| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 933pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 ...New .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 929pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 - The daily cycle of morning coastal thunderstorms and afternoon inland storms will continue areawide through Sunday, when the focus shifts to the Florida Counties. Stronger storms will be capable of gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall. - Moderate heat-related impacts are expected each day through Tuesday, with heat index values generally reaching the 98-106 degree range each afternoon. There is a low to medium chance of dangerous heat index values exceeding 107 degrees on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, mainly over the Florida counties. - Patchy morning fog is expected over inland areas again Sunday. Issued at 929pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 Nudged Probability of Precipitation up around Gadsden/Leon/Wakulla over the next hour or so to account for the storms that recently popped up. They're not expected to persist beyond 90 mins. Otherwise, no other updates appear necessary this evening. .SHORT TERM AND Long Term (This Evening through next Friday) Issued at 254pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 While not as robust as yesterday, additional shortwave energy aloft today is aiding scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms, with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Tonight, the low-level moist air mass and a tendency for skies to clear is expected to result in patchy fog Sunday morning over the inland areas. Shower and storm coverage will increase again early Sunday morning closer to the coast (albeit less coverage compared to previous days), then move inland into the FL Counties by the afternoon, with activity more seabreeze driven. Isolated to scattered showers and storms possible again on Monday and Tuesday, mainly south of I-10. Stronger storms will be capable of gusty winds, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. Anomalous ridge aloft will maximize early next week. The combination of highs in the mid-90s and dew points in the mid-70s yields a low to medium chance of dangerous heat index values exceeding 107 deg on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, mainly over the Florida counties. Otherwise, moderate heat-related impacts are expected each day, with heat index values generally reaching the 98-106 degree range each afternoon. Wednesday is looking to be the driest day of the week, with dew points falling into the 60s away from the Gulf Coast. Despite highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s, the drier air will begin to alleviate heat concerns. Increased easterly flow will gradually moisten the air mass, with a higher chance of showers and storms by Friday. Marine Issued at 254pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 With high pressure forecast just to the west of the waters on Sunday and Monday, winds tend to become West-Northwest, except onshore in the seabreeze zone during the afternoon and evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected to be centered again on Sunday morning with briefly higher winds and seas possible. Waterspouts cannot be ruled out. A notable decrease in the coverage of showers and storms early next week. Strong high pressure nosing down the Eastern Seaboard will favor moderate easterly breezes Tuesday, which will become fresh Tuesday Night into Wednesday. There is a low to medium chance of meeting or exceeding advisory level winds Wednesday and Thursday. Fire Weather Issued at 254pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected across much of the region on Saturday, with the greatest coverage shifting to the FL districts on Sunday, before a notable decrease forecast on Monday. Storms will come with sudden gusty winds, frequent lightning and brief torrential downpours. Southerly transport winds Saturday become Westerly on Sunday. On Saturday, the light nature of the transport winds combined with modest mixing heigheights will lead to pockets of poor dispersion across the Florida districts that will persist through the afternoon. The heat index will be in the 98-107 degree range through early next week. Dangerous heat indices above 107 degrees are possible Sunday into early next week mainly across the FL districts. Hydrology Issued at 254pm EDT Sat September 12 2026 The focus for scattered showers and storms will shift to the Florida Counties on Sunday. Much of the upcoming week will feature more isolated storm coverage generally south of I-10 and the Florida Big Bend. While the combination of locally heavy rainfall and slow moving storms may lead to minor urban and poor drainage flooding, widespread flooding and river flooding is not expected through the period.
