For our area…. Gulf and Liberty Counties are under a Tropical Storm Watch (conditions possible, but not likely). Franklin Co. Is under a Tropical Storm Warning (likely TS conditions) as well as a Hurricane Watch (Hurricane conditions possible). Elsewhere, little to no impacts in NWFL.

We all need to keep an eye out on this storm

07/31/2024

The tropical wave, broad in nature while still trying to fight off the omnipresent Saharan Dust, is making its way towards the Northern Antilles, moving WNW at approx.10-15 mph. Its effects should start to be felt starting tomorrow night in some areas of the Lesser Antilles moving into Wednesday and Thursday. While pretty much void of T-storm activity, convective spots have started to blossom ever so slightly on satellite imagery. No organization is expected due to its continuing liaison with the SAL as it moves through the initial island chain while scattered T-storms, rough seas, high surf on mainly northern facing coasts, and gusty winds will be on the menu at least through Thursday evening. Lingering effects will travel into Friday.

While the fight continues with the dust basically ahead of it based on satellite imagery, its steady advancement plus persistence will start to pay off near Haiti, stretching even to Jamaica, The Turks and Caicos, Cuba, the Bahamas, and parts of the Florida Peninsula eventually. Why?

The dust will finally be filtered out which has been the island's protector so far or this could have been a dangerous hurricane on approach. Moisture will return to the system allowing it to flourish, wind shear will be low to intermediate and SST's are around 87 degrees around the Bahamas/Florida. All ripe conditions. However, there are a couple of mitigating factors. The first is the mountainous terrain of PR, the DR, and Haiti. Any interaction with those mountains will surely be disruptive to a struggling system. The second is how broad in nature it is. This wave will definitely need some time, even over open water to consolidate.

Complicated. The forecast strength and track. Most ensembles have it curving no matter what its designation is, TD, TS, to the north and having a collision with the Carolinas. Then there are some which take a southerly route through the Florida Straits into the GOMEX where all bets are off at the moment. Once loose in the Gulf, it has to go somewhere for a landfall. A stronger organized system will normally move northerly while a weaker system will move more south to west. Remotely, RI (rapid intensification) is a possibility if it can get organized quickly before the Turks and Caicos. I did say remotely not impossible. So, many variables to contend with a wave not even looking like a threat yet.

Hurricane Hunters are currently scheduled to investigate on Thursday so hopefully more up close and personal detail from them will reveal this wave's true intentions.

..New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY...
NEAR TERM...
(Through Friday)
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

SPC mesoanalysis at 19Z shows PWAT ranging 1.9" in SE AL to 2.3" in
SE FL Big Bend. A weak surface trough is also present near the Flint
River Valley, with a decent cu field invof this feature and also
along the seabreeze boundary in the FL Panhandle, where convection
has initiated. This features also line up with deep moisture
convergence. Meanwhile, ML CAPE ranges from 1.5 to 2.5k J/kg across
the region. The main concern this afternoon and evening will be
heavy rain rates with the potential for localized flooding, given
tendency for activity to propagate eastward at only 5 to 10 kts.
Greatest potential for flooding will near the I-10 corridor in
FL into SW GA east of the Flint River, where CAMs show potential
for some 3-5" rainfall bullseyes. If this falls in a short period
of time, especially where it's more saturated from recent rains
and in the more urbanized areas, isolated flash flooding possible.
Given the saturated air mass with water loading of downdrafts and
decent low to mid-level lapse rates, some storms could produce wind
gusts in excess of 40 mph. Activity gradually diminishes around
sunset with some patchy fog possible overnight, with lows in the 70s.

On friday, drier air works into the column from the northwest with
PWAT falling to around 1.6" in SE AL but still around 2.3" in the
SE FL Big Bend, so quite a gradient in moisture across the region.
In addition to the seabreeze, a surface trough is progged invof the
I-10 corridor. These features will focus the highest PoPs in the FL
Counties and roughly into the southern tier of GA counties. Given
slow storm motions and ample instability, the main concern again
will be localized flooding in the aforementioned areas where it's
more more saturated from recent rains and in more urbanized areas.
CAMs support this with some higher rainfall maxima. Isolated flash
flooding cannot be ruled out. Highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

&&
SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

Weak ridging in the mid-levels will set up over the area Saturday,
but this will moreso contribute to slow, erratic storm motions
rather than convective suppression. With PWATs still in excess of
2 inches, expect scattered showers and storms over the waters and
near the coast during the overnight and morning hours, spreading
inland during the late morning and afternoon. DCAPE isn't
impressively high, so this will be more of a heavy rain threat
than a gusty wind threat. Given slow, erratic storm motions,
storms could produce a couple inches of rain in a short period of
time, which may lead to localized flooding of urban or poor
drainage areas. Given more cloud cover and higher rain chances,
highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with heat index values
of 100-105. Lows will be in the middle 70s.

&&
LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

A weak backdoor cold front may move into the I-75 corridor area or
miss us just to the east Sunday and Monday. If it makes it into
our area, then it may bring slightly lower rain chances behind the
front Sunday and Monday afternoons to the easternmost Georgia
counties. Otherwise, where the front doesn't make it, abundant
moisture remains with high rain chances continuing Sunday and
Monday. Again, with a highly moist atmosphere, locally heavy
rainfall remains the primary threat with the storms. By mid-week,
more ridging will build in to the area from the west, which will
help suppress rain chances somewhat. Abundant moisture remains in
place, but we may have a bit more capping thanks to the ridge.
Highs through next week will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s,
warming up slightly mid-week. Lows will remain in the mid 70s.

AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 137 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

SHRA/TSRA expected all terminals this aftn/eve associated with
MVFR cigs. Tonight, we've backed off on the potential for IFR
cigs at DHN and VLD given the latest trends in the guidance,
but have maintained some SCT cigs around 0.5k ft to indicate
the aforementioned trend. Winds generally around 5 kts, with
the exception of VRB10G20KT invof TSRA.

&&
MARINE...
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

Nocturnal showers and storms will continue each night and early
morning, diminishing in coverage during the afternoon hours.
Waterspouts and gusty winds cannot be ruled out with showers or
storms each night and morning. Generally light south to southwest
winds are expected into the weekend before becoming more variable
next week. Seas will only be around 1 to 2 feet through the
forecast period.

&&
FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

Showers and thunderstorms are likely each afternoon and evening,
especially in the FL Counties and over Southwest GA to the east of
the Flint River. Overall, chances for wetting rains above average.
The main fire weather concern will be potential for low dispersion,
mainly in the FL counties, in part due to aforementioned greater
chances for wetting rains. Expected erratic wind directions and
higher gusts in the vicinity of any thunderstorms. Temperatures
will be near July averages through the period.

&&
HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 332 PM EDT Thu Jul 25 2024

High PWATs around 2 to 2.2 inches will remain in place for much of
the area for the next several days. With slow, erratic storm
motions likely, storms could produce a quick couple inches of rain
in a short period of time. We're also starting to become
increasingly wet in terms of soil moisture given the wet pattern
as of late. Thus, any locally heavy rainfall could lead to
localized flooding in urban or poor drainage areas. The Weather
Prediction Center has our area outlined in a Marginal Risk of
excessive rainfall (level 1 of 4) each day for the next 5 days.

The Shoal River at Mossy Head is currently falling through action
stage and should be out of action stage late tonight. No other
rivers are currently anticipated to reach action stage.
