GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 907 Pm Edt Tue Oct 3 2023
Synopsis..
our marine zones will remain under the influence of the area of high pressure over most of the eastern us for the next couple days. Winds are expected to freshen this evening possibly reaching 20kts, prompting the reissuance of a small craft advisory for the majority of our marine zones. Seas outside of apalachee bay will range from 3-5ft with winds out of the northeast. On Saturday, a cold front will clock winds to northerly with post-frontal winds approaching advisory criteria Saturday evening into Sunday morning.

New AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 840 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
No major changes to the forecast as breezy Northeast steering flow will continue to bring widely scattered showers onshore into the NE FL coastal counties through the night that will weaken and become isolated by the time they reach the St. Johns River Basin.
Minor coastal flooding will remain possible during times of high tide, mainly in the St. Johns River Basin through Wednesday. Temps will remain mild with lows in the 60s inland and 70s along the coast with highs into the middle 80s inland and lower 80s along the coast. Shower activity will contain wind gusts to 30-35 mph at the reach the Atlantic Coast. Pockets of Haze will continue across all of NE FL/SE GA with vsbys of 3-5 miles at times through Wednesday with some Air quality issues continuing.
SYNOPSIS
Issued at 420 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
Onshore flow continues with surface high pres 1025 mb over the Carolinas. Mid levels show blocking pattern with high pressure over the northeastern U.S. and troughing from the Atlantic near Bermuda to the Bahamas. Weak mid/upper level low pressure was over the SC area. Moisture levels per JAX sounding have dropped over the past couple of days with PWATS under 1 inch, but satellite imagery shows areas of enhanced moisture over the western Atlantic over 1 inch to the southeast of SC and east of north central FL. Meanwhile onshore flow continues at 15-20 mph and gusty at the coast, with hazy skies from smoke that has traveled from far eastern Canada around the periphery of mean high pressure system. We expect the milky type skies due mostly to the smoke to linger into Wednesday. Later in the week, a cold front will sweep through the area with cooler temperatures and drier air leading into the weekend and early next week.
NEAR TERM
(Through Tonight)
Issued at 420 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
The combination of moisture advection from the Atlantic and the upper level lows and troughing acting on the region will result in a little better chance of showers both over the coastal waters and the coastal land zones. Will go above the NBM POP guidance, especially at the coast. Will carry the smoke/haze in the forecast overnight.
Lows will also trend up compared to the past 2 nights due to added moisture/clouds and the breezy winds at times. Lows mainly in the 60s to around 70-72 tonight. Breezy northeast winds will continue along the coast.
SHORT TERM
(Wednesday through Thursday night)
Issued at 420 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
A few changes occur this period as the blocking high to the north breaks down and moves east while the mid level trough and low pressure system over the western Atlantic moves to near the region.
Increased low level troughing and convergence occurs over the western Atlantic and will usher in additional chances of showers and possibly a few t-storms to the coastal waters and coastal land zones. The showers may move to at least the Highway 301 on Wednesday and possible again on Thursday. The basic pattern changes Thursday- Thursday night as high pres to the north lifts out and pre-frontal trough approaches from the northwest, ahead of a cold front. The surface winds will back more to the north late Thursday night so our chance for showers may diminish given the onshore flow will be abating. Breezy northeast winds are expected Wednesday and again lower speeds on Thursday as the pressure gradient weakens. Similar temps again Wed and Thu with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s to around 70.
LONG TERM
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 420 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
Weak inverted troughing will continue offshore on Friday while pre- frontal troughing moves into the area, but forcing for synoptic ascent is fairly weak. A small chance for showers and possible thunderstorm on Friday and for now we show 10-20 percent chances mainly eastern most zones and area waters. A strong mid to upper level trough will move into the southeast states Friday night and Saturday forcing a relatively strong cold front across our area late Friday night, and usher in a colder and drier airmass for the weekend and early next week. The colder air does lag a bit and so the sensible cooler air won't arrive until Sunday morning when lows are expected in the 50s, and highs on Sunday mostly in the 70s, with the temps unseasonably cool for this time of year. Surface high pressure builds into the area from Sunday through Tuesday with PWATs under 1 inch. The cool airmass will result in lows from the upper 40s to lower to mid 50s and highs in the 70s to around 80.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 119 AM EDT Wed Oct 4 2023
Widespread MVFR VSBYS in Haze (HZ) and brief MVFR ceilings will continue across all TAF sites and this is combined with periods of light shower (VCSH) activity through the period at SGJ, JAX, and CRG.
Gusty northeasterly winds will continue, gusting to the 15-25 mph range in the afternoon.
MARINE
Issued at 420 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
The small craft advisory (SCA) continues with the breezy northeast winds resulting in seas generally in the 5-8 foot range. There is some support for trimming back the extent of small craft advy for the nearshore waters and/or parts of the GA waters, but for now given the occasional wind surges have elected to continue the advisory for these areas, as models tend to underestimate winds and seas in these scenarios. An ASCAT pass at 16z today does show winds of 20 kt over the GA waters. Winds and seas should decrease a bit by Thursday as the gradient weakens, and flow will turn more northerly.
A cold front approaches on Friday and the frontal passage not really anticipated until Saturday morning when winds increase to near 15 kt and gusty, with a brief SCA headline not out of the question Sat evening or Sat night/Sunday morning. Winds diminish early next week as high pressure moves into the area from the west.
Rip Currents: High Rip current risk continues through midweek at NE FL and SE GA beaches due to persistent northeasterly flow.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 425 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023
Coastal Flood advisories remain in effect, but the threat of minor flooding along the Atlantic coast is diminishing through Wednesday, but likely to continue in the St Johns River Basin into Thursday and possibly on Friday due to trapped water in the St. Johns river and lingering effects of high astronomical tide. Current forecast suggest about 1.5-2 ft MHHW/ 1.5-2 ft inundation Atlantic coast and St Johns River, with the levels in the river just 0.2 ft shy of coastal flooding warning so will need to be monitored closely.
