LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Main Highlights This Period:

- Breezy conditions through end the week.

- Chilly conditions develop next weekend.

Chances for showers will increase on Thursday, ahead of the advancing cold front pressing in from out of the northwest. PWAT values will rise slightly prior to the frontal passage as more moist air from out of the gulf advects in, however lingering drier air over the area is expected to inhibit convective developments with isolated to scattered showers being more likely over northeast Florida. Breezy northwesterly winds will persist through the end of the week, with winds becoming more mild following the fropa.
Clearing skies and dry weather will be in place by the weekend as high pressure and cold dry air settles in over the forecast area.

AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
LIFR stratus/fog bank has spread into Coastal SE GA and the JAX Metro Area this morning and will continue to impact SSI as well as JAX/CRG/VQQ through sunrise this morning, but will likely fall short of reaching GNV/SGJ. Otherwise a slow lifting of these lower conds through 13-15Z, with VFR conds at all TAF sites after 15Z through the afternoon hours as NE winds increase to 7-11 knots with a few higher gusts at coastal TAF sites. Mainly high clouds this afternoon with a few FEW/SCT Cu clouds in the 3000-4000 ft range. Winds subside around sunset and expect another set-up for LIFR fog conds to develop in the 06-12Z time frame, with best chances at SSI along the SE GA coast and at JAX/CRG/VQQ overnight, then into GNV by sunrise late in the TAF period by the 09-12Z time frame.

MARINE

Winds will become light northeasterly this morning before high pressure building eastward in to the Carolinas elevates northeast winds to near caution levels this afternoon. Seas will also remain elevated, but just below Caution levels for the offshore waters through Monday. High pressure will then weaken over the southeastern states by Tuesday, allowing winds and seas to subside. Strong cold frontal passage on Thursday will bring offshore flow and Small Craft Advisory conditions, which will continue on Friday and Saturday.

Rip Currents:

High risk of Rip Currents Today for northeast Florida beaches, with moderate risk for southeast Georgia beaches due to lingering long period swells impacting the local beaches along with onshore flow.
Light winds and decreasing swells will keep Moderate Risk of Rips at both NE FL/SE GA beaches on Monday.

FIRE WEATHER
LOW MIN RH IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S INLAND SOUTHEAST GA - Monday Afternoon And Tuesday Afternoon

Conditions will trend drier through the weekend and into early next week with light to breezy northwesterly winds today gradually veering northeasterly through Sunday. Due to the lighter winds - both at the surface and the transport wind - poor dispersions are likely for the next several days. Though afternoon humidities will trend lower Monday and Tuesday, critical humidity is unlikely through the next week. After a brief rebound in temperatures and humidity through the middle of next week, another strong cold front will push through the area Friday bringing chilly conditions and breezy winds.

FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER WEATHER REMARKS: Initially patchy fog forming overnight and becoming more dense by the early morning hours today and Monday, with areas of dense fog expected to be more widespread on Monday.
