is largely on track.

.NEAR TERM...
(Through Wednesday)
Issued at 200 PM EDT Tue Jul 29 2025

Scattered to widespread showers and storms have quickly developed
this afternoon and activity should slowly drift inland through the
rest of the afternoon. This shower and storm activity should provide
relief to the widespread heat indices this afternoon. As the weak
surface trough, currently over the region, slides west on
Wednesday, expect the greatest shower and storm activity to shift
west with it. Drier mid-level air filtering into the region from
the southeast behind this surface trough will also aid in the
reduction of shower and storm chances across the Big Bend and into
southern Georgia.

As for the heat, much of the area will likely see another afternoon
of heat indices above 108, especially across the Florida Big Bend
and into southern Georgia where rain chances are lower on Wednesday.
Further west across the Panhandle and southeast Alabama, the risk
for hitting 108 is lower given the increased cloud cover and
higher potential for shower/storm development. However, even here
there is still the potential of hitting 108 for up to an hour
before activity begins to develop. With this in mind have kept
these locations under a heat advisory tomorrow, along with the
rest of our forecast area.

Wednesday/Thursday, rain chances will decrease some as drier
