.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 152 AM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

A weak surface trough will be draped over the region this afternoon
with light west and southwesterly flow expected through the day. A
moist airmass is in place with PWATS ranging around 1.8 to 2.1
inches across the area, lowest across our southwest Georgia
counties.

Shower and storm coverage will continue to follow a mostly diurnal
pattern that we`ve seen in recent days with activity first starting
out over the marine zones and then gradually moving inland as
instability over land increases. With the surface trough in place,
and a weak gradient of lower PWATs across southwest GA, we`ll likely
see inland activity begin over our Florida counties and across
southeast AL before gradually pushing inland and developing across
southwest GA later in the afternoon. With the trough still in place,
activity will likely continue into the evening hours and possibly
into some of the early overnight hours across GA.

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 152 AM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

An upper level low is forecast to approach Florida from the east
Monday into Tuesday with a very moist airmass remaining in place
over the region. High pressure in the low to mid levels is forecast
to keep surface winds and steering flow fairly weak. With PWs
forecast to reach or exceed 2 inches early to mid week, expect
widespread to numerous showers and thunderstorms across the area
each day. Activity is forecast to generally follow the diurnal land
breeze/sea breeze cycle, with greater coverage over the waters and
near the coast overnight before spreading inland during the daytime.
This setup will likely persist for several days and has the
potential to rack up some impressive rainfall totals in the process.
The highest chance for these high rainfall totals and subsequent
flooding would generally be south of I-10 and along the coast. With
light steering flow overhead, storms that develop may not move much
and therefore could dump several inches of rain on a location at a
time. Repeat that process for several days in a row, and we could
end up with some 10+ inch rainfall totals near the coast into mid
week. North of I-10, scattered to widespread showers and storms are
still expected each day and will also pose a locally heavy rain
threat, although the chances for flooding appear a bit lower than
along the coast.

Mid to late week, a weak front is forecast to push into and
potentially through the area, temporarily providing an extra focus
for shower and thunderstorm development before ushering in a drier
(by summer standards) air mass in its wake. As such, Friday into the
weekend appears to be a bit more like a typical summertime setup
with daily showers and storms but not a total washout.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

VFR conditions are generally expected to prevail outside of any
showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Brief
periods of MVFR to IFR conditions could be possible in and/or
around showers and storms. Tonight, prior to daybreak, patchy fog
could impact terminals that see rain this afternoon and evening.
MVFR cigs are likely to move over ABY/DHN tonight as a low-level
cloud deck slowly erodes. By late tomorrow morning, VFR conditions
are expect to prevail before another round of showers and
thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 152 AM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

With high pressure to the south of our area, gentle to moderate west
to southwesterly breezes are expected for the next several days.
Showers and thunderstorms will remain likely through the period,
mainly in the overnight and morning hours, diminishing some during
the day except near the coast. Gusty winds, dangerous lightning,
and waterspouts will be possible in the stronger storms.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 152 AM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

A moist and wet pattern is likely through the next few days, and
possibly lasting into the middle of the upcoming week. Widespread
wetting rains are likely. This will keep fire weather concerns low
through the week.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 152 AM EDT Sun Jun 29 2025

Our most likely rainfall forecast over the next 7 days calls for
3 to 7 inches south of I-10 and about 1.5 to 4 inches north of
I-10. The heaviest totals will be closest to the coast. However,
the NBM probabilistic guidance suggests there is about a 10%
chance of double digit rainfall in localized spots south of I-10
through the next 7 days.

Storms over the next several days will be efficient rain producers
given the very moist environment. That in combination with some
possibility of training bands of storms could result in several
inches of rain within a short period of time. This could lead to an
increasing flash flood potential through the week as we get multiple
rounds of rain, saturating the ground. With the heaviest rain near
the coast, this should mitigate any river flood concerns, however.
