Forecast remains on track this evening with no significant changes made as easterly winds settle gradually towards 5-10 mph inland and closer to 10-15 mph at the coast. Skies will remain mostly clear tonight with slightly cooler than average lows into the lower 60s, mid 60s around I-95, the St Johns river and north central FL and closer to normal in the low 70s coast.

Saturday, the start of the weekend will be largely dry as high pressure over the eastern Carolinas builds east off the Outer Banks by afternoon with winds 10-20 with gusts to 25 mph behind the Atlantic seabreeze at the coast and 10-15 mph inland. An isolated shower or thunderstorm may develop west of I-75 as the Seabreezes merge there, but otherwise skies will be partly cloudy under few to scattered cumulus and scattered to broken cirrus clouds arriving downstream of thunderstorms well to the west along the central Gulf coast. Highs will be near normal around 90 to low 90s along and west of I-75 and cooler at the coast in the low to mid 80s.



NEAR TERM
(Through Tonight)
Issued at 123 PM EDT Fri May 31 2024

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

High pressure will continue to wedge down the southeastern seaboard, resulting in a tightening local pressure gradient that will create breezy east-northeasterly winds through the late afternoon hours today. These breezy onshore winds will quickly push the Atlantic sea breeze well inland, with this boundary crossing I-75 late this afternoon and then colliding with a more pinned Gulf coast sea breeze towards sunset along or just west of the Suwannee River. A few isolated showers or possibly a short-lived thunderstorm may develop along the Suwannee River in Gilchrist and southern Suwannee Counties towards sunset, with this activity possibly extending southward to far western portions of Marion County.
Subsidence and an overall dry air mass will keep any low-topped convection that manages to develop weak and short-lived in nature, with this activity then pushing west of the Suwannee River after sunset.

Winds at inland locations will gradually decouple tonight, with nothing more than occasional thin cirrus clouds spilling into our area overnight that will be emanating from convection triggered by the upstream shortwave trough that will progress slowly east- southeastward from the Ozarks towards the Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valleys. Fair skies, subsidence, and a dry air mass will allow lows to fall to around 60 degrees for much of inland southeast GA, with low to mid 60s expected elsewhere at inland locations. Onshore winds will be slow to subside at coastal locations, with some pockets of marine stratocumulus potentially advecting onshore after midnight. Onshore winds should keep lows in the lower 70s tonight for coastal locations.

SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 123 PM EDT Fri May 31 2024

Saturday...High pressure remains over the Carolinas and dry airmass remains across the region. The onshore flow will continue a few isolated coastal showers and there might be enough moisture to squeeze out an isolated thunderstorm over inland areas along the I-75 corridor and inland SE GA as the East Coast sea breeze pushes well inland and meets up with the Gulf Coast sea breeze and/or outflow from storms over SW GA, but overall rainfall chances will remain around 20% or less. The onshore flow will keep slightly cooler than normal high temps in the mid/upper 80s along the Atlantic Coastal Counties, while highs over far inland areas will still reach into the lower 90s prior to the arrival of the East Coast sea breeze.

Saturday Night...A few early evening isolated thunderstorms possible over far inland NE FL or inland SE GA otherwise expect mainly dry conditions overnight with cooler than normal low temps again over inland areas in the 60s, while the lingering onshore SE flow along Atlantic Coastal areas will keep low temps in the 70s, along with the low risk of an isolated coastal shower moving onshore, but again overall rainfall chances remain at below normal levels.

Sunday...High pressure moves into the Western Atlantic with ridge axis sliding southward towards the region, but overall onshore flow remains in place, becoming a bit more Southeasterly which will push the East Coast sea breeze front well inland. Some slight increase in moisture seeping in from the West as the high pressure center edges east will allow for widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms along the East Coast sea breeze as it pushes inland and meets up with the Gulf Coast sea breeze, mainly over inland areas of SE GA/NE FL once again. Max temps still reaching the mid/upper 80s for the Atlantic Coastal counties and into the lower 90s over far inland areas.

