AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 403 Am Edt Wed Jul 3 2024
Synopsis -
prevailing winds have shifted to easterly as high pressure building over the mid-atlantic states Wedges down the southeastern seaboard. Showers and Thunderstorms will increase in coverage across our local waters along and south of a stalled frontal boundary through today. The frontal boundary will gradually dissipate over the georgia waters by Thursday, with prevailing onshore winds continuing as high pressure weakens off the eastern seaboard. Coverage of showers and Thunderstorms are expected to decrease across our local waters late this week through Saturday, with prevailing winds then shifting to southwesterly during the weekend ahead of the next weakening frontal boundary that will be entering the southeastern states.
Gulf stream -

Frontal boundary stalled over southeast Georgia will gradually weaken and diffuse today as surface high pressure off the mid- Atlantic coast extends southward. Prevailing flow will be predominantly out of the east today as upper level high pressure ridging over the southeast US moves further into the Atlantic.
Showers and storms will build in the afternoon with a potential for heavy rainfall as the moist air mass remains over the forecast area with PWATs measuring between 2.2 and 2.5 inches, with storms initially developing near I-95 and building inland as the afternoon progresses and then becoming more dispersed in the evening and overnight hours. High temperatures today will rise into the lower to mid 90s for inland areas and in the upper 80s and lower 90s along the coast. Overnight low temperatures are expected to drop down into the mid 70s for inland areas and in the upper 70s and lower 80s along the coast. Heat index values will rise to be above 100 degrees today for some areas but are not expected to reach Heat Advisory levels this afternoon.
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 400 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024
For Independence Day, weak and diffuse frontal boundary looks to be located near the FL/GA state line with low level convergence, PWATs near 2 inches, and west and east sea breezes pushing inland to support scattered to numerous showers and storms, with heaviest concentration/coverage at about 70 percent across inland northeast FL where the best low level forcing will be located. Drier air in the mid levels advecting in from the northeast will support lower coverage across portions of eastern GA. Highs in the lower 90s expected with heat indices generally 104-108, and so continues to suggest just shy of a widespread heat advy conditions. Main t-storm threats will be gusty winds and very heavy rainfall/localized flooding potential given the high moisture content and slow storm motion to the south to southwest.
Thursday night, sfc high pressure builds in from the northeast and east. Low level convergence inland and residual daytime instability will support isolated to scattered convection during the evening hours. Convective activity should fade by midnight. Lows continue from the mid 70s inland to upper 70s near the coast.
Friday, the frontal boundary is no longer noted in the guidance and general sfc high pressure ridge is over the region. Mid level ridge will be just west of the area, and mean deep layer winds are only about 5 knots. Best moisture is located inland with PWATS near 2 inches, and this is where we have the best rain chances at 40-60 percent, and tapering to 30-40 percent near the coast. West and east sea breezes, and daytime heating will be the main drivers of diurnal convection. Max temps will be inched 1-2 degrees given the greater daytime insolation. Friday night, some isolated inland convection is possible, but should fade quickly during the evening hours.
Lows in the mid to upper 70s expected.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 400 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Essentially little change in the thinking with the mid to upper level ridge over the southeast states initially for the weekend, and then shifts slightly south-southeast by Monday and Tuesday as some mid level troughing digs in AL and GA. Weak sfc ridge will be over the region through the weekend, and then build slightly on Monday and Tuesday while shifting more so into north central or central FL on Tuesday. We don't see much appreciable change in the moisture levels with PWATs of 1.8 to 2.2 inches and given the weak synoptic flow, sea breezes and daytime heating should lead to scattered to numerous shower and storm coverage each day, though some slightly drier air across the eastern zones may limit convection there. Max temps will be in the lower to mid 90s and with the dewpoints of mid 70s, occasional upper 70s, some heat advisory criteria will be possible in some locations each day. Lows mainly in the mid 70s are anticipated.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 152 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Lower ceilings for coastal sites and potentially affecting inland sites VQQ and GNV overnight and into the early morning hours with convection building in the afternoon building at around 18z in conjunction with the east coast sea breeze and then building inland. Winds will build from out of the east in the afternoon and then become more mild and variable Wednesday night.
MARINE
Issued at 400 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Prevailing winds have shifted to easterly as high pressure building over the Mid-Atlantic states wedges down the southeastern seaboard.
Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage across our local waters along and south of a stalled frontal boundary today.
The frontal boundary will gradually dissipate over the Georgia waters by Thursday, with prevailing onshore winds continuing as high pressure weakens off the eastern seaboard. Coverage of showers and thunderstorms are expected to decrease across our local waters late this week through Saturday, with prevailing winds then shifting to southwesterly during the weekend ahead of the next weakening frontal boundary that will be entering the southeastern states.
Rip Currents: Moderate Risk for beaches through Thursday given the slight increase in local waves/seas at the nearshore buoys.
