GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 401 Am Edt Mon May 6 2024
Synopsis -
continued favorable boating conditions expected into late this coming week with persistent south to southeast winds 15 knots or less and 2 to 3 feet seas. Daily seabreezes usher an onshore wind along the immediate nearshore waters. By Friday, a frontal system pushes into the region, bringing returning chances for showers and Thunderstorms. Winds and seas respond ahead of this feature by approaching cautionary levels out of the southwest. Northerly breezes at 15 to 20 knots then arrive in the front's wake on Saturday.

NEAR TERM
through Tonight...
Quiet conditions thus far as high clouds begin to increase ahead pf the upstream shortwave eastward across the Southeast today. Despite the high clouds, patchy fog development remains possible until daybreak across the Suwannee Valley and far inland areas of SE GA.
Diurnal heating will be initially delayed by cloud cover but highs will climb into the upper 80s and to near 90 once again today. This will yield sufficient daytime instability and support a mix of scattered showers and t'storms along the east and west coast sea breeze. Storm motions will be slow once again today, elevating the localized flood threat. The corridor of highest coverage of convection will be between the I-75 and Highway 301 roadways. A secondary focus will be along the St Johns River where sea breeze and river breeze interact. Potential for strong wind gusts up to 50 mph will also be possible with the more robust pulses - likely along merging outflows. Like the last several days, daytime convection will fizzle after sundown and fade away before midnight. Lows will generally be in the upper 60s but the coastline will likely hover near 70. Cloud cover will clear to the east and promote the potential for radiative cooling and patchy fog development Monday night across the Suwannee Valley.

SHORT TERM
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Convective developments will become more inhibited on Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure ridging dominates the weather pattern through midweek. Diurnal showers and storms developments for Tuesday and Wednesday will be most likely along the afternoon sea breeze boundaries and areas of convergence. High temperatures will reach up into the lower to mid 90s through midweek with overnight low temperatures dropping down into the mid to upper 60s over inland areas and in the lower 70s along the coast. Early morning patchy to locally dense fog developments are possible through this period, with areas west of the I-95 corridor as most likely to be affected.
LONG TERM
(Thursday through Sunday)
Initially dry weather conditions will give way to showers and thunderstorms by the end of the week as a short wave ahead of an advancing cold front moves into Georgia and northeast Florida.
Timing and positioning of frontal boundary for the weekend is showing some discrepancies between forecast models at this time.
Temperatures will rise into the mid 90s for the latter portion of the week with temps potentially reaching record seasonal levels before the weekend. Cooler temperatures are possible for Saturday and Sunday, depending on the placement of the cold front boundary.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 133 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024
VFR prevails through the overnight hours with the exception of KVQQ where the notorious "swamp" mist will develop as winds calm toward daybreak. Forecast mirrors yesterday's weather with scattered showers and storms forming along the afternoon sea breezes. Confidence is a bit lower than this time yesterday regarding timing, so opted for PROB mentions of TSRA at airfields west of I-95. Potential for showers to continue to drift back toward the east after 00z but TSRA potential is quite low. Winds will be initially SE, turning E with the sea breeze around 10 kts, then back to the SE during the evening.
MARINE
High pressure ridge will gradually shift south through midweek with offshore winds developing. Evening southerly wind surges with lead to cautionary conditions for small craft each night until a cold front arrives a passes Friday. Offshore winds will increase Friday ahead of a frontal passage Friday night into Saturday. Brief period of strong winds in the wake of the front may require Small Craft Advisory headlines Friday night into Saturday.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk at area beaches through Tuesday. Risk will lower as winds shift offshore Wednesday and Thursday.
