Hot and sunny day today with upper ridging and dry west- northwesterly flow. The Atlantic sea breeze will struggle to shift inland allowing temperatures to soar into the low 90s even all the way to the coast. Light southwesterly flow develops tonight ahead of an approaching cold front moving into the Deep South gradually increasing moisture. Calming winds and slight increase in low level moisture will lead to potential patchy fog developing along the I-75 corridor during the pre- dawn hours. Overnight lows will be in the mid/upper 60s to around 70.
SHORT TERM
(Friday through Saturday night)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Thu May 16 2024
Southwesterly flow and a lifting warm front will increase moisture levels across NE FL and SE GA, but not enough to promote more than scattered showers and thunderstorms inland on Friday afternoon and evening. High temperatures will be near normal in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Precipitation chances will increase on Saturday as the frontal system approaches slowly from the northwest. Daytime heating ahead of the front will allow temperatures to soar into the lower to mid 90s for much of NE FL, including the beaches since elevated SW winds will keep the Atlantic sea breeze pinned to the coast. Heat indices across most of NE FL will rise to or above 100 degrees.
Numerous showers with embedded thunderstorms will be present across the area, with potential for strong to isolated severe thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon due to diurnal heating. The slow movement of the front will allow for a locally heavy rainfall threat causing flooding concerns, mainly for SE GA and the Suwannee valley given already saturated soils from the past few days.
LONG TERM
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Thu May 16 2024
The front will sit over central Florida through the day Sunday, keeping numerous showers and thunderstorms in the forecast the evening, although there remains some uncertainty in the timing of the front's exit from the region. Temperatures Sunday will be slightly 'cooler' behind the front, with highs in the mid 80s to near 90.
Steering flow will shift northerly at the start of the work week, allowing drier conditions to move into the area, and even cooler high temperatures on Monday with highs in the upper 70s to upper 80s. Scattered rain and thunderstorms will remain possible on Monday afternoon and evening across NE FL and SE GA, by Tuesday isolated rain chances will be limited to north central Florida.
Temperatures will be on an upward trend through the week, with Wednesday looking rain-free for the area before isolated chances return Thursday as another front approaches from the north.
