Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 812pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 ...New Issued at 811pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 A couple of showers and storms still lingering over the area this evening should continue to dissipate over the next couple of hours. Otherwise a quiet summer night is expected. Near Term (Through Saturday) Issued at 136pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 An upper level ridge will be building to our east as the weak tropical low dissipates over Louisiana today. Lingering showers along the coast moving inland this afternoon will be capable of strong gusty winds and heavy downpours, due to PWATs (Precipitable Waters) still being elevated around 2 inches. Yet the high pressure will overall reduce Probability of Precipitation for Saturday, with rain chances ranging from 30-40 percent. Temperatures this evening will be warm/muggy with lows in the mid-70s. The high pressure will allow for warming temperatures as we head into the weekend. Saturday's highs will be in the mid to upper 90s. With dew points in the 70s, heat indices will be ranging in the 105-110 range. There will be some locations that will reach 108 degrees, which meets criteria for a heat advisory. However, these apparent temps don't appear to be widespread enough to necessitate one for tomorrow. .SHORT TERM AND Long Term (Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 136pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 Deep layer ridging will continue through the weekend. Slightly drier air will filter in from the northwest, allowing for Probability of Precipitation to be reduced for the remainder of the weekend. Probability of Precipitation will range between 20- 30 percent for Sunday. And the high pressure will allow temperatures to increase to the upper 90s, near 100 degrees. Depending on how well dew points mix out in the afternoons, heat indices will likely reach the criteria for a heat advisory by the start of the work week. Heat indices are forecast to reach the 107-115 degree range. Advisory criteria is 108 degrees. We will be monitoring through the weekend. Following Monday, a surface trough develops to our northeast and breaks down the ridge. This will increase our moisture content and gradually lower our temperatures back to the mid-90s. Overnight lows will hold steady in the mid-70s. Probability of Precipitation will return to a more summertime pattern of diurnally-driven thunderstorms with Probability of Precipitation around 60-80 percent each afternoon. Long Term Marine Issued at 136pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 Favorable marine conditions are forecast into next week as high pressure builds through the Gulf waters. Southerly winds today will become westerly by the end of the weekend with speeds near and around 10 knots. Seas decrease to 1 to 2 feet beginning this weekend. Fairly dry this weekend with showers and thunderstorms returning early next week. Fire Weather Issued at 136pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 Scattered showers and storms will continue this afternoon across the area. Expect a decrease in coverage for the weekend as high pressure builds over the region. High dispersions will be possible each afternoon over southwest Georgia thanks to west to southwest transport winds around 10-15 mph and high mixing heigheights around 6,000 feet. While fire weather concerns are rather low given the abundant rain, heat concerns will increase through the weekend with highs well into the 90s and heat index values of 100-110. Hydrology Issued at 136pm EDT Fri July 18 2025 For this weekend, a drying trend takes hold as deep-layer ridging builds through the area. Moisture starts to return by Monday as a surface trough develops and breaks down the ridge. This will increase our rain chances into next week. The WPC has highlighted the northeast 1/3 of our region in a Marginal (1 of 4) risk for excessive rainfall on Monday. This risk expands to the entire CWA (County Warning Area) for Tuesday.
