...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 745 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

PoPs and temps were adjusted based on current radar trends and the
cold pool in the wake of earlier convection. Much of the showers
and thunderstorms will dissipate over the next couple of hours
with the main concerns being gusty winds, frequent lightning, and
small hail.

&&

.NEAR TERM...
(Through Friday)
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

A fairly routine near term is on tap, low-level southerly flow will
reestablish allowing the sea breeze to push fairly deep inland
tomorrow afternoon. An upper-level low will continue to meander
gradually northeastward throughout Friday while adding some
additional forcing for ascent. This will allow us to see more
convective coverage tomorrow, beginning closer to noon rather than
late afternoon as we`ve been experiencing the last few days. Heavy
downpours and gusty winds are possible with any thunderstorms
tomorrow afternoon.

Expect daytime highs generally in the low to mid 90s with overnight
lows generally in the low to mid 70s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

The upper low will remain largely in place across the Southeast
through the short term period. With sufficient deep layer moisture
in place, this will create an environment that leads to above
normal PoPs, especially during the daytime hours with diurnally
driven convection. The operational NBM PoPs were used and while
these are higher than the GFS-based statistical guidance, the
overall environmental setup seems quite favorable to the N-S PoP
gradient presented in the NBM. While convective activity from
Friday may influence trends on Saturday, the overall pattern does
seem to support higher end PoPs than the GFS-based statistical
guidance baseline.

With all the expected convective activity, this will limit Marts
to the lower 90s, which will provide relief from the recent
stretch of much above normal temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

Though the upper low across the Southeast will gradually weaken
and lose definition, it`ll be replaced with a longwave trough
across the Eastern CONUS as a ridge amplifies across the Four
Corners region out west by the end of the period. This will lead
to an extended period of southwesterly flow which is often quite
favorable for widespread convective activity and thus the higher
PoPs in the forecast that are 15-30 percent above climatology.
Note that southwesterly flow days, especially those later in the
period that have mean 1000-700 mb flow in excess of 10 kt tend to
feature earlier starts to convective initiation due to faster
inland penetration of the sea breeze fronts.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 705 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

Showers and storms continue to move west across the region, so
have included some TEMPO groups and KTLH and KVLD to account for
this. There`s lower confidence in the line making it to KDHN, so
have left TSRA out of the TAFs for now, but amendments may be
necessary if it looks like the line will hold; if it does, it
could be near KDHN by 0230Z to 03Z or so.

Otherwise, VFR conditions are forecast to prevail tonight with a
southwesterly to southerly breeze across the TAF sites. Another
round of afternoon showers and storms are forecast again Friday
afternoon. Have included some VCTS at all TAF sites and attempted
to provide a 4 to 5 hour window for the best chances this far out.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

A high pressure ridge over the waters today will drift south of
the waters on Friday. On its north side, gentle to occasionally
moderate southwest and west breezes will develop on Friday and
continue through Monday. Otherwise, thunderstorm coverage will be
abundant at times, especially during the late night and morning
hours, bringing the threat of lightning, gusty winds, and
waterspouts.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

The air mass will become a little more moist each day through this
weekend into next week, and a weak area of low pressure will pinch
off and sit over Georgia starting Friday. This will set up a
pattern full of summer thunderstorms and pockets of heavy rain
over the next several days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 226 PM EDT Thu Jun 26 2025

Widespread rainfall over the next several days is expected to add
up to 4-5 inches of rain across portions of North Florida with
lesser amounts up into Georgia. Of course, this is over a broad
area, as localized amounts could be much heavier. In this sort of
wet pattern, individual thunderstorms could lead to flash
flooding, especially in urban environments given the high rainfall
rates. River flooding, however, is not expected.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always
encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they
occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee.
