Day 5 of Tallahassee, FL (KTLH)

Mostly cloudy skies dominate tonight into tomorrow. A strong easterly breeze and increasing moisture means that there will be little radiational cooling tonight, though it’s debatable if it will become completely overcast or not, which would make a difference of up to 3F for the low temperature. Mostly cloudy skies with a few breaks of sun will lead to a modest warmup tomorrow. It’s noteworthy that the highs have been warmer than model guidance even with mostly cloudy skies lately, and that could be the case again tomorrow. The daytime heating could lead to enough instability for a few showers, but most of the rain will be associated with the weakening and stalling out cold front that will be in the vicinity by the end (Wednesday 06z). It’s not clear if the cold front and associated storms will arrive by the end or will still be just to the west. HRRR shows the storms reaching KTLH earlier, but it tends to be too fast with cold fronts near the East Coast. Most likely, very little will fall before day 2 starts. With relatively limited daytime heating, low-level lapse rates, and instability, the strong southeasterly winds aloft will not mix down to the surface well, and the convection will not produce particularly strong winds. Instead, we’ll just see moderate southeasterly winds throughout the day.
