Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 120am EDT Monday September 23 2019 Near Term - Through Tonight High pressure situated over the mid-Atlantic states is producing light easterly winds around 5 knots on its southern periphery. A wedge of dry air is in place over our entire CWA, contributing to basically zero PoPs. High temperatures around 90 this afternoon will bottom out comfortably in the middle 60s for overnight lows. Short Term - Monday Through Tuesday Night Fair weather is anticipated during the short term. A deep layer ridge continues to shift west of the area, which will allow a weak boundary to approach from the north on Tuesday. A thin ribbon of moisture will accompany this feature, but large scale lift is absent. An isolated shower is possible northwest of the Flint River on Tuesday. Patchy fog will be possible on Tuesday morning, but confidence is not high enough to include in the forecast at this time. Temperatures will range from the low to mid 90s on Monday and Tuesday, well above average for late September. The daily record high in Tallahassee on Tuesday is 96 set back in both 1931 and 1933, and this could be challenged. Long Term - Wednesday Through Sunday Deep layer ridging is expected to continue across the region through the forecast period. The main story will be the heat. High temperatures are forecast to be in the middle 90s through Saturday, with some relief possible by Sunday in association with the backdoor cold front. Daily record high temperatures at both Tallahassee and Apalachicola could be challenged on multiple days during this time frame! In addition heat index values in the FL Panhandle are expected to range from 100 to 105 degrees during this time frame. The next chance for any precipitation more than an isolated shower would be on Sunday with the backdoor front, but guidance is trending dry at this time. Marine Tranquil boating conditions are expected to return this evening and continue through the remainder of the forecast period. Fire Weather Conditions will remain dry for the next few days but fire concerns remain on the low side through the next few days. Hydrology A dry stretch of weather is expected to continue over the next week with well above average temperatures. Portions of the area are at less than 50 percent of normal precipitation over the past 30 days, and are experiencing abnormally dry conditions to moderate drought in some cases. Most local rivers also have stream flows below normal levels. No flooding issues expected. NOAA Tallahassee FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GA...None. AL...None. GM...None. |
