Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Synopsis.. Northwest winds will increase to near advisory levels Friday night along with elevated seas into Saturday. Winds will become elevated again Monday with the approach of the next storm system, and remain elevated into at least Wednesday night. A period of small craft advisory conditions is likely during this time frame, with the potential for brief gale force gusts. In addition, the potential for fog will increase on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially Tuesday night.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 150 AM EST Fri Feb 28 2020
NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].
Today . After light freeze/frost over inland areas early this morning temps increase to around 60 degrees this afternoon under Sunny skies, still below normal levels for late February. West winds will increase ahead of approaching trof to 10-15 mph with gusts of 20-25 mph this afternoon.
Tonight . Trough passage expected from the NW with a brief period of clouds across SE GA otherwise Mostly Clear skies are expected with West winds remaining elevated in the 5-10 mph range which will keep temps from falling as low as this morning, with lows in the middle to upper 30s inland and lower 40s along the coast. The elevated winds and drier airmass should prevent much in the way of any patchy frost formation so have kept out of the forecast, but the slightly higher winds will produce some wind chill values down close to the freezing mark around sunrise Saturday Morning.
SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday].
Sat & Sat night . Breezy with passing clouds Sat as a couple of dry cold fronts sweep across the local area, mainly just reinforcing the cooler than normal and dry airmass in place across the deep south under deep layer NW flow. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies expected as highs rebound into the low/mid 60s across NE FL to near 60 toward the Altamaha River basin under breezy WNW winds 15-20 mph with gusts 20-30 mph. Winds decrease Sat night as surface high builds over the area from the Gulf of Mexico and weak upper ridge builds over the SE region. Cool and dry airmass in place combined with ideal radiational cooling conditions will support low temps quickly falling into the low/mid 30s inland Sat night with a light inland freeze possible for parts of SE GA and inland frost extending southward across inland NE Florida.
Sun & Sun night . Airmass modifies with increasing moisture and temps as the surface ridge builds offshore of the local Atlantic coast and the upper ridge breaks down with increasing mid/high clouds later in the day and Sun night. Low level winds transition to SSE by Sun evening with high temperatures moderating into the mid/upper 60s inland to low 60s coast. Warming trend continues into Sun night with lows ranging from the upper 30s to low 40s inland to upper 40s/near 50 along the St. Johns River basin & Atlantic coast.
LONG TERM [Monday Through Friday].
Mon & Tue . Warming trend continues high pressure east of the region and increasing southerly flow ahead of next approaching front. Chance of mainly coastal showers late Mon into Tue as warm front pivots northward over the local area with fog potential Mon night as dew pts increase and winds remain light. Highs will warm to near to above climo values in the 70s Mon and near 80 inland Tue with daily sea breezes keeping coastal locales a few deg cooler. Mins will also rebound above normal and range in the 50s Mon night to 60s Tue under elevated SSW winds through the night ahead of the front in the 15-20 mph and gusty near bodies of water.
Wed & Wed night . Breezy Wed morning ahead of approaching cold front with speeds 15-25 mph and gusts nearing 35-45 mph before convection arrives. Rain chances increase from west to east Wed afternoon into Wed evening with a fast moving pre-frontal squall line, likely weakening as it enters our forecast area with the surface low and upper trough lifting NE across TN River Valley and mid-Atlantic region. Dynamical shear is impressive with this system per the GFS20 with 0-6 km bulk shear 60-80 kts, however instability will be quite limited with surface based CAPE barely over 200 J/kg. Will indicate isolated t'storms at best with this system based on latest trends. Model guidance consensus suggests this will be the best shot of wetting rainfall over the next week with about 0.25-0.50 inches focused north of the I-10 corridor, with less than a quarter inch across most of NE FL. Highs warm into the low/mid 80s Wed ahead of the front with lows falling into the 50s trailing the frontal passage Wed night with clearing skies.
Thu & Fri . Dry, mild and stable as surface high pressure centered over the Gulf Coast states extends a ridge axis across the local area with only a shallow cold airmass in place. Temperatures will trend cooler back closer to climo values with highs in the 60s/70s and lows in the 40s under mostly clear skies.
AVIATION. [Through 06Z Saturday]
VFR through the period. West winds will increase to 10-12 knots with gusts of 15-18 knots during the afternoon hours from 16-22z.
MARINE.
A series of troughs will push through the waters tonight and Saturday and W to NW winds and seas to 20-25 knots/5-7 ft over the offshore waters and have posted SCA headlines there while likely SCEC headlines will be needed for the nearshore waters. Seas subside and winds become light and variable on Sunday as High builds directly over the local waters. Southerly winds develop on Monday as High pushes east of the waters into the Atlantic and then increase to possible SCA levels on Tuesday ahead of next frontal passage.
FIRE WEATHER.
Dry and stable conditions as high pressure dominates over the western Gulf of Mexico and dry cold front pass over the local area tonight and again on Saturday. These fronts will not bring rainfall, but will bring passing clouds and reinforce the cooler, dry airmass in place through the weekend. Minimum RHs will near critical values through the weekend and generally range between 25-30%. West winds today will range between 10-15 mph this afternoon with gusts 15-20 mph near the St. Johns River basin and across parts of SE Georgia generally near the Altamaha River basin. NW winds will increase Saturday with speeds near 15 mph and gusts 25-30 mph which will also create high dispersion above 90 units for most areas. The limiting factor for red flag conditions will be elevated fuel moisture, with 10-hr fuel moisture expected to range between 9-10% across SE GA today and ERC values across NE Florida less than 20 units. Another inland freeze and frost event is expected Saturday night into Sunday morning.
HYDROLOGY.
Moderate Flooding continues on the Altamaha River basin. Minor Flooding has started on the Satilla River basin near Atkinson.
