UPDATE
Issued at 900 PM EDT Sat May 4 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

Majority of daytime convection has weaned, with the exception of a few showers south of the Okefenokee Swap, one of which has produced a few lightning strikes. Expect these showers to dissipate over the next hour or so as they drift eastward.
Remnants of daytime convection could hold together over inland southeast GA overnight as another weak shortwave passes overhead aloft. Patchy to areas of fog will also be expected for some inland areas, especially over far western FL and GA counties where the most rain fell today.

NEAR TERM
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 4 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

Early to mid morning convection and cloud cover that pushed across the region has disrupted the usual diurnal convective cycle and has delayed the onset of sea breeze circulations this afternoon, but as enough partial sunshine pushes the temps into the 80s through the remainder of the afternoon hours, expect a resurgence of scattered to numerous showers and storms along old outflow boundaries and inland moving sea breeze through the early evening hours, with a few isolated strong storms possible over inland areas with gusty winds, but the overall main impact will be some locally heavy rainfall due to the slow storm movement and frequent lightning in some of the activity. With the late start to convection, expect activity to linger until around midnight as weakening storms become lingering shower activity and drift back towards the Atlantic Coast. Partly cloudy skies develop overnight with patchy fog development over inland areas, with locally dense fog possible where more significant rainfall fell today, most likely across inland SE GA towards sunrise Sunday morning. Low temps generally in the mid/upper 60s inland and lower 70s along the Atlantic Coast.

SHORT TERM
(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

Upper level high pressure ridge will build over the forecast area Sunday. Latest guidance indicates potential for scattered to numerous showers and t-storms along sea breezes during the afternoon. A weak shortwave trough passes N of forecast area Monday, leading to greater coverage of showers N of forecast area extending S across our s-ctrl GA counties, with lesser coverage further S. Temperatures during this period are expected to be slightly above normal, with highs in the mid-upper 80s inland, lower 80s immediate coast, with morning lows in the mid-upper 60s inland, near 70 coast.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Saturday)
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

A more substantial upper ridge builds over the forecast area during this period in response to an intense storm system over the central U.S. The latest guidance suggests this will be a drier and warmer period for forecast area, with well-above normal temperatures. By Wed-Fri, high temperatures will be in the lower- mid 90s, with morning lows in the upper 60s to around 70. Late Friday a cold front will move over s-ctrl GA introducing a chance of showers with slightly cooler temperatures there.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 123 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024

VFR conditions will prevail at most sites except at inland airfields, particularly in southeast GA where MVFR to IFR vsby conditions may develop by daybreak. Sea breeze will activate showers near the coast as early as 16z and progress inland with TSRA building with interactions along the St Johns river breeze.
Thunder impacts with IFR degradation and gusty outflow winds are possible at KJAX/KVQQ between 18z-22z and similarly at KGNV but vicinity storms may continue through 00z. Anticipate convection to wane during the evening hours Sunday with prevailing VFR conditions and winds at or below 10 knots.

MARINE
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

High pressure will remain anchored northeast of the local waters through the weekend. Afternoon sea breeze development will continue each afternoon for the next several days as high pressure re-positions further south, shifting winds toward a southerly direction early next week. Winds should trend offshore toward the end of next week as a cold front approaches from the northwest. No headlines are expected through the period.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents will continue through early next week as local sea breezes dominate the surf zone with breakers generally in the 1-2 ft range.
