No changes planned in forecast update...with partly cloudy skies expected. Current high temperature forecast Today looks good.

NEAR TERM
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 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 ridge axis from the Atlantic across the region will continue to slowly shift southward and extend across the FL Peninsula as a weak surface trough pushes into the SE US later today and tonight. This will continue a westerly steering flow across the local NE FL/SE GA region and continue above normal temperatures. Widespread high clouds over the local area this morning will shift southward and disperse during the afternoon hours and will allow for partly to mostly sunny skies to develop, which should push highs into the upper 80s/near 90 over inland areas, while a weaker East Coast sea breeze will allow for slightly warmer temps into the lower/middle 80s along the Atlantic Coastal/I-95 corridors, the East Coast sea breeze should push inland to the I-95 corridor across SE GA and to the US 17 corridor across NE FL. Periods of high clouds will continue tonight with mainly mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and above normal overnight lows in the lower 60s inland and middle 60s along the Atlantic Coast. Some patchy fog will be possible over far inland areas by early Friday morning, mainly along the I-75 corridor of inland NE FL and the Suwannee River Valley.

SHORT TERM
(Friday through Saturday night)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024

Friday, light westerly low level flow continues with low level ridging just south of the area from the eastern Gulf into central and southern FL. Patchy inland fog along and west of I-75 will lift by mid morning with light westerly winds 5-10 that will help push the Gulf seabreeze inland past highway 301 while pinning the Atlantic seabreeze along and east of I-95. Dry low level air in the low levels will prevent showers across most of the area with exception of SE GA locations near the altamaha river basin where higher moisture ahead of a slow moving cold frontal boundary draped across the deep south to generate isolated showers and a widely scattered T'storm. High temperatures will be Hot Friday in the low 90s along and west of I-95 and mid 80s at the beaches. Lows will be in the low to mid 60s Friday morning.

Friday night, skies will be mostly clear with light west southwest winds creating patchy fog west of I-75. Increasing moisture over the area will make for milder lows in the mid 60 to upper 60s.

Saturday, low level ridge will sink into south FL away and allow for isolated to scattered showers and T'storms over SE GA in the afternoon where greatest moisture will reside as the approaching cold front slowly edges east southeast through AL/GA/SC due to upper level support racing away into the western Atlantic waters.
Highs stay hot in the low 90s inland amid the warm westerly low level flow and mid 80s coast where the east coast seabreeze stays pinned. Lows will be in the mid 60s.

LONG TERM
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024

On Sunday, mid to upper level shortwave trough will rotate from the northern plains southeast towards the mid MS valley with a weaker shortwave impulse just ahead of it over moving east from TX into the lower MS valley. This will develop a wave of low pressure that will move east northeast along the boundary that will move near or just north of SE GA areas late Sunday leading to isolated to scattered showers and T'storms in the afternoon and early afternoon hours, with activity lingering after midnight as the front sinks further south into SE GA towards the FL/GA state line. A seabreeze induced shower is possible over NE FL in the afternoon, but dry air in the low levels will largely remove this possibility. More cloud cover will help lower highs to the upper 80s to around 90 over NE FL and mid to upper 80s over SE GA with mid 80s at the beaches. Lows will again be in the mid 60s.

Monday, mid to upper level trough swinging east southeast from the TN valley to the Carolinas will finally push the cold front into NE FL. The combination of moisture ahead of the front, instability from cooler mid level temperatures, and lift from convergence along the frontal boundary will generate scattered to numerous showers and T'storms. The presence of strong shear and steep mid level lapse rates will keep the potential open for isolated strong to severe T'storms that may include gusty winds and hail. Winds will shift from southwesterly to northerly behind the front by late in the day. Cooler highs from convection expected in the mid to upper 70s over SE GA and the low to mid 80s over NE FL. Lows will be in the mid 60s over NE FL and lower 60s over SE GA.

Tuesday, high pressure will build from the southern Appalachians onto the Carolina coast with northerly winds turning easterly over coastal portions of the area as the high shifts eastward. A drier airmass will create mostly sunny skies. Highs will be cooler in the low to mid 70s over SE GA, upper 70s to lower 80s over NE FL and mid 80s over north central FL. Morning low temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s inland and low 60s coast.

Wednesday, the highs will resettle to the east and extend a surface ridge axis over SE GA with light south to southeast winds under mostly sunny skies as subsidence remains over the area. Highs will rebound due to the sunshine into the mid to upper 80s. Morning low temperatures will again be in the mid to upper 50s inland and low 60s coast.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 634 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024

Mid and high level clouds will begin to thin out later this morning with VFR conditions in store for the 12Z TAF period. High presure will reside just south of the area today with light southwest winds shifting southeasterly at 16-18Z at SSI/SGJ/CRG and 20-21Z at JAX/VQQ as Atlantic seabreeze moves onshore with few cumulus clouds around 5.0 kft. Winds diminish from the south tonight 4-8 knots and become variable inland under 5 knots and southwesterly at the coastal TAF sites 5-8 knots overnight.

MARINE
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024
