.NEAR TERM...
(Through Thursday)
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Another heat advisory is in place for tomorrow afternoon, but with
increasing cloud cover as storms across SE Alabama and the FL
Panhandle get going, advisory conditions are expected to be confined
to our FL counties and first row of southern GA counties. Mid-level
dry air will be intruding across the eastern half of the region,
with the best PWATs across SE Alabama and the FL Panhandle
leading to the best chances for showers and storms being there.

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

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Heading into the weekend a cold front looks to dip down across the
Southeast as high pressure and the upper-level ridge breaks down.
Every day we`ll see increasing chances for showers and storms as
southerly flow advects moisture across the region, mixing out the
dry mid-level air we`re currently experiencing. PWATs look to be
around 2 to 2.5 inches leading to concerns of flash flooding over
areas that have seen continuous rainfall over the last few days or
areas with poor drainage. The front looks to sag Saturday into
Sunday which could lead to training storms, further enhancing
these concerns. By Monday the cold front moves on and PWATs drop
to 1.5 to 2 inches leading to more usual summertime convective
activity. The WPC maintains marginal and slight risks of excessive
rainfall this weekend. Daytime temps look to remain below
advisory level after this weekend.

Expect daytime highs to generally be in the 90s until Saturday, by
Sunday daytime highs look to dip into the upper 80s. Expect
overnight lows to generally remain in the mid 70s.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Scattered showers and storms will potentially affect area terminals,
mostly from TLH westward, for this afternoon. VFR conditions should
prevail but occasional MVFR/IFR visibilities are possible in the
stronger showers/storms. Shower/storm activity should diminish
around/after sunset. MVFR cigs at TLH/ABY/DHN can`t be ruled out
from 09-13z, but confidence was too low to mention as a prevailing
group in the TAF.

.MARINE...
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Westerly/southwesterly winds at around 10-15 kts can be expected
through the next few days with seas of 1-2 feet. Showers and
thunderstorms remain possible each day but are expected to become
more numerous as we head into next weekend.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Temperatures will continue to remain hot the next few days and that
will be the primary weather concern for folks outside through the
week. Rain chances will remain relatively low through Thursday as
drier mid-level air moves in. Fire concerns will remain low but
dispersions will begin to creep up over the next few days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 227 AM EDT Wed Jul 30 2025

Through the next 7 days, a wetter pattern is expected to move
over the region. Rainfall totaling 1-3 inches with locally higher
amounts are possible which could lead to isolated/nuisance
flooding issues. The WPC has placed our region in Marginal (1/4)
and Slight (2/4) risks for excessive rainfall for Friday through
Sunday. Local riverine flooding is not anticipated at this time.
