...LOCALIZED FLOODING AND ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
RECORD HEAT POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND
NEAR TERM
A large stacked low pressure system continues to spin across the lower Mississippi River valley while an attendant cold front begins to push west across the Florida panhandle and the Gulf.
The local area currently lies east of the frontal boundary in a "recovering" warm sector. Instability has sharply risen with sunshine helping elevate SBCAPE (2000+ J/kg). Airmass convection, which has been fairly shallow thus far owing to a pre-frontal dry slot, has been gaining a bit more depth amid the warm sector. The morning upper air observation did indicate marginal lapse-rates but, with better than expected surface heating (highs into the low 80s), a more favorable environment (i.e. steeper near-surface lapse rates) for strong thunderstorm wind gusts is developing.
Though the drier airmass aloft may mitigate deeper convection initially, a few strong storms characterized by winds of 30-50 mph may develop ahead of and along the cold front as it moves across the region this afternoon and early evening.
Given the amount of accumulated rainfall over the last few days, localized flooding is still a concern but it is not likely to be extensive. Broadly, an additional inch or two is expected this through the rest of the evening.
Once the front parades toward the Atlantic coast and then offshore late this evening, convection along it will fade and drier air behind it will scour out moisture and cloud cover. With only partly cloudy skies, fog and low stratus formation is likely by sunrise Tuesday. Some fog could be locally dense west of the I-95 corridor. Lows tonight fall into the low/mid 60s inland while readings at the coast hover in the upper 60s to around 70F.
For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
SHORT TERM
(Tuesday and Wednesday)
The front will exit northeast Florida and southeast Georgia on Tuesday, leaving drier conditions in it's wake. Rain chances will remain at about 20-30% on Tuesday, with highest chances for isolated thunderstorms being in the afternoon and evening with sea breeze interactions as a shortwave moves through. By Wednesday, cloud cover will thin and southwesterly winds will continue, temperatures will rise back up into the mid to upper 80s, with some locations hitting 90 degrees. As the surface low makes it's way up the Atlantic coast, a few showers and storms will be possible over southeast Georgia on Wednesday, but otherwise it will be mostly sunny.
LONG TERM
(Thursday through Sunday)
Hot and dry conditions will settle in to finish off the week, with high temperatures soaring into the 90s area-wide from Friday through Sunday. With drier air in place, heat indices will be very similar to actual temperatures. A front will creep down from the north and stall over central Georgia this weekend, allowing for some isolated shower potential over southeast Georgia on Saturday and Sunday.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 146 PM EDT Mon May 12 2025
Scattered to numerous showers are developing and isolated to scattered thunderstorm development remains possible through the afternoon ahead of a slow-moving cold front. Anticipate visibility reductions to IFR with passing TSRA or +SHRA along with ceilings fluctuating between MVFR and IFR levels with passing convection between 18z-03z. Improvements are expected this evening from 01-03z as the front shifts from west to east. Breezy winds (10-15 kts) will favor southerly direction this afternoon and shift/decrease west- southwesterly with the frontal passage this evening. Low stratus development, particularly along and west of I-95 is increasing in probability with IFR between 08-13z.
MARINE
Issued at 225 PM EDT Mon May 12 2025
Marginal Small Craft Advisory conditions persist through tonight ahead of cold front which will push offshore during the early morning hours Tuesday. Scattered thunderstorms are possible over the local waters after midnight tonight. A weak high pressure ridge will extend across south Florida from Tuesday through much of this week with southwest flow prevailing.
Rip Currents: High risk of rip currents continues today and lowers to a Moderate Risk level Tuesday and Wednesday as offshore winds prevail and surf heights begin to fall.
