...ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE T'STORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS INLAND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA....
NEAR TERM
Issued at 322 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
Weak low level ridge of high pressure extends over the area from the ENE with mild temperatures in the mid upper 60s inland and low 70s along the coast. Some broken high clouds continue with SW flow in the mid levels around the heart of the mid level ridge near the Bahamas. Some clearing in this high cloud shield and low level moisture will allow for patchy fog away from the coast as our temperatures lower another 5 degrees through sunrise.
Similar to days past, a weak pressure pattern will generate local Atlantic seabreeze passage well inland in light southerly flow above the surface. An increase in moisture will pool from SE GA north to a stalled front along I-20 to the Outer Banks of NC.
A lobe of shortwave energy will cross south GA in the afternoon and help supply added lift in the local atmosphere as the Atlantic seabreeze moves through and initiates scattered T'storms in the mid to late afternoon hours. Cool mid level temperatures -13C to -15C will steepen lapse rates aloft to 6.5-7.0 C/km and create low level instability up to 1,500 J/kg. This will support a threat for isolated strong to severe T'storms capable of downburst wind gusts 40-60 mph along with potential for hail. Storm Prediction Center has a marginal risk of severe T'storms across SE GA for this afternoon with a 5% chance of severe wind gusts within 25 miles (neighborhood probability). Before sunset, a few isolated T'storms may develop as far south as I-10 west of Jacksonville.
Highs will be in the upper 80s along I-95 corridor and around 90 to the west with low 90s over north central FL, approaching near daily record highs (see climate section).
Convection will end after midnight tonight with light east to southeasterly winds 5-10 mph diminishing to under 5 mph inland.
Some locations may become calm with enough clearing overnight to support patchy fog away from the coastline, but not expecting dense fog. Lows will be in the low/mid 60s inland and milder to the upper 60s for the coastal communities.
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 322 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Seasonably warm conditions will persist through the short-term period, supporting daily chances for afternoon thunderstorms, especially across interior SE GA.
On Thursday, isolated showers may first develop early in the afternoon near a residual surface trough and leftover boundaries from Wednesday's convective episode. Convective coverage is expected to increase west of Waycross late in the day and into the evening as the Gulf and Atlantic sea breezes merge and interact with outflow boundaries pushed out by storms in SW GA. Isolated storms could become strong with additional lift offered by an incoming shortwave.
Meanwhile, convection over NE FL will likely remain limited due to a lack of mid-level moisture. The upper-level impulse crossing Georgia Thursday evening may sustain isolated shower activity through the late night hours across SE GA, although most areas will remain dry.
On Friday, forecast uncertainty increases regarding moisture placement aloft and thus convective coverage. Model guidance trends toward marginal moisture remaining in southeast Georgia, with only isolated storms expected north of Waycross. Northeast Florida will remain drier, with lower rain chances.
By Saturday, moisture availability will still be limited, but isolated showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two may develop—mainly along and north of the I-10 corridor as the sea breeze progresses inland. A weakening frontal boundary approaching the region late Saturday night may provide additional forcing for showers and storms, potentially into early Sunday morning.
Temperatures will continue to climb, with highs nearing daily record values—reaching the upper 80s to low 90s by Saturday afternoon.
Overnight lows will remain mild, generally in the low to mid-60s.
Patchy inland fog is possible each morning where skies clear overnight.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 322 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
A backdoor cold front associated with high pressure wedging down the Eastern Seaboard will slide into the region on Sunday, helping to pool moisture along the boundary and fueling scattered afternoon storms along the east coast sea breeze.
By Monday, lingering moisture will maintain isolated to scattered storm chances (20–30%) across the area. A drying trend will then take shape on Tuesday as cooler and drier air advects in from the Atlantic behind the departing front.
Temperatures will moderate behind the front, with inland highs falling into the low to mid-80s and coastal areas remaining in the upper 70s.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 148 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
MVFR fog developing after 07-08Z at VQQ and GNV with restrictions for IFR fog at GNV 08Z-11Z. VFR conditions will prevail after 12Z as the region will be between weak high pressure in the Atlantic and a stalled cold front to the north. Strong heating and weak pressure pattern will allow the Atlantic seabreeze to move onshore by midday and through the duval TAF sites through the early afternoon before encountering Gulf coast seabreeze just west of GNV.
Isolated to scattered T'storms will remain northwest of the sites this afternoon where additional lift, moisture across GA and instability from a disturbance aloft combine, but probability much too low near KSSI for any VCSH or VCTS. Strongest winds along SSI/SGJ 10-12 knots and 8-10 knots inland this afternoon behind seabreeze passage turning winds easterly. A few debris clouds may drift over SSI to end the period with winds diminishing to 5-8 knots from the southeast.
MARINE
Issued at 322 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Atlantic high pressure will remain to the northeast of the waters through the remainder of the week into Saturday with breezy south to southeast winds as daily seabreeze circulations develop each afternoon over the near shore waters. Sunday, a backdoor cold front will sink south across the waters from the north and shift south of the waters Monday with elevated northeast to east winds and building seas.
Rip Currents: A moderate risk of rip currents will be in effect for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia beaches today and Thursday due to the onshore winds and surf 2-3 feet. Stronger rip currents can form near piers and jetties. Always swim near a lifeguard.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 322 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Seasonably warm conditions will continue through the week, promoting daily inland progression of the Atlantic sea breeze. Isolated thunderstorms across southeast Georgia may produce strong, erratic outflow winds this afternoon. This general pattern continues through the end of week, with more limited thunderstorm potential Thursday and Friday. Dispersion values will be fair today, with locally high dispersion possible Thursday and Friday, especially across the Ocala National Forest due to increasing transport winds.
