Issued at 147 AM EST Fri Jan 24 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
Area will be between low over Western Atlantic and high pressure building to the west this morning. The low to the east, will continue to move east through the day, taking the lingering clouds over NE FL with it. A cold northwest flow will continue through the day, keeping temperatures below normal. The center of the high pressure ridge will lay out across the southeastern US Tonight, yielding a clear and cold night. Widespread frost expected Tonight, with freeze watch in effect for entire forecast area. A cold weather advisory may be needed Tonight, but too marginal at this point to issue.
SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 147 AM EST Fri Jan 24 2025
High pressure will remain over southeastern US through Sunday. This will keep mainly clear skies, and dry conditions.
Clouds will increase ahead of a weak frontal system Sunday night.
Expect precipitation associated with the front to hold off until Monday though.
Temperatures will be below normal throughout this period.
LONG TERM
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 147 AM EST Fri Jan 24 2025

High pressure will build across the area Tuesday, then to the east southeast Tuesday night through Wednesday.
Long range models diverge in handling of a potential frontal passage Wednesday through Thursday. ECMWF is faster and drier with this feature, whereas GFS is slower and would bring shower chances late in this period. At this point keeping this period dry, but forecast uncertaintly increases.
