.KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 914pm EDT Monday August 31 2026

- Above average temperatures are expected this week with afternoon temperatures running 3-7 degrees above normal over inland areas. There is a low to medium chance of peak heat index values exceeding 107F on one or more afternoons from mid week into the weekend across portions of the Florida panhandle and Apalachicola National Forest.

- Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms will continue through the week. The highest chances are expected be across the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, with lower chances across Southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia.

Issued at 914pm EDT Monday August 31 2026

No significant changes were made to the forecast this evening.

.SHORT TERM AND Long Term (This Evening through Sunday) Issued at 150pm EDT Monday August 31 2026

The anticyclonic motion from an area of high pressure north of the region will bring northeasterly flow today and into tomorrow. This flow will pin any convection to the coast with rain chances today and tomorrow afternoon confined mostly south of I-10, where the sea breeze could potentially extend far enough to generate any lift. Dry air with weak surface flow to the north over the region will inhibit convective development.

Patchy fog is possible for northeastern counties near Albany through Valdosta as light to calm wind inhibit the potential for mixing to occur overnight into tomorrow morning.

As the high pressure propagates eastward the prevailing flow shifts to onshore allowing for afternoon sea breezes to generate lift and push a more moist air mass further into the region. This will raise PWATs (Precipitable Waters) in the afternoons mid to late this week allowing for an increase in the potential to see more widespread convection across the forecast area. Remnants of Dolly might possibly interact with our region late in the week and into the weekend leading, potentially leading to an increase in rainfall, check back for updates.

Marine
Issued at 150pm EDT Monday August 31 2026

Light to gentle easterly breezes will prevail through this week in response to persistent high pressure to the north. Nearshore seabreezes will interrupt the easterly flow each afternoon.

Fire Weather
Issued at 150pm EDT Monday August 31 2026

General easterly flow will prevail for much of this week with daily chances of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The highest chances will be over our Florida and far South Georgia districts. Above normal temperatures are expected, with a seasonably moist and unstable air mass. Good dispersions are expected over the next few days.

Hydrology
Issued at 230am EDT Monday August 31 2026

Scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms through this week may lead to short-lived nuisance runoff issues beneath the core of heavier storms.
