| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 233am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, Marine IRE WEATHER,Hydrology .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 - A heat advisory remains in effect for much of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend as well as far Southern Georgia for heat indices near or above 108 degrees this afternoon. Those who are sensitive to heat or do not have access to adequate cooling or hydration could be impacted by the heat. - Rain chances will be on the increase through the weekend and into early next week. The potential for heavy rainfall increases after Monday, especially in Southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia. - A High Risk of rip currents is forecast to return to our area for today through the weekend. It is strongly discouraged to enter the surf on high risk days. Please heed the beach flags and advice of local officials. .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 The big story for today is the heat. High temperatures should easily warm into the mid 90s with a few locations reaching the upper 90s, especially for areas that avoid any afternoon thunderstorms. While some models suggest dewpoints dropping into the upper 60s, the bulk of the guidance shows dewpoints in the low to mid 70s this afternoon, and this is sufficient to produce an area of heat indices near or just above the 108F criteria for a heat advisory. Steering winds will shift to more of a WNW pattern for today, and this should lead to a late start to convection along the Florida Big Bend and Panhandle sea breezes. However, with moisture levels gradually increasing, storm coverage should be a little greater than on Friday. In addition, high DCAPE values will allow for gusty winds with any storms that develop, and a brief, pulse severe storm cannot be ruled out this afternoon. The best chance of that occurring is across the Florida big bend along the seabreeze boundary this afternoon. For tonight, scattered storms will dissipate after sunset with muggy overnight lows ranging from the mid 70s inland to upper 70s along the coast. Long Term (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 A moistening trend continues for Sunday as a ridge weakens and shifts west of the forecast area. In addition, a trough moves into the Ohio and Tennessee River valleys and pushes a frontal boundary toward the Gulf Coast. This will lead to gradually increasing rain chances into the first half of the week. The presence of a frontal boundary with preciptable water values above 2 inches suggests the threat for heavy rainfall. Our western areas are more vulnerable to flooding compared to our eastern areas given recent heavy rains in this area in May. Even after the frontal feature dissipates on Wednesday, continued southerly to southwesterly flow will keep muggy conditions in place across the region with daily rain chances continuing through the end of the forecast period. The elevated rain chances will help put a break in the heat, with high temperature returning to the upper 80s to low 90s through the middle of next week. Marine Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Mainly light west to southwest winds will prevail through this weekend with some local enhancements along the coast in association with the seabreeze. As a frontal system approaches next week, stronger southwesterly to westerly flow will develop with seas building to 3 to 5 feet. Fire Weather Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Hot weather will prevail through today with isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Heat indices are expected to be in the 106 to 110 degree range this afternoon. MinRH will generally be between 40 to 50 percent this afternoon before increasing slightly Sunday and Monday. Rain chances will also increase somewhat this weekend as moisture returns to the region. However, the best chance of wetting rains will come next week. Hydrology Issued at 227am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 No significant flash or riverine flooding is expected through the weekend. However, locally heavy downpours are expected within any showers and storms that develop. For early next week, a marginal to slight to risk of flash flooding is a concern for Monday and Tuesday, mainly across the western half of the area. A slow moving frontal boundary coupled with high preciptable water values is expected to result in multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms with locally heavy rain. The western portions of the forecast area have already been especially wet from rainfall in May and are much more vulnerable to flash flooding than the eastern portions of the forecast area. In the meantime, it's been a very dry start to June. The Tallahassee area is currently tied for the 5th driest start to June on record with only 0.02 inches of rain so far at the airport through the first 12 days of the month. 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.
