AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 912 Pm Edt Sun Jun 2 2024

Synopsis -
atlantic high pressure centered near bermuda will continue to extend its axis westward across our local waters while gradually weakening through midweek. This feature will keep a prevailing southeast to southerly flow across our local waters, with wind surges taking place during the late afternoon and evening hours. Only isolated showers and possibly a few Thunderstorms are expected to develop across our local waters early this week. The axis of atlantic high pressure will then shift south of our local waters late this week as a cold front pushes into the southeastern states. Prevailing west-southwesterly winds late this week could push scattered showers and Thunderstorms across our local waters ahead of this approaching front, which is slated to cross our region late Friday night or Saturday.

Gulf stream -

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 804 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

Periods of MVFR visibilities will be possible overnight at VQQ.
Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail at the regional terminals.
Brief periods of MVFR ceilings will be possible on Monday morning, with a brief shower possibly moving onshore from the Atlantic waters over the SSI and SGJ coastal terminals and the Duval County terminals, but confidence was only high enough to include vicinity showers at this time. Widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop along the inland moving Atlantic sea breeze boundary on Monday afternoon, mainly for locations along and west of the U.S. Highway 301 corridor after 17Z. This activity could impact GNV, but enough uncertainty with regards to coverage and intensity remains for nothing more than vicinity shower coverage to be included at the inland terminals at this time. Activity could linger around GNV past sunset on Monday evening, with VFR conditions otherwise expected to continue at the regional terminals. Southeasterly surface winds sustained around 10 knots early this evening will gradually diminish overnight. Southerly surface winds will then increase to around 5 knots after sunrise, followed by winds shifting to east- southeasterly and increasing to around 10 knots by 19Z.

NEAR TERM
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

Scattered showers and storms are anticipated for this afternoon and into this evening, initially forming along the I-75 corridor and developing eastward towards the I-95 corridor as stronger developments form along the diurnal sea breeze boundaries. High pressure off to the northeast will move further out into the Atlantic through today and tonight resulting in a more stagnant flow pattern for the beginning of the week. High temperatures today will rise up into the mid to upper 80s and potentially reach into the lower 90s for inland areas and over north central Florida. Overnight low temperatures will drop down into the mid to upper 60s for inland areas and in the lower 70s for areas along the coast.

SHORT TERM
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

Similar set up forecast for Monday and Tuesday as broad low level ridging builds across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico Monday and then shifts over Florida Tuesday creating a relatively stagnant flow. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s to lower 90s, with the east coast staying a bit cooler than inland with help from the sea breeze filling in both afternoons. PWATs will rise above 1.5", allowing for scattered to numerous showers area- wide, with higher chances for thunderstorms in the afternoons as sea breezes interact.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

The east coast will heat up Thursday as winds shift southwesterly, preventing the Atlantic sea breeze from filling in, highs along the immediate coast will be able to soar into the lower to mid 90s Thursday through the weekend. Apparent temperatures will be able to reach the upper 90s to lower 100s for most of NE FL. With increased moisture and diurnal heating, daily isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be able to fire up area- wide during this period. A front will be approaching from the northwest late this week, however there is still a lot of uncertainty with its track and impacts.

MARINE
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

High pressure will shift eastward towards Bermuda into the upcoming week with southeasterly flow continuing through early next week. Isolated storm chances will return over the local waters this afternoon and early evening hours. Winds will become more southerly by midweek and then southwesterly ahead of an approaching cold front by the end of the week.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents continues through Monday for all area beaches.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

Water levels are steadily receding along lower portions of the Santa Fe River near the gauge at Three Rivers Estates, but minor flooding will continue through most of the upcoming week due to backwater flooding effects from action level water levels along lower portions of the Suwannee River.
