Diurnally enhanced sea and river breeze convection was already popping across our SE FL counties, with west coast sea breeze convection nudging slowly inland toward Suwannee and Gilchrist counties, while a few airmass showers were developing near the FL I-10 corridor near a lingering surface boundary that extends generally W-E across the area.
Mid and high clouds continued to thin across NE FL from JAX to Gainesville, with convective temps rising to 88 deg shortly which will spark additional convection growth near low level boundaries.
The best instability, moisture and low level forcing will focus across interior NE FL during the mid to late afternoon, with slow storm motion and high PWAT contributing to the localized heavy rainfall potential and minor flood threat. Continue to expect generally 0.5 to 1 inch of rainfall in convection today, but localized amounts of 3-5 inches will be possible as evidenced over the past few days.
Satellite does show the sliver of drier air near the Ocmulgee River and Altamaha River basins limiting convective coverage and growth early this afternoon, however, there is a surface front just north across central GA noted in the visible satellite looping with a shear axis. Anticipate diurnal convection across SE GA will form into the afternoon, but with less coverage given the drier air trying to invade from the west and thus nudge rain chances downward to 30-50% through 00z. Given satellite trends, there could be a sea breeze and frontal boundary merger later into the evening toward the Altamaha River basin with resultant showers and storms drifting toward the Golden Isles, and thus maintained 40-50% rain chances 00z-04z for these zones. Given some drier air across SE GA, isolated stronger storms capable of wet downbursts and gusty winds of 40-50 mph will be possible.
Precipitation will slowly tapper off after sunset, but with slow westerly storm motion, stratiform rainfall and lingering debris clouds will be slow to depart, especially across NE FL. Mostly dry conditions are expected after midnight, with a low chance of mainly a coastal showers near the meandering frontal axis toward daybreak. Patchy inland fog and low stratus are expected, especially where heavy rain recently fell.
Temperatures will near 90 today (near to just below normal) with overnight lows in the low/mid 70s tonight (near normal values).
SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 114 PM EDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Pattern of diurnal bouts of showers and thunderstorms with stronger developments forming along the advancing sea breeze boundaries, outflow boundaries, and along areas of collision during the afternoon and evening hours will continue through the weekend. Moist southwesterly flow will have shifted to become more out of the north and northeast as remnants of the decaying dry frontal boundary to the north moves east and south over Atlantic waters and will act in altering the steering flow over the region.
Potential for slow moving storms producing heavy rainfall leading to localized flooding during this period with PWAT values expected to range between 1.9 and 2.4 inches during this period. High temperatures for the weekend will be in the lower to mid 90s for inland areas and in the upper 80s along the coast. Overnight low temperatures dropping down into the lower 70s. Heat index values will rise to be above 100 degrees during this period with a potential for heat advisory conditions on Sunday.
LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 114 PM EDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Steering flow is expected to to become less defined next week as high pressure over the Atlantic lifts off to the north. Daily bouts of convection will continue through this period with stronger developments expected to occur along sea breeze and outflow boundaries and along areas of collision. High temperatures for the beginning of next week will be close to the seasonal average with max temps reaching into the upper 80s and lower 90s.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 732 PM EDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Areas of RA are lingering around northeast FL terminals, which should dissipate over the next 1-2 hours. TSRA north of SSI as of 2330Z may drift southward towards the vicinity of the same terminal through about 01-02Z, though is expected to weaken over the next few hours. TEMPO for TSRA or at least SHRA will be possible however through the next few hours at SSI. VFR will then prevail for most sites overnight, though periods of MVFR are possible for VQQ and GNV, with IFR not fully ruled out as well.
Convection is likely to affect all terminals Saturday, with the sea breeze expected to move through all coastal sites. TEMPO groups with further timing and magnitude of impacts to be added as we get closer.
MARINE
Issued at 114 PM EDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Weak surface front will linger over the local waters today and Saturday with light southerly winds becoming onshore in the afternoon and evening with the east coast sea breeze. The front will shift south of the local waters late Sunday into Monday, with an increase in northeast winds as high pressure builds north of the region. The high will build east then southeast of the local waters through mid-week next week as surface fronts linger over Georgia, returning southerly winds over the local waters.
Rip Currents: Moderate rip current risk for all local beaches through the weekend.
