AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 137 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
VFR conditions will prevail at the regional terminals. North- northwesterly surface winds will become sustained at 5-10 knots overnight at the regional terminals. Surface winds will then shift to north-northeasterly shortly after sunrise, with speeds increasing to 10-15 knots and gusty by 15Z. Winds will shift to easterly during the afternoon hours, with speeds diminishing to around 10 knots by 20Z. Surface winds will then quickly diminish towards sunset as thin cirrus clouds begin to drift overhead.
UPDATE
Issued at 832 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The pesky thunderstorm that moved across a portion of southeast GA coast and First Coast this afternoon and evening is slowly weakening as of 830 PM, and expected to dissipate over the next 1- 2 hours. Otherwise, no major changes to the forecast as cool and dry advection will continue across the area tonight. Expecting lows generally in the 40s for the interior and low to mid 50s from the St. Johns River towards the coast and for far southern areas.
NEAR TERM
Issued at 147 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
As an upper trough passes over the region this afternoon, there is a slight chance for a shower to develop during the mid to late afternoon hours, with that chance ending in the evening as the system moves offshore.
Otherwise, the cloudiness over the eastern counties will gradually decrease during the remainder of the day, with mostly clear skies expected over the forecast area Tonight, as high pressure gradually builds toward the forecast area from the west. Winds will become light during the evening. Current low temperature forecast Tonight looks good, with mid 40s across inland se GA, 45-50 for inland ne FL, and lower 50s immediate coast.
SHORT TERM
(Friday through Sunday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
High pressure will settle overhead during the day on Friday. With subsidence under the high, clear skies are expected. Temperatures will be a little below normal though due to weak cold advection following Todays frontal passage. The coolest readings will be near the coast, due to flow across the relatively cooler coastal waters.
Water temps along the coast are still running in the 60s.
The high will build more toward the east southeast Friday night through Sunday, with ridging remaining across region. With the ridge more to the east southeast, the flow will come more from the southwest over the weekend. This flow will allow for more passing clouds, and moderating temperatures. After another below normal night Friday night, readings will be above normal for Saturday through Sunday.
LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The high will slowly drift to the southeast through Tuesday, with ridge still extending over region. A cold front will approach from the northwest Tuesday, with clouds increasing ahead of it. Sunday night through Tuesday will remain dry with a gradual increase in cloud cover. Temperatures will continue to run above normal, with Tuesday being the warmest day with strong southwest flow keeping the sea breeze pinned offshore. A few locations over eastern portions of NE FL could touch 90 on Tuesday. Looking back, the last time JAX reached 90 was on 9/25/23. Had a pair of 88 degree days this month. So, if it makes it to 90 Tuesday, will be first time in over 6 months.
Current model timing brings the cold front into inland areas during the night Tuesday night, with precipitation chances extending across the forecast area. The front will then move southeast of area Wednesday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to accompany the frontal passage. While much of the better support will be further north, closer to low center, can not rule out potential for strong to severe storms, especially if stronger upper waves pass through the base of accompanying upper trough. Wednesday will be a transition day as far as temperatures, as it may still be an above normal day depending on frontal timing, but will usher in a period of cooler than normal days.
High pressure will build to the northwest Wednesday night through Thursday, with the region drying out. Temperatures will trend a little below normal Thursday.
MARINE
Issued at 147 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A wave of low pressure near the Carolina coast Today will move further away from our area Friday while high pressure builds in from the west.
The pressure gradient between these features will keep winds in the caution range nearshore, and advisory level offshore through Tonight.
As the high builds over the waters Friday into the Weekend, the gradient will substantially weaken, resulting in lighter winds and lower seas.
Winds will become more southwesterly Sunday and Monday as the high moves east of the waters.
Rip Currents: Moderate to High through this afternoon, Moderate Friday.
