| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 721pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 .SHORT TERM... (This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 327pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 A surface high and ridging aloft will remain in place across the region through Tuesday. This will generally keep afternoon rain chances below normal for this time of year. Even so, model guidance suggests the best likelihood of storm development tomorrow across the western portions of the region, furthest away from the mid level ridging and nearer to a weak shortwave moving through Northern Alabama. With limited thunderstorm activity, high temperatures will warm into the low to mid 90s with heat indices into the low 100s in some locations. Long Term (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 327pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 Throughout the remainder of the forecast period, the ridging aloft will gradually break down by the latter part of the week. There is good agreement in the model guidance of this scenario. As this occurs, rain chances will be on the increase and a break from the heat is expected by Thursday and beyond. There is some difference in the models with how robust convection will be this weekend between the GFS (Global Forecast System) and Euro. The GFS seems to pull a greater amount of moisture from the Gulf into the region and also weaken the ridge at a faster rate, while the Euro just shows an enhanced rain chance pattern, generally more sea breeze focused, with less suppression from a mid level ridge. In any event, there is enough consensus that afternoon and evening storms will be on the increase late in the long term period and possibly continuing into early next week. Temperatures will be on the warm side on Wednesday but then trend cooler as convective activity limits high temperatures to the upper 80s to low 90s. Marine Issued at 327pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 Surface high pressure anchored near Bermuda will provide gentle to moderate easterly to southeasterly breezes the next several days. Seas will remain around 1 to 2 feet. Fire Weather Issued at 327pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 Isolated to scattered showers and storms are possible over the next few days in the afternoon and evening hours. Transport winds will primarily be out of the east to southeast around 5-10 mph over the next few days, turning more onshore closer to the coast as the sea breeze moves inland. Dispersions will be fair to good each afternoon. Hydrology Issued at 327pm EDT Monday Jun 8 2026 Flooding is not a concern the next several days. Of course, as rain chances increase, localized heavy rainfall is possible with any summer thunderstorm with 1-2 inches of rain occurring very quickly, but there is not a widespread threat of flash flooding at this time. Severe to exceptional drought continues for areas generally east of the Apalachicola and Flint Rivers as these areas missed out on the most beneficial recent rains. The drought features long term impacts that are affecting rivers, lakes, and ponds that are still below normal despite recent rains.
