Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 857pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 ...New Issued at 857pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 No changes appear necessary to the forecast at this time. Near Term (Through Wednesday) Issued at 333pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Generally dry, breezy and pleasant conditions are expected through Wednesday, with only increasing rain chances across the southeast Big Bend due to the approach of Hurricane Milton. Expect highs in the mid 70s to low 80s Wednesday afternoon with lows in the mid 60s to low 70s. .SHORT TERM... (Wednesday night through Thursday night) Issued at 333pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Breezy conditions are expected to continue through the short term as Milton pushes by to the southeast and east, with the windiest time frame generally expected during the day on Thursday. At some point as Milton moves by it should be undergoing extratropical transition and interacting with a frontal boundary nearby, causing gusty gradient winds to extend well outside the usual envelop of a tropical system. We will likely need a wind advisory for portions of the Florida Big Bend and southern Georgia not covered under tropical headlines on Thursday, and these winds could hamper recovery efforts from Helene and/or cause damage to weakened trees or structures. See the Hurricane Local Statement for the latest on Hurricane Milton. Long Term (Friday through Monday) Issued at 333pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Generally dry and relatively cool conditions are expected in the wake of Milton as high pressure settles in over the area. Highs are forecast to drop into the 70s across most of the area Friday before gradually warming through the weekend. Lows are forecast in the upper 40s to mid 50s (yes you read that right!) Saturday morning before again gradually warming. No rainfall is expected. Marine Issued at 333pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect from Indian Pass to the mouth of the Suwannee River. For our waters west of Apalachee Bay, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect. Winds and seas will increase heading into Wednesday as Milton tracks towards the Florida peninsula. The strongest winds and highest seas are expected from late Wednesday into Thursday morning. After Milton passes, winds and seas will be on a decreasing trend heading into the weekend. Fire Weather Issued at 333pm EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Generally dry and breezy conditions are expected for the next several days as Hurricane Milton gets closer and pushes across the Florida Peninsula. The eastern Big Bend could see some rainfall from Milton, but the rest of the area is expected to remain fairly dry. However, very breezy conditions are expected particularly on Thursday as Milton passes to the southeast and east, driving up dispersions as a result. Otherwise, there are no fire weather concerns. Hydrology Issued at 259am EDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024 Forecast rainfall with Hurricane Milton exhibits a very sharp gradient of values across the southeast FL Big Bend. Generally, a widespread 1 to 2 inches with isolated higher amounts near 3 inches will be possible across the southeast Big Bend, with little rainfall expected elsewhere. These higher totals could lead to some flash flooding, but the most likely impact from heavy rainfall at this time appears to be the hindrance to ongoing recovery efforts in the wake of Helene. Any impact Hurricane Milton may have on the Suwannee River will likely come from upstream flows out of the Santa Fe River, but we'll have to wait and see what happens in that basin at this point. Otherwise, no additional heavy rainfall or flooding is expected. Any northward shifts in the track and/or further expansion of the forecast size of Milton could cause forecast rainfall values to increase again.
