NEAR TERM
Issued at 331 PM EDT Mon May 6 2024

For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf

A healthy cumulus field has developed with a few showers popping along Atlantic sea breeze over northeast FL coastal counties with a couple of showers also over eastern Marion, Putnam, and soon to be Clay county. Sfc flow is light southerly over inland areas and southeast at the coast from the sea breeze. Instability is climbing, with recent analysis showing about 1000-1500 MLCAPE and PWATs are about 1.5 to 1.7 inches, a bit above the average.
The forecast continues to show increasing chances of showers and storms rest of today into the evening, with the favored area inland areas. Minor adjustments were made to increase POPS slightly by the evening hours, as the delayed onset of convection so far will likely lead to convection continuing well into the evening before dissipating by about midnight or 1 AM. The shortwave that is moving across later this aftn and evening will also be supportive of the expected scattered convection. Main threats continues to be strong gusty outflow winds and heavy rainfall. Small hail is possible too given 500 mb temps are cooling off to about -10C. After convection is done late tonight, patchy fog will be possible over the western zones as winds become light and variable and clouds clear out to the east. Lows expected in the mid to upper 60s tonight.

SHORT TERM
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 331 PM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Tuesday, patchy fog expected over the western most counties along and west of US441 in SE GA and west of I-75 in NE FL with lows above normal in the mid to upper 60s inland and upper 60s to around 70 at coast. Low level ridge axis will shift south to central FL with light SW winds 8-12 mph and little higher behind the pinned Atlantic seabreeze staying east of I-95 to 10-15 mph. Less moisture compared to Monday will yield limited chances for showers and T'storms expected with only isolated storms possible east of US17 corridor. With mostly sunny skies, highs will be warmer into the lower 90s for most with mid to upper 80s along the coast.

Wednesday, similar above normal lows compared to Tuesday morning with patchy fog west of US-17 towards the Suwannee valley due to light south to SW light winds from the Gulf boosting low level moisture under mostly clear skies. With low level ridge axis over south FL, highs will rise well above normal as southwest winds 8-12 mph pin the Atlantic seabreeze to along the beaches with hot conditions reaching the mid 90s along US-17/I-95 corridors Wednesday and challenging daily record high values.

Similar conditions expected Thursday, albeit breezier as cold front moves into the deep south with SW flow pinning Atlantic seabreeze and providing little relief. Heat index values will peak around 100 degrees as dewpoints mix down into the upper 60s in the breezy flow. Some convection may arrive late Thursday afternoon and evening from central GA ahead of the approaching cold front with a risk for strong to even isolated severe storms that may bring a threat for gusty winds from Waycross/US82 areas north to the Altamaha river basin late Thursday. Dry conditions will remain elsewhere with highs reaching the mid 90s with isolated upper 90s along the I-95 and US-17 corridors.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 331 PM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Friday, a more potent mid to upper level trough will swing ESE from the mid MS valley to the southern Appalachians and support the eastward progression of a surface cold front into the lower deep south into the FL Gulf coast. Enhanced low and mid level flow ahead of the front will boost moisture to above normal levels with shortwave energy and the unstable airmass spurring scattered to numerous coverage of showers and T'storms. Isolated severe storms will be possible with a threat for gusty winds. Increased clouds will limit highs into the mid to upper 80s over much of SE GA and towards Suwannee valley with low 90s over the I-95 corridor of NE FL ahead of the front where less clouds and lower showers and T'storm coverage expected until later in the afternoon.
Morning lows will be muggier in the low 70s.

Saturday, the cold front will sink from NE FL to central FL with more confidence between the ECMWF and the GFS models on pressing the front south of the area by afternoon. Therefore, only showing isolated showers in the forecast with a few T'Storms possible over southern most counties of north central FL. Weak ridging aloft will move in the wake of a departing trough from the mid MS valley into the southern Appalachians and allow weak high pressure to shift from central plains to the Gulf coast with lower dewpoints in the 50s and west to NW winds along and behind the front with a drop in high temperatures with low 80s over SE GA into interior NE FL ranging into the upper 80s over the St Johns river basin and north central FL. Lows Saturday will be in the upper 50s/low 60s NW of Jacksonville and mid to upper 60s closer to the NE FL coast and north central FL.

Sunday, next upstream mid to upper level trough pinwheels into the Ohio Valley. Both GFS and ECMWF models hold off the next wave of low pressure from arriving until late Sunday night into Monday with potential for heavier rain showers and some embedded strong to severe storms and low level flow once again becomes enhanced.
Will limit coverage of showers and storms to areas south of I-10 for Sunday and then steadily raise coverage to scattered chances through Monday afternoon. Winds will be light from the WNW Sunday and become variable on Monday depending on the exact track of the wave of low pressure. Highs Sunday will be similar to Saturday with low 80s over SE GA and mid to upper 80s over much of NE FL, then cooler Monday with low 80s area wide due to more clouds and shower potential. Cooler lows in the upper 50s inland expected with low 60s closer to the coast to end the weekend.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Tue May 7 2024

VFR conditions overnight and into the early afternoon with early morning fog development expected to be west of GNV. Potential for diurnal convection with the east coast sea breeze this afternoon, affecting coastal sites and the Jax metro area between about 20z-00z. Winds will be primarily out of the SW through the forecast period.|

MARINE
Issued at 331 PM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Breezy south winds expected tonight that may near exercise caution criteria for a brief time but mainly around solid 15 kt, before diminishing to 10-15 kt after 06z. Combined seas near 2-4 ft. A near repeat of basic wind dir and speeds anticipated on Tuesday, and likely for Wed and Thu as the high pressure ridge remains well to the east of the area supporting a decent pressure gradient.
Winds up to 15-20 kt will be possible by late afternoon and well into the evening, with increasing chances of this by Thu and Fri as a frontal boundary approaches from the northwest. Increased chance of offshore moving t-storms by Friday in association with the frontal boundary. The front looks to pass through the area by Saturday morning, with wind flow becoming northwest to north behind the front.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk at area beaches through Tuesday and probably Wed with little overall change anticipated at this time based on surf near the 2-3 ft range.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 331 PM EDT Mon May 6 2024

High pressure extends from the western Atlantic over the area with light southerly flow 5-10 mph through sunset. Atlantic seabreeze will bring southeast winds 10-15 mph inland to US-17, then towards US 301 before merging with the southwesterly Gulf seabreeze. Scattered storms will result along US301 and I-75 over Florida and from US-1 to US441 over Georgia with gusty winds 40-50 mph, locally heavy downpours, and rainfall amounts up to 2 inches in isolated spots. Southwest winds prevail Wednesday pining the Atlantic seabreeze east of I-95 with isolated storms expected east of US17 to the coast. Drier conditions in store Wednesday with hotter temperatures rising to the mid 90s with lower Min RH values, but still above critical values. Hot and dry weather conditions persist into Thursday except for late day scattered showers/storms over Georgia. High dispersions due to increasing southwest transport winds expected Tuesday and also Wednesday. Next cold front arrives on Friday with a threat for isolated severe storms.
