...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE NE FL THROUGH THIS EVENING...

NEAR TERM
Issued at 321 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf

A warm front remains draped across the I-10 corridor this afternoon. With the region between high pressure in the Atlantic and a shortwave trough digging into the southern Plains, deep layer south-southwesterly flow has ushered in warm, moist air across the FL peninsula. This has set-up an overrunning pattern across the area. Overrunning combined with passing shortwaves aloft have produced widespread showers with embedded storms that will spread eastward across the area through tonight. With NE FL in the warm sector, the best chance for thunderstorms will remain generally south of I-10. With ample instability (SBCAPE ~ 1500 J/kg), decent helicity and high shear, a few strong to severe storms will be possible as they propagate eastward along the frontal boundary and tap into the more unstable environment.
Stronger storms could produce damaging winds, heavy downpours, small hail and a brief landspout. Stable stratiform rain is expected to be dominant over SE GA but a stray storm is possible.
Continuous rainfall will lead to about an inch across far inland SE GA and Suwannee Valley with locally higher amounts possible.
Instability will wane with the loss of daytime heating but a few embedded thunderstorms will persist into the night. Along with showers, low stratus and patchy fog are expected to develop overnight. Overnight lows will be above seasonable in the mid to upper 60s.

SHORT TERM
(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 321 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

Sunday, the initial shortwave trough will rotate ENE from the mid south into the OH valley and help to push the surface cold front into the area. This will allow greater rainfall coverage to slide east into Jacksonville and the coast where scattered to numerous showers should arrive by the late morning to early afternoon hours.
There may be enough instability for isolated storms along and just ahead of the front in the afternoon, but with much of the shortwave energy and ascent will stay well to our north and cloudy skies and weak lapse rates should prohibit strong to severe storm potential. Uniform SW winds from the surface to the mid levels will also limit convergence along the front and showers should become less heavy through the day as they shift east. Surface winds will become southwesterly 10-15 mph as the front moves through the area, then turn westerly Sunday evening into early Monday morning. The Heaviest rainfall totals will be north and west of Jacksonville where totals of 1.0-1.5 inches will be common with a quarter to a half inch more common south and east of highway 301 by the end of Sunday. Highs will be warm with mid to upper 70s over most areas to near 80 along the St Johns river basin into Jacksonville.

Monday, low clouds will linger the first half of the day as the mid/upper trough deepens over the MS valley and allows low level SW to WSW flow to linger over the region before the trough swings through the deep south Monday afternoon and brings in drier air with surface high pressure building in from the WNW. High thin cirrus clouds will remain over the region as fast jet stream level winds remain along the gulf coast into Carolina low country. Cooler highs nearer to normal in the lower 70s over inland SE GA to the low/mid 70s over NE FL and the coast. Lows Monday morning will begin mild over NE FL in the low to mid 60s and cooler in the 50s over SE GA.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Saturday)
Issued at 321 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

A drier pattern will be in store this period as broad mid/upper level troughing east of the MS river will persist as deep ridging migrates slowly through the week form the upper Midwest into the east coast. Skies will become mostly sunny by Wednesday as a dry cold front arrives early in the day from the north with strong high pressure building in from the NW and settling into the deep south by Thursday morning and then over our area late Thursday into Friday morning. The high will shift to the east by Saturday. Winds will be breezy on Wednesday in the wake of the dry cold front and then lighten and turn variable through the end of the week, then easterly on Saturday.

Highs will be below normal Tuesday through Thursday, then warm to slightly below normal by Friday and then near normal on Saturday.
Lows will be below normal through the week, with a frost possible on Thursday morning away from the coast.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1219 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

TAF sites will bounce between LIFR and MVFR through 00Z before deteriorating overnight into prevailing IFR/LIFR. Low stratus has lingered across the NE FL TAF sites. Southerly flow will attempt to lift ceilings and visibilities through the day. A warm front draped across the I-10 corridor has led to mainly light and variable winds today. Showers with embedded storms will spread in from the west beginning between 19-22Z. Thunderstorm chances remain low and so have VCTS. Waves of rainfall will continue through the period. Ceilings and visibilities drop into IFR/LIFR due to fog, low stratus and showers overnight.

MARINE
Issued at 321 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

A warm front is draped across the coastal waters as its associated cold front moves southeast into the region. Warm, moist southerly flow has caused patchy to locally dense sea fog to develop along the nearshore waters and could continue into Sunday morning with visibility below 1 nautical mile. Otherwise, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected through the weekend. The cold front is expected to move across the coastal waters Sunday night turning winds to the west and northwest. Stronger northwest winds are expected by Monday night. A secondary front will move southeast across the area by mid week.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk today due to the seas of 3+ feet which yields breakers of at least 2-3 ft. Fairly similar conditions expected on Sunday.
