High pressure ridge will move off to the southeast Tonight, as a cold front moves into region from the northeast. Low level moisture along and west of the I75 corridor could result in a period of fog toward dawn. This fog could briefly become dense. Passing high cloudiness forecast through the night. Lows Tonight in the lower to mid 60s expected.

Unseasonably warm conditions continue under the influence of a dominating upper ridge. Temperatures continue to rise through the 80s and will challenge daily records across the region as peak temps read near 90F (daily records in the climate section below).
Otherwise fair weather reigns across NE FL and SE GA as abnormally warm temperatures drive a stubborn Atlantic sea breeze inland, which should reach the I-95 corridor before dissipating this evening. There is an outside chance of sprinkle north of Jacksonville along the SE GA coast this afternoon as better moisture, characterized by a cumulus Field, exists across GA.
Fair conditions continue into tonight as thin cirrus pushes through the ridge flow and a weakening front approaches from the northwest.
The primary focus tonight and early Saturday will an advective low stratus and fog event emanating from the Big Bend. Areas could become locally dense by sunrise Saturday, particularly across the Suwannee River valley and I-75 corridor, and it may require Dense Fog headlines.
SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Monday night)
Issued at 323 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Early morning fog will begin to clear during the early daylight hours on Saturday. By the afternoon, an increase in moisture over southeast Georgia from the approaching frontal boundary will bring scattered showers and chances for isolated thunderstorms. A Marginal risk of severe storms over northern southeast Georgia due to strong daytime heating and an increase in moisture, resulting in an unstable air mass, in which some isolated damaging wind gusts may occur as storms develop. Come Sunday, the cold front will begin to move through the area, with widespread showers and isolated storms expected. Instability is not expected to be as strong as Saturday, which will limit the the potential for any severe storms. As the cold front lingers over north central Florida, showers and isolated storms will remain for most of the day on Monday, clearing out by the overnight hours into Tuesday.
Above normal temperatures during the weekend, as SE GA and NE FL will see highs the upper 80s to lower 90s Saturday. Sunday will be a few degrees cooler, with highs in the mid to upper 80s across NE FL, and upper 70s to mid 80s across SE GA depending on the front's position.

Issued at 140 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024
VFR conditions prevail at this time, but some chances for fog and a low cig for VQQ and GNV in a few hours, with best chances at GNV.
Confidence in this is low to medium at this time, but satellite imagery and a few nearby observations beginning to show some potential over the few hours for GNV. After any fog and low cig dissipate by about 12z-14z, prevailing VFR conditions expected through the daytime hours. HOwever, there is some potential for isolated shower or thunderstorm mainly from JAX to SSI late today and this evening. Have shown VCTS or VCSH for now. Sfc winds will be light southwest to west early this morning, then increasing to near 5-10 kt by late morning. An Atlantic sea breeze begins to shift winds at SGJ and SSI by 17z-18z and CRG by about 21z-22z.
MARINE
Issued at 323 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Weak high pressure ridging continues with prevailing offshore flow over local waters. Nearshore waters will experience a wind shift toward shore this afternoon as the sea breeze develops. A weak cold frontal approaches from the north Saturday, stall along the Florida Georgia state line, and accelerated southward Sunday through Monday.
Scattered thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage this weekend. A low end surge of northeast winds will follow behind the front Monday then weaken and turn onshore Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure then builds across area waters once again.
RIP CURRENTS:
Moderate risk of rip currents will be present through the weekend, particularly during the afternoon hours with sea breeze development.
