8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 108 AM EDT Mon Sep 28 2020
AVIATION. [Through 06Z Tuesday]
Best potential for restrictions due to heavy rainfall this morning will focus near SSI where a weak trough axis under passing upper level energy will converge through 12z. Across FL terminals, VCSH possible through the early morning hours with stratus and shallow ground fog restrictions of MVFR to IFR at times. Rainfall potential increases from the west toward GNV through mid-morning, with VCTS indicated by 14z. Rainfall potential increases in the afternoon and persists into the early evening for east coast terminals including VQQ as passing upper level energy overrides forcing along the east coast sea breeze and a low level trough axis. Convection will press offshore of the local Atlantic coast this evening with mostly dry conditions but lingering clouds through 06z with low stratus developing after 06z and potential restrictions.
PREV DISCUSSION [923 PM EDT].
Near Term. /through Monday/ .
At the surface, high pressure will be to the northeast Today, with a weak inverted trough extending northeast across region from the gulf. A moist onshore flow at the surface will result from this pattern. At 500mb, a trough will pivot east across forecast area this afternoon, with short wave energy accompanying this upper trough. The best upper energy over area through late afternoon. Expect coverage to increase through the afternoon, with a few strong storms possible. With the upper energy still moving through this evening, convective activity could linger to around midnight, with showers possible through the night.
High pressure will be centered to the northeast Monday, continuing the moist onshore flow in the low levels. At 500mb the region will be in the base of a broad upper trough, with weak waves moving through the flow, with the flow aloft from the west southwest. Convective potential will exist on Monday, but potential for storms less than Today. But, coverage of showers will still be numerous to widespread.
Temperatures will trend near normal this period.
Short Term. /Monday night through Thursday/ .
High pressure will move to the east Monday night as a strong cold front approaches from the northwest. While precipitation chances will be lower Monday night, can not rule out passing showers. For Tuesday, anticipating a round of strong storms to accompany the frontal passage, with a few severe storms possible. Current frontal timing would bring front into SE GA early Tuesday afternoon, then into NE FL in the late afternoon. Most of the convection will precede the front itself. The front will move southeast of the region Tuesday night.
High pressure will build from the west Wednesday, bringing winds from the northwest. Dewpoints in the 70s will be common Tuesday, but dewpoints will fall into the 50s for Wednesday, making the airmass feel much drier. Weak high pressure will stretch across the area Thursday, with mainly sunny skies expected, in a lower humidity airmass. Temperatures will trend below normal this period, especially on Wednesday.
Long Term. /Thursday night through Sunday/ .
A cold front will move southeast across forecast area Thursday night and Friday, but little moisture is associated with it, so a dry passage is expected. Strong high pressure will build to the northwest following this passage for Friday night. This high will build to the north over the weekend. A prolonged period of north to northeast flow will develop in this pattern. With a fairly tight pressure gradient, an enhanced flow anticipated along the coast. As a result could see minor coastal impacts affecting NE FL over the weekend.
Temperatures will trend below normal for this period.
Marine.
High pressure will be east northeast of the region through Monday. A strong cold front will move southeast across the area on Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. High pressure will build from the west on Wednesday. A weak cold front will move southeast through region Thursday night and Friday. Strong high pressure will build to the northwest Friday night. This high will then build to the north over the weekend. Rip Currents: SE GA: Moderate Today, Low Monday NE FL: Moderate through Monday
