ample sunshine should push daytime highs into the middle to upper 80s each afternoon. Overnight lows generally dip into the lower to middle 60s across the region each night. An H5 ridge building across the eastern third of the country over the weekend coupled with a weak trough of low pressure off the Eastern Seaboard will continue to provide dry weather across the County Warning Area (CWA). Surface high pressure situated over the Great Lakes and Northeast provides a pleasant, almost fall-like, northeasterly breeze most of the period. Those two things combine to keep rain chances virtually nil for much of the CWA (County Warning Area) through at least Thursday. An H5 trough is forecast to finally move out of the western US into the middle of the country by the middle of next week, dragging a cold front along with it. This begins to squeeze the H5 ridge and surface high out of the northeast and introduces the potential for some southerly flow near the very end of the period. This could boost temperatures up a few degrees next Thursday. While the odds of a cold front arriving later next week have increased, the potential impacts (rain/temperatures) remain highly uncertain at this time. Marine Issued at 236pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 A moderate to strong easterly flow is forecast to persist this weekend into next week. Winds are forecast to remain at or above cautionary levels into the middle of the week with advisory conditions likely returning Sunday through Tuesday morning. A stalled front over the Gulf of Mexico will maintain the chance for showers and storms into Monday. Maritime convection will be capable of gusty winds, lightning strikes, and potential waterspouts. Fire Weather Issued at 236pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 There are no significant fire weather concerns outside of high dispersions over the next several days. Surface high pressure will remain to the north with northeast surface winds firmly entrenched through the area for the next several days. Drier air will slowly filter southward through the forecast period with any low rain chances confined to the immediate coast or extreme southeast Florida Big Bend. Hydrology Issued at 236pm EDT Fri September 29 2023 There are no flooding concerns at this time thanks to little to no rain is anticipated the next several days.