Sunday Night...Still expecting another fairly quiet night after a few inland early evening showers/storms with fair skies overnight and lows in the mid/upper 60s inland and lower/middle 70s along the Atlantic Coast. Fog chances remain low without any widespread rainfall expected.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 123 PM EDT Fri May 31 2024

As high pressure ridge axis weakens over the region on Monday/Tuesday and then slides just south of the local area on Wednesday/Thursday, long range models show a modest increase in atmospheric moisture which will lead to rainfall chances attempting to recover closer to normal levels in the 30-40% range on Monday/Tuesday as the East Coast sea breeze still dominates and pushes Westward to keep most of the shower/storm activity over inland areas, while by Wednesday/Thursday the steering flow will become light Southwesterly which will help the both the Gulf/Atlantic sea breezes push inland with better chances along the US 17 and US 301 corridors, but Atlantic beaches likely remaining mostly dry, but by Friday with long range models trying to push a weakening frontal boundary into the region which should provide enough Westerly steering flow to pin the East Coast sea breeze along the I-95 corridor and produce scattered showers and storms for the Atlantic beaches and into the Atlantic Coastal waters. Overall rainfall coverage still on the spotty side (scattered) and any lightning strikes from storm activity will run the risk of starting up local wildfires due to the drier antecedent weather pattern this weekend due to the drier fuels (increased fire danger). Above normal temps will continue with highs into the lower to middle 90s over inland areas and upper 80s along the Atlantic beaches, with lows in the upper 60s/near 70 over inland areas and middle 70s along the Atlantic Coast.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 738 PM EDT Fri May 31 2024

VFR conditions will continue through the 00Z TAF period. High pressure will build south from the central Appalachians mountains and Mid Atlantic states across the Carolinas tonight through Saturday morning, then build east just off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Winds will subside to under 10 knots inland over the next few hours with few high clouds from the northwest and then increase from the east Saturday to 8-12 knots after 14Z and spread inland with the progressive Atlantic seabreeze up to 10-14 knots and gusting to 15-20 knots inland and 20-25 knots at the coast with few to scattered clouds 5.0 kft under some increase in high level clouds from the northwest.

MARINE
Issued at 1145 AM EDT Fri May 31 2024

High pressure building southeastward from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley will wedge down the southeastern seaboard this afternoon, resulting in strengthening east-northeasterly winds this afternoon.
Small Craft should Exercise Caution this afternoon throughout our local waters, as winds increase to 15-20 knots. Seas of 3-5 feet will prevail both near shore and offshore through the weekend.

High pressure center will pivot east-southeastward this weekend, pushing off the Carolina coast by Saturday afternoon and then becoming centered near Bermuda by Sunday night. Breezy easterly winds will prevail across our local waters on Saturday and Saturday night, followed by winds shifting to southeasterly while gradually diminishing from Sunday through the early portions of next week. Only isolated showers are possible on Saturday afternoon and evening, with isolated showers and possibly a few thunderstorms early next week.

Rip Currents: Strengthening onshore winds will create a high-end moderate rip current risk at all area beaches today. Breezy onshore winds will continue on Saturday, potentially resulting in a high rip current risk. An elevated risk will likely continue on Sunday and Monday as onshore winds only gradually diminish.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 1145 AM EDT Fri May 31 2024

An unseasonably dry air mass will persist across our region through Saturday, with minimum relative humidity values falling to around 30 percent at most inland locations this afternoon and again on Saturday afternoon. East-northeasterly surface and transport winds will become breezy this afternoon, and these breezy winds will combine with elevated mixing heights to create good to marginally high daytime dispersion values at most locations today and again on Saturday. Surface and transport winds will shift slightly to easterly on Saturday and then east- southeasterly on Sunday. Good daytime dispersion values will likely continue on Sunday at most locations.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 1145 AM EDT Fri May 31 2024

Water levels continue to recede along lower portions of the Satilla River near the gauge at Atkinson, where water levels will fall below flood stage on Saturday night. Water levels have also crested along lower portions of the Santa Fe River near the gauge at Three Rivers Estates, but minor flooding will continue through most of the upcoming week due to backwater flooding effects from action level water levels along lower portions of the Suwannee River.
