NOTICE 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. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 226 PM EST Sun Dec 15 2019

. WARMING TREND BEGINS WITH INLAND FOG AGAIN TONIGHT .

NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].

Seasonally cool, clear skies and another round of fog as surface high pressure centered over the local area builds offshore through tonight. Low level winds will go calm inland tonight while near the coast and over the coastal waters winds will veer more SE as the ridge center builds offshore. This transition will moderate temperatures and increase low level moisture with lows expected to be about 5-10 deg warmer tonight compared to last night. After midnight, conditions are favorable for shallow ground fog to develop inland once again with the focus area first developing near the I-95 corridor and spreading inland and to the NNW across inland SE GA through sunrise where patchy dense fog was advertised.

SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday Night].

Warm southerly flow develops Monday with a rebound in temperatures above normal values rising into the mid to upper 70s inland as the surface high shifts farther offshore of the SE Atlantic coast. Aloft, upper level flow backs SW with increasing high cirrus from the west Monday afternoon into Monday night. Dry conditions will prevail until Tuesday as the next frontal system approaches from the west. Dynamical forcing across the local area will be much weaker compared to the last system as the parent surface low tracks well to the north and the strongest dynamics aloft lag the deepest moisture and low level lift near the cold front. There is a low potential for isolated t'storms Tue afternoon and Tue evening with meager low level instability 500-1000 J/kg focused across our southern FL zones south of GNV to SGJ per the GFS where 0-6 km bulk shear near 40 kts by 00z. Cold front clears SE GA Tue afternoon and settles across NE FL Tue night with lingering clouds through Tue night. Above climo temps continue into Tue ahead of the front with some locations across NE FL nearing record highs in the lower 80s. Temps cool into the 40s for most areas Tue night trailing frontal passage.

LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Sunday].

WED & THU . Dry with below normal temperatures with an inland freeze expected Wed night. Post-frontal clouds will gradually decrease Wed as mid/upper level troughs press downstream of the area. At the surface, high pressure across south TX will extend a ridge axis eastward across the Gulf Coast states. This regime will bring a dry and chilly low level NNW flow which highs only in the 50s across most areas Wed with and inland freeze for SE GA and west of the Highway 301 corridor Wed night. The pressure gradient will remain elevated Wed night to continue winds near 5 mph inland to near 10 mph toward the Atlantic coast which will create wind chills in the 20s for many areas around sunrise Thu morning. The surface ridge builds north of the region Thu which will veer low level winds more ENE into Thu evening. This pattern transition will bring a gradual warming trend with highs warming into the mid/upper 50s for SE GA Thu and highs in the low/mid 60s across NE FL. Thu night low temps will also moderate into the mid/upper 30s across inland SE GA to the 40s/low 50s across NE FL, with frost not overly likely at this time across SE GA given influx of high cirrus clouds from the west through the night.

FRI THROUGH SUN . Increasing rain chances Fri-Sat with locally heavy rainfall potential and warming trend in temperatures toward near normal values. A coastal trough forms along the local coast Fri bringing a chance of coastal showers. Fri night a surface low forms along the inverted coastal trough offshore of the coast as a strong upper level trough and associated surface cold front press steadily east across the Gulf Coast states. Best chance of rainfall Fri night into Sat will focus along the local Atlantic coast where coastal convergence around the low offshore and increased forcing aloft could create localized heavy rainfall. Model discrepancies between GFS/ECMWF regarding upper level low structure and progression Sat into Sun with the 00Z ECMWF showing a weaker but progressive system while the GFS develops a strong, deepening low across the SE region and continues elevated rain chances into Sun with the upper level low passage. At this trended toward decreasing rain chances Sat night into Sun. Guidance is in good agreement at this time keeping the local area in the 'cool' section of this system so refrained from inclusion of tstorms at this time, however, if GFS solution of potent upper level low pans out, elevated instability will bring at least an isolated tstorm change. Cooler and drier NNW flow develops Sunday as storm system progresses downstream with temperatures cooling to near to below climo values.

AVIATION. [Through 18Z Monday]

VFR conditions will prevail this afternoon and evening. Fog and stratus are expected to develop overnight. The extent of this activity is not certain. There is a chance for very low conditions, but confidence is not high, so later updates will need to refine. Restrictions which do develop overnight, will dissipate Monday morning, and trend toward VFR from mid morning on.

MARINE.

High pressure over the local waters will shift farther east Monday as south winds develop. Seas and winds increase late Monday into Tuesday ahead of an approaching cold front to exercise caution levels over the outer waters. The front will press south of the waters late Tuesday with isolated thunderstorm potential. Strong north winds Wednesday will bring Small Craft Advisory conditions to at least the outer waters as surface high pressure builds across the Gulf Coast States. The high builds north of the waters Thursday and Friday with a gradual decrease in winds and seas as onshore flow develops with marginal advisory conditions over the outer waters.

Rip Currents: Low risk today & Monday.
