AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 747 Pm Est Fri Dec 8 2023
Synopsis..
a few showers will continue to cross area waters overnight as a weak disturbance moves overhead. Otherwise, light southeasterly flow will continue through Saturday ahead of an approaching cold that pass over the waters Sunday night. Ahead of the front, southwesterly winds will strengthen and likely require small craft advisory headlines Sunday and possibly into Monday. Occasional gale force gusts offshore are also expected with the strong northwest winds following behind the front. Numerous showers and scattered Thunderstorms associated with the front will impact the waters Sunday evening. An initial area of high pressure will build from west and then to the north where it will intensify resulting in strengthening northeast winds through the latter half of next week.
Gulf stream..

UPDATE

For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
Main tweaks to the forecast this evening were with respect to POPs, as a more modest swath of showers than expected continues to move through northeast FL. However, a fair amount of this activity is struggling to reach the ground as the dry airmass slowly moderates. Any showers should move out of the area by early to mid morning, with generally more sunshine expected Saturday before our next cold front approaches Sunday. Some patchy fog is possible around early to mid morning near the vicinity of the I-95 and Saint Johns River towards the coasts.
NEAR TERM
(through Tonight)
For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
Tonight: Forecast remain on track. Slowly moistening airmass as S-SE flow at the surface will combine with SW flow in the mid/upper levels to continue a stream of mid/high clouds from the Gulf of Mexico across the region through tonight. Already seeing some weak radar returns over the NE Gulf indicating some Virga/Sprinkles as dry mid level pocket of air will slowly moisten into late this afternoon and allow for some light rain showers/sprinkles tonight across all of NE FL and into portions of SE GA near the FL/GA border. Measurable rainfall chances continue to trend around 20% or less, with only a few hundredths of an inch possible in some inland NE FL locations tonight. The abundant cloud cover will only allow for low temps to fall into the 50s inland and near 60F along the Atlantic Coast, and for the most part significant fog is not expected, although some short range models are suggesting some of the mid/high clouds start to clear around sunrise Saturday morning and with increasing dew points in the SE-S surface flow, this will set up some patchy fog potential from I-10 northward across SE GA in the 3am-9am time frame and have added this into the forecast grids, along with some low potential for patchy sea fog in the nearshore waters from Jacksonville northward to Brunswick.
SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
SAT
A moistening, southerly flow will be in place Sunday between a progressive low level and surface ridge to the east and an approaching cold front and supporting upper trough.
The southerly flow is likely to build patchy fog over portions of the area and coastal waters. Fog that develops over land should lift by an hour or two after sunrise Saturday, but confidence in the duration of any potential sea fog is low and it could linger well into the late morning.
Otherwise, as we await the encroaching cold front, wake subsidence behind the passing upper wave should keep conditions dry through Saturday. This warming flow regime will boost temps into the upper 70s and low 80s Saturday afternoon under partly sunny skies. The diurnal temp curve will be displaced, but early Sunday temps will be on the mild side with readings in the low 60s.
SUN
Widespread rainfall and potential for isolated severe t'storms is expected Sunday afternoon and evening as a convective line translates east-southeastward through the region. The wind threat will be the highest with the embedded storms along the line with gusts between 40-60 mph. Even outside of storm influence, gradient winds will strengthen and become breezy to locally windy with gusts between 25-35 mph.
The current SPC outlook paints a "Marginal" risk across the interior areas of southeast GA. Given the strengthening southeasterly flow, it's possible that better moisture/instability will funnel from NE GOMEX and across portions of northeast FL, specifically the lower Suwannee River Valley. There's potential for sufficient instability to push farther east across NE FL Sunday, which would enhance/expand the current risk of severe weather eastward. Please stay tuned for forecast updates through Saturday.
Additionally, PWAT will surge toward 1.8" which is more than sufficient for heavy rain and substantial rainfall rates with stronger embedded convection. There will be a threat of localized flooding across the region with the highest risk being inland along the I-10 corridor and through the Suwannee Valley where drainage/ditches are still partially filled from the severe weather event last weekend. Widespread rain amounts will be between 0.5-1.5 inches with pockets of 2-3" possible.
Temperatures will begin on the warm side but due the speed of the frontal passage, anticipate temps to rapidly decrease as cold air advection takes hold. From afternoon highs in the 70s, temps will crash into the upper 30s and low 40s in SE GA and into the low to mid 40s in NE FL by sunrise Monday. Post-frontal winds will make it feel much colder with wind chills in the upper 20s in SE GA and low/mid 30s in NE FL late Sunday night.
LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 206 PM EST Fri Dec 8 2023
Cold high pressure initially builds from the west behind the front Monday then tracks to the north through Tuesday. Another stronger high will supplant the original high by midweek resulting in strengthening onshore flow and windy conditions at the coast through the end of next week. As far as rain chances go, it appears that a coastal trough will form amid the strengthening flow which will increase convergence and shower chances along the immediate coast. Given the windy coastal conditions, typical coastal hazards (i.e. rip currents, high surf, dangerous boating conditions, and elevated tides) will be possible late next week and into next weekend. Temps rebound to near climo after the chilly Monday.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 637 PM EST Fri Dec 8 2023
VFR continues to prevail with mainly mid to high clouds across the area. Chances for light showers will continue through at least early Saturday Morning, with the best chances for this being at FL terminals. Any showers should be light and cause little effect on operations. Clouds are expected to break modestly near sunset, which could cause some fog around this time frame, especially from sites near I-10 and northward. IFR conditions are possible, however confidence is not high enough at this time to include any conditions lower than MVFR in the forecast. Overall lower cloud cover is expected through Saturday with VFR forecast to prevail.
MARINE
Southeasterly flow will continue through Saturday ahead of an approaching cold that pass over the waters Sunday night. Ahead of the front southwesterly winds will strengthen and likely require Small Craft Advisory headlines. Strong winds with occasional Gale force gusts offshore is also expected with the northwest winds following behind the front. Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms associated with the front will impact the waters Sunday evening. An initial area of high pressure will build from west and then to the north where it will intensify resulting in strengthening northeast winds through the latter half of next week.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk through the weekend.
