AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 201 Pm Edt Tue Apr 30 2024
Synopsis -
high pressure centered off east coast will shift eastward rest of today as a weakening frontal boundary enters the southeastern states. South to southeast winds prevail this morning with a coastal surge in the afternoon as the atlantic sea breeze shifts inland. Isolated showers and Thunderstorms may develop over our local waters today into Wednesday as the dissipating frontal boundary moves over our area. Another high pressure center will then build over coastal new england late this week, resulting in onshore winds redeveloping over our local waters. A cold front is then expected to enter the southeast states by Saturday night and Sunday, possibly bringing a chance of showers and Thunderstorms to our region by late in the upcoming weekend.
Gulf stream -

Shortwave trough extending well to the north and across our area will shift eastward this afternoon and push offshore by late evening. In it's wake, a northwest flow aloft and some diminished upper level clouds expected after midnight. As previously mentioned, the flow today is weak enough for both the west coast and east coast sea breezes to move inland this afternoon, and adequate low level moisture to spark isolated, generally weak convection.
Some enhanced scattered convection, though relatively weak, can be expected mainly across southeast GA and a narrow corridor close to the St Johns River Basin. Expect most convection to dissipate shortly after midnight. Some patchy to areas of fog can be expected late tonight, with the higher confidence of fog across northeast FL. Lows tonight will be mild again in the mid to upper 60s.
SHORT TERM
(Wednesday through Thursday night)
Issued at 207 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024
The early morning fog will begin to lift a couple of hours after sunrise on Wednesday. Clear skies will then prevail from mid morning to the afternoon. Shower and storm chances will again make a return from the afternoon to early evening hours as the Gulf and Atlantic seabreeze move inland, with showers and storms beginning to clear as the night progresses.
A clear start to the day on Thursday with another chance for shower and storm activity beginning during the afternoon hours as the Gulf and Atlantic seabreezes move inland. Most activity will likely be along the I-75 corridor and eastward to US-301 in north central FL, as a dry airmass begins to moves into SE GA through the day on Thursday.
Daytime temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday will range in the mid to upper 80s, with some areas on Thursday passing the 90F mark for locations along the I-75 corridor in NE FL and SE GA.
Overnight, temperatures will dip to the around the mid 60s, with warmer temperatures along the St. Johns River and coastal locations.
LONG TERM
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 207 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024
With the a dry airmass in place over the area, dry conditions are expected on Friday. By Saturday, shower/storm chances will spread from SE GA and southward into NE FL as the first of two shortwaves begin to move across the southeastern CONUS. On Sunday the second shortwave will move over the eastern CONUS, again seeing the shower/storm chances spreading from north to south as the day progresses. A dry start to the upcoming week as ridging aloft will keep chances of precipitation at a minimal.
Inland temperatures will get into the lower 90s while coastal areas will benefit from the onshore flow, keeping temperatures in the low to upper 80s. This weekend will have daytime temperatures mainly in the upper 80s before temperatures rise into the lower 90s across the area at the start of the upcoming week. Overnight lows during this period will remain mainly in the mid to upper 60s.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 130 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024
VFR cigs at this time. Given the low level moisture, forcing aloft, and sea breeze boundaries we are seeing a few showers develop over northeast FL, and may not be out of the question a weak brief t-storm forms near the northeast FL TAF sites through 00z. Not enough confidence for a TEMPO group at this time for any MVFR or lower condition. If any t-storm forms, would be relatively weak.
Isolated showers and t-storm chances should be diminishing fairly quickly after about 01z-03z with skies tending to clear more later tonight just in time for some patchy-areas fog to form. Have continued to advertise MVFR and possible IFR or less at JAX, GNV, CRG, and VQQ from about 06z-13z. The fog should dissipate by 13z-14z.
MARINE
Issued at 207 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024
High pressure centered well off the east is giving a moderate southeast flow over the area waters rest of today, with flow turning more south tonight. Another high pressure center will then build over coastal New England later this week, resulting in onshore winds redeveloping over our local waters. A cold front is then expected to enter the southeast states by Saturday night and Sunday, possibly bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms to our region by late in the upcoming weekend.
Rip Currents: Moderate to high risk of rip currents expected through tonight with the fairly breezy onshore flow and surf of 2-4 ft.
Moderate to high risk for Wednesday, with the more enhance risk again for northeast FL beaches though winds will be lighter.
