Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 306pm EDT Sunday Mar 23 2025 .SHORT TERM AND Long Term (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 250pm EDT Sunday Mar 23 2025 Mid-level impulse exits the region Monday night leaving behind a quasi-stationary frontal boundary. Lingering thunder chances will continue through at least the early part of Monday night. While the instability and deep layer shear will be waining, mid-level lapse rates remain fairly steep with a veering wind profile. This may support a low potential for some gusty winds and small hail into the overnight hours, if there is sufficient synoptic scale forcing, which remains uncertain. Otherwise, with a lingering boundary that will pool surface moisture, the environment should be conducive to the development of fog by sunrise, especially across FL Counties into the southern tier of adjacent Southwest GA Counties. With the frontal boundary remaining in the vicinity on Tuesday, along with PWATs (Precipitable Waters) around 1.5 inches and CAPE around 500 J/kg, maintained a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Activity will be diurnally driven, and highest chances are expected to be in FL into Southern tier of GA Counties, with added convergence from the sea-breeze. The front begins to push south of the region on Tuesday night, with another round of patchy fog likely, mainly in the FL Counties and Flint River Valley where the greater surface moisture is expected to reside. A benign and warm weather pattern is expected for the remainder of the period from Wednesday into Saturday, with dry northwest flow aloft. The approach of the next system on Saturday leads to increased cloudiness with showers just off to the west. With 500 hPa heigheights around 576 to 579 Decameters, went closer to the 75th percentile of guidance for highs from Tuesday thru Saturday, ranging from the lower to middle 80s inland, and around 70 to 75 along the coast. From Wednesday through Friday mornings, went closer to the 25th percentile of guidance in some cases due to more favorable longwave/radiational cooling conditions. A dry and comfortable air mass will remain in place, and w/favorable conditions for turbulent mixing each afternoon from Tuesday through Thursday (especially Wednesday), went closer to the 10th percentile of guidance for dew points. Marine Issued at 250pm EDT Sunday Mar 23 2025 A frontal boundary approaches the waters on Monday with increasing shower and thunderstorm chances, which will linger through Monday night. Some storms could produce gusty winds in excess of 34 knots and waterspouts. Dry weather returns on Tuesday with a cold front moving through the waters Tuesday night. Behind the front as high pressure builds to the north of the waters, easterly wind surges on Wednesday night into Thursday morning and again on Thursday night may approach speeds around 15 to 20 knots, along with wave heigheights building to around 3 feet over the waters just offshore. Fire Weather Issued at 250pm EDT Sunday Mar 23 2025 A cold front looks to approach the region tomorrow with around a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rainfall expected across the region. MinRH values after the cold front passes, that is Tuesday and Wednesday, look to begin decreasing as drier air moves in from the north. MinRH values begin to approach critical thresholds late Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon. Hydrology Issued at 250pm EDT Sunday Mar 23 2025 Portions of the Ochlockonee, Saint Marks, and Aucilla Rivers continue to fall through action stage. Average rainfall with the system centered on Monday and Monday night should generally be at or below one inch, which is not expected to contribute to any additional flooding concerns. Thereafter, dry weather is on tap for several days. NOAA Tallahassee FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GA...None. AL...None. GM...None. |
