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 |

AVIATION. [Through 06Z Sunday]
Fog begins to lift as a line of showers and storms ahead of a cold front move through the region affecting the TAF sites generally in the 08Z-12Z time range. An isolated strong to severe thunderstorm is possible. These thunderstorms have the potential to produce damaging wind gusts. Storms should exit all TAF sites by sunrise. Behind the front, ceilings lift to VFR and begin to clear. Breezy winds develop along the coast this afternoon.
PREV DISCUSSION [918 PM EST].
NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].
An upper level shortwave along the northern-central Gulf waters with a vertically stacked deepening low below it is keeping the southeast in a soggy weather pattern this afternoon. A quasi- stationary front is stretched out from roughly St. Augustine southwest to Gainesville, with available instability north of this boundary capped by a thick deck of low level clouds. However, just to the south of this boundary lies an untapped instability source with of MLCAPE 500-800 J/kg. Not a rager, but enough to kick storm generation up a notch along boundaries. As the Gulf low swings northeastward this evening, that boundary will push north as a warm front moving through our area and dynamics will become more favorable for the development of severe weather. By the time midnight rolls around, we'll have 0-6 km shear of 50-60 kts, which will help organize thunderstorms that develop in the warm sector of the system and at least pose a wind threat. With 0-1 km shear of 30-40 kts, unfortunately these storms will also be posing a threat for nighttime tornadoes. The time frame of midnight to 7 AM means that it's a good idea to make sure you have your Weather Radio set to alert tonight and your WEA notifications enabled on your phone before going to bed tonight just in case.
SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday Night].
By Saturday morning, the remaining storms will likely pick up some steam and exit the area quickly through the remaining morning hours, rendering a drier, breezy afternoon with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s. Temperatures Sat night behind the cold front will be near normal, in the low-mid 40s. High pressure will build eastward Sunday, leading to calmer winds and similar temperatures to Saturday.
LONG TERM [Monday Through Friday].
The break in rain chances will be brief, however, with our next front developing and moving in by Monday night. At that point, another upper level shortwave trough will push into the Srn Plains, developing a cold front out in the lower MS Valley. This cold front will move into the Southeast and TN Valley on Tuesday, reaching our area Tues evening/night. Behind this cold front, much a colder, drier air will advect into the area. Highs Wed through Friday behind the front will be in the mid 50s to low 60s and overnight lows will be in the 30s.
MARINE.
Strong southwest winds tonight will become more westerly in the wake of a cold front Saturday morning. A strong pressure gradient along this front will continue small craft conditions over our offshore waters through Saturday afternoon, possibly into the overnight period. After that, we'll have a brief quiet period with winds around 10 knots through Tuesday until another front approaches the area mid-week.
FIRE WEATHER.
A quasi-stationary boundary in place today is keeping very light winds in place at the surface and leading to low daytime dispersion values. This will push north overnight as a warm front, with a cold front sweeping in west to east later in the night and early tomorrow morning. Heavy showers and scattered thunderstorms will accompany these fronts, which will make for wet fuels, diminishing the threat for red flag conditions when drier air moves in behind the front.
HYDROLOGY.
A much needed 1-3" of rainfall fell this morning, mostly in extreme SE GA and eastern portions Nassau and Duval counties in FL. Although we've been in a quiet period through much of the day, showers and scattered thunderstorms will ramp up again in the evening and overnight hours, bringing another 1-2" of rain to the area. This may lead to isolated flooding in low-lying areas and those with poor drainage.

Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
