AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 226 Am Est Thu Jan 28 2021
Synopsis.. The low pressure system that brought us Wednesday's cold front will continue to sweep eastward through the north atlantic waters today, with a strong ridge of high pressure building eastward behind it. This will keep strong northerly winds of 15 to 25 knots with gusts to 35 to 40 knots in place through the afternoon, then slacken overnight as that ridge move in. That ridge to our north will keep fair boating conditions in place through Saturday night. Our next cold front will then cross the area Sunday into Sunday night. The region will be between the exiting low to the east northeast and building high to the west northwest Monday into Tuesday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 323 AM EST Thu Jan 28 2021
NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].
A blustery cold day is on tap as a much drier, colder air mass builds over our area through the day. Highs in SE GA will be in the mid 50s, upper 50s to near 60 in NE FL. Strong winds from the north at around 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph. Winds will gradually lighten through the evening hours and finally become calm (or at least light and variable) overnight. Min temps tonight will be in the low to mid 30s, so much of the area is expected to see frost by early Friday morning.
SHORT TERM [Friday Through Saturday].
High pressure will gradually weaken over the Ohio Valley and the southeastern states on Friday, with low level flow veering to northeasterly shortly after sunrise. Seasonably cool weather will continue, with highs reaching the 55-60 degree range inland, except lower 60s for north central FL. However, breezy northeasterly winds will keep coastal highs in the low to mid 50s. Inland winds will decouple towards sunset, setting up another frosty night at inland locations, where lows will fall to the low and mid 30s. A light onshore breeze will keep coastal lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s, with temperatures at the coast likely rising a few degrees during the predawn hours as low level flow continues to veer.
Another deep trough that will crash onshore along the California coast on Friday morning will quickly progress eastward, crossing the Rockies on Friday night and emerging over the Southern Plains State by early Saturday. Surface low pressure will deepen over the Southern Plains on Saturday and will be positioned near St. Louis by sunrise on Sunday. Meanwhile, cool high pressure along the Carolina coast on Saturday will move offshore, while another high pressure center over Hudson Bay wedges down the Appalachians on Sunday. Flow aloft will become zonal over our region on Saturday, and low level flow will continue to veer to southeasterly. Marine stratocumulus will begin to advect onshore within the deepening southeasterly flow pattern by Saturday afternoon, with high altitude cloud cover also increasing from the west. Highs will be near late January climatology, with 60-65 at most locations, except upper 60s in north central FL.
Warm frontogenesis will take place over Georgia on Saturday night as a wedge of cold air gets trapped to the east of the Appalachians ahead of the approaching storm system. Low level flow will veer to southerly, and strengthening warm air advection will result in lows only falling to the upper 40s and lower 50s, except mid 50s along the northeast FL coast.
LONG TERM [Sunday Through Thursday].
Low pressure will slowly weaken while decelerating over the Ohio Valley on Sunday, followed by secondary cyclogenesis along a warm front over the coastal Carolina region. Deep west-southwesterly flow will overspread our region by early Sunday as troughing aloft digs into the southeastern states. Model soundings depict bulk speed shear values of 50-60 knots overspreading our area during the afternoon and early evening hours ahead of this storm system's strengthening cold front. This weather pattern will advect a narrow ribbon of moisture northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico across our area, with showers and a few embedded elevated thunderstorms traversing our region from Sunday afternoon through the predawn hours on Monday. Breezy southwesterly winds will push highs well into the 70s on Sunday afternoon, except around 70 for locations near the Altamaha and Ocmulgee Rivers. The strong cold front will cross our region late on Sunday night, with a surge of cold air advection arriving during the predawn hours dropping lows to the 40s inland, ranging to the lower 50s for north central FL and the northeast FL coast.
Deep troughing aloft will cutoff over the Ohio Valley on Sunday night and will then linger along the Mid-Atlantic coast through Tuesday night. This feature will result in a deepening surface cyclone off the Delmarva coast on Monday morning that will move slowly northward along the New England coast through Wednesday morning before reaching the Canadian Maritime region by Wednesday night. The base of this stacked trough will pivot across our region on Monday night, followed by deep and dry northwesterly flow through midweek. Skies will rapidly clear from northwest to southeast on Monday morning, with wrap-around cold air stratocumulus associated with upper troughing then invading southeast GA on Monday afternoon and evening. Highs will fall back to below early February climatology for the early and middle portions of next week, with Tuesday likely being the coldest day of this event, as highs remain in the 50s area-wide. A few nights of inland light freezes will be possible on Monday and Tuesday nights, with frosty conditions continuing inland on Wednesday night.
AVIATION. [Through 06Z Friday]
MVFR cigs will continue to improve to VFR over the next couple hours then remain VFR through the end of the TAF period. Winds from the northwest this morning are already quite breezy, but will be even more blustery after sunrise, near 10-15G22kt. Winds are expected to lighten up again after sunset.
MARINE.
The low pressure system that brought us Wednesday's cold front will continue to sweep eastward through the north Atlantic waters today, with a strong ridge of high pressure building eastward behind it. This will keep strong northerly winds of 15 to 25 knots with gusts to 35 to 40 knots in place through the afternoon, then slacken overnight as that ridge move in. That ridge to our north will keep fair boating conditions in place through Saturday night. Our next cold front will then cross the area Sunday into Sunday night. The region will be between the exiting low to the east northeast and building high to the west northwest Monday into Tuesday.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents through Friday at NE FL and SE GA beaches.
FIRE WEATHER.
Strong northwesterly surface and transport winds will overspread our region through the early morning hours, with winds shifting to north-northwesterly by the mid-morning hours. Winds will then shift to northerly this afternoon with gradually decreasing speeds. A colder and much drier air mass will plunge over our area today, with minimum relative humidity values of 35-40 percent this afternoon. The dry air mass will linger on Friday, with inland humidity values falling to 30-35 percent during the afternoon hours. Surface and transport winds will shift to north-northeasterly on Friday, with breezy conditions prevailing at coastal locations and much lighter winds inland. Low daytime dispersion values are forecast for locations west of U.S. Highway 301 on Friday. Surface and transport winds will shift to southeasterly on Saturday, with breezy conditions developing at coastal locations during the afternoon hours.
