Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 605am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday night) Issued at 343am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 Surface high pressure moseying east along the Gulf Coast will keep cold temperatures over the region into the weekend. Daytime highs Friday and Saturday will modestly warm back into the upper 40s to lower 50s, which is still a solid 10 degrees below normal, or low to middle 60s. Overnight lows remain bitterly cold with widespread lower to middle 20s each night. Additional Cold Weather Advisories and/or Freeze Warnings for a hard freeze are likely needed both nights. Aloft, a sharp H5 shortwave races through the Deep South and Southeast, bringing a reinforcing shot of cold air to the region. This will be a dry frontal passage, so no rain or wintry precipitation is expected. The biggest concern will be the potential for additional spots of black ice on the roadways Friday night, especially for those areas that may still have snow across portions of southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia. The same thing can be said for Saturday night if, and only if, any snow remains by Saturday afternoon. Long Term (Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 343am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 A warming trend is forecast to begin in earnest across the region as surface high pressure slides to the east and into the western Atlantic Ocean. Easterly to southeasterly breezes should push temperatures back into the upper 50s to middle 60s for highs next week with overnight lows warming back into the middle to upper 30s Sunday night to the middle 40s by Tuesday night. Rain chances return along with the warmer weather next work week. The H5 pattern next week will be somewhat interesting across the country. The H5 low over Hudson Bay remains in place with a trough across the Great Lakes and Northeast. Meanwhile, a cut-off low is forecast to form over the weekend into early next week across the western third of the country. What does that mean for the southeast? Zonal (west to east) flow! A few perturbations within the mean flow are expected to move through the Southern Plains and into the Southeast. This will increase rain chances for our area as early as Monday with better chances by mid-week. There remains a fair amount of uncertainty with regards to timing of rain chances next week, so be sure to check back for updates. Marine Issued at 343am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 Light to moderate northerly winds are expected through Friday. High pressure moves across the northeastern Gulf over the weekend, allowing winds to become more northeasterly Saturday and Sunday and more easterly early next week. Fire Weather Issued at 343am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 A cool and dry air mass will prevail through this weekend. Temperatures will run well below normal, with hard freezes to start each morning through Sunday. Any rainfall early next week will be light, and should fall short of a wetting rain. Otherwise, a surface high pressure ridge passing across the region today will limit daytime dispersion into the fair category. A dry reinforcing cold front early Friday will bring a short-lived increase in northwest and northerly winds. Strong surface high pressure will settle directly over the districts on Saturday, with the low mixing heigheights and light winds supporting only poor dispersion. Hydrology Issued at 343am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 Flooding is not anticipated over the next several days. That said, rain chances return to the forecast next week with generally less than 0.25" of rain currently anticipated across the region.
