| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 638am EDT Wednesday July 15 2026 .SHORT TERM AND Long Term (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 133am EDT Wednesday July 15 2026 After a couple active days, the upper-low that was over the southeast has retrograded out towards Arkansas and continues to move westward. As we lose its influence we'll return to a more typical summer pattern influenced by diurnal instability. Today through Friday the prevailing flow will generally be out of the west- northwest, allowing lower PWAT (Precipitable Water) air to filter into the region and suppress convection, with below normal rain chances expected through Friday. This weekend, a PV cluster moving north through the eastern Gulf, along the Florida west coast, looks to interact with an approaching trough from the northwest. Given the increasingly hostile environment associated with troughs (increasing wind shear), this PV cluster is not anticipated to organize into anything other than increased rain chances across the northeast Gulf. We'll see the aforementioned trough remain over the Eastern Seaboard through at least midweek as ridging amplifies across the western half of the country. This will again lead to prevailing west to northwesterly flow potentially leading to below normal rain chances Monday through Midweek. Daytime highs are generally expected to be in the mid 90s with overnight lows generally in the mid to upper 70s. Dew points the next couple days look to take a hit each afternoon as lower PWAT (Precipitable Water) air mixes in, keeping heat indicies generally in the 95-105 degree range outside of the immediate coastline where up to 107 degrees will be possible. As moisture increases this weekend and beyond, heat indicies may begin to approach heat advisory conditions. Marine Issued at 133am EDT Wednesday July 15 2026 Light to moderate westerly breezes return today and linger through the rest of the work week thanks to surface high pressure anchored across the Florida Peninsula. Daily increases to 15 to 20 knots along the nearshore waters can be expected due to the seabreeze. Fire Weather Issued at 133am EDT Wednesday July 15 2026 A more summer-like pattern is expected through the rest of the work week as the heat and humidity return. Good to excellent dispersions are forecast today and Thursday. Other than high dispersions there are no other fire weather concerns. Hydrology Issued at 133am EDT Wednesday July 15 2026 Around 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected over the next week with isolated high amounts possible under downpours. Riverine flooding is not expected.
