  in effect through tonight, generally near and west of a Panama
  City to Ashburn line.

  concerns will be gusty downburst winds and dangerous lightning.

.SHORT TERM...
(This Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

The main concern through this period will remain the elevated
threat for excessive rainfall and flash flooding. A nearby front
and outflow boundaries will lift very moist air with PW well over
2 inches and result in high precipitation efficiencies.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

A return to a more typical summer pattern on Sunday with Monday
actually seeing below normal coverage of storms. Heat advisory
criteria is possible on Tuesday, mainly along and south of I-10.


&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

A cluster of showers and storms continues to barrel south through
southern Georgia and Alabama this afternoon. Have attempted to
time out the showers and storms at our TAF sites with the line
already having cleared KABY and KDHN, but have held onto some VCTS
at KDHN. The showers and storms are forecast to impact KVLD and
KTLH here in the next few hours with lesser confidence at KECP, so
have kept them VCTS at the moment. Amendments may be necessary
depending on how the cluster of showers/storms evolves.

Most of the showers and storms should diminish late this afternoon
or early evening. MVFR to perhaps IFR ceilings are forecast to
develop overnight into early Saturday morning. Some model guidance
suggests another round of showers and storms Saturday morning, so
have included PROB30s at most sites for that potential.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

Winds have decreased and seas have dropped below 5 feet.
Therefore, there will be no headlines with this forecast.
Generally west to southwest winds are expected through the period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

A very moist air mass will remain in place with additional wetting
rains almost a certainty before a little drying occurs on Sunday.
Given the moist air mass, abundant thunderstorms and wetting rain
are expected in most districts today and Saturday. Be ready for
strong thunderstorm wind gusts. Where storms repeatedly train over
the same place, be ready for flooding. Out of the next 7 days,
Monday and Tuesday will have the lowest thunderstorm coverage and
the warmest temperatures.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026

The main concerns through Saturday will be the elevated threat
for excessive rain and flash flooding (see above).

After Saturday, we return to a more typical summer risk, mainly
involving short-lived runoff issues beneath heavier storms.

As for the rivers, the Choctawhatchee at Bruce might get to minor
flood state next week.
