Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 241am EDT Fri July 3 2020 .NEAR TERM [Today Through Tonight]... A weak upper level shortwave will slip further down the Eastern Seaboard today, resulting in the persistent surface front moving further into the Tri-State region. Light steering level winds will result in the Gulf seabreeze remaining mostly in north Florida today. Storms are expected to initiate along each of these boundaries by this afternoon, with the most widespread coverage expected when outflow from the initial round of storms collide with one another across the Big Bend and Suwannee Valley. High temperatures will reach the low 90s before storms become widespread, with heat indices climbing to around 105 degrees in the Big Bend. Storms will be slow to dissipate after sunset and will gradually drift southwest along the more dominant boundary associated with the front. After midnight storms should primarily reside offshore. .SHORT TERM [Tomorrow Through Sunday]... In the upper levels, a weak trough will be over the Southeast. At the surface, a weak low will linger near the Florida Panhandle with southerly low level flow over the region. Showers and thunderstorms will be numerous with precipitable water values around 2 inches or higher tomorrow and Sunday. POPs will be 60 to 90 percent for the entire region in the afternoon and evening hours. A few strong to severe storms will be likely during max heating. Highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Lows will be in the lower 70s. Long Term - Sunday Night Through Friday In the upper levels, a weak trough will be over the region until a weak ridge builds in midweek.
