AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 1039 Am Edt Fri Apr 26 2024

Synopsis -
a frontal boundary situated over the georgia waters will stall over the northeast florida waters this afternoon before dissipating tonight. Meanwhile, strong high pressure off the northeast coast will Wedge down the coastline beginning this afternoon, resulting in strengthening onshore winds and building seas. Small craft advisory conditions are likely Saturday and into Sunday night for northeast florida offshore waters, with caution conditions prevailing elsewhere across our local waters. High pressure will then shift southward while gradually weakening late this weekend, becoming anchored off the southeastern seaboard for much of next week. Winds and seas will gradually diminish from Sunday afternoon through the early portions of the upcoming week.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 600 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Periods of IFR visibilities are expected at VQQ through around sunrise. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through at least 08Z at the regional terminals. Periods of scattered to broken stratocumulus ceilings of 5,000-6,000 feet are expected through tonight. An easterly wind surge later this afternoon and evening could advect a few light showers or sprinkles towards the SGJ terminal, but confidence was too low to include anything other than vicinity shower coverage in the SGJ TAF towards 09Z Saturday at this time. A period of MVFR ceilings could accompany this shower activity that will be approaching SGJ during the predawn hours on Saturday. Light southeasterly surface winds this morning will shift to easterly by 16Z, with sustained surface speeds increasing to around 15 knots at the SSI and SGJ coastal terminals, CRG, and JAX by 20Z, with speeds elsewhere increasing to 10-15 knots. Easterly surface winds will then subside to 5-10 knots by 01Z Saturday at the inland terminals, while sustained speeds remain around 10 knots at the coastal terminals through the overnight hours tonight.

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Overnight surface analysis depicts a weak frontal boundary stalling near the Altamaha and Ocmulgee Rivers in southeast GA.
Meanwhile, strong high pressure (1031 millibars) was building over New England and the Mid-Atlantic states in the wake of this frontal boundary, with this feature beginning to wedge down the Carolina coastline
Aloft
ridging centered over eastern portions of the East Pacific was building northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico and into the southeastern states, with this feature located downstream of a large trough that blankets the western half of the nation. A few patches of stratocumulus clouds were drifting across the skies of northeast and north central FL, with fair skies otherwise prevailing across southeast GA and the Suwannee Valley.
Temperatures at 09Z were generally in the low to mid 60s across most of our region, with dewpoints mostly in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

NEAR TERM
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

A loose local pressure gradient to the south of the stalling frontal boundary over southeast GA may allow for patches of fog to form across inland portions of southeast GA southwestward through the Suwannee Valley during the predawn and early morning hours.
Any fog that manages to develop will dissipate shortly after sunrise this morning.

Ridging aloft will continue to build northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico over our area today, which will result in the weak, dry frontal boundary that is stalled over southeast GA dissipating tonight as it reaches the FL/GA border. The bigger story will be a tightening local pressure gradient from north to south this afternoon as strong high pressure situated over New England and the Mid-Atlantic states wedges down the southeastern seaboard.
Light south-southeasterly winds this morning will shift to east- northeasterly this afternoon, with breezy conditions expected at most locations during the mid to late afternoon hours. This wind surge will likely be accompanied by an increasing coverage of marine stratocumulus advecting off the adjacent Atlantic waters, with this cloudiness quickly spreading westward across our region late this afternoon and this evening. Lighter winds and plenty of sunshine this morning will boost early afternoon temperatures to the upper 80s for locations west of the I-95 corridor, while lower 80s prevail for areas along and east of I-95. Temperatures will slowly fall this afternoon as the breezy maritime air mass overspreads our region.

High pressure will continue to wedge down the southeastern seaboard overnight, with weak coastal troughing likely developing over the northeast FL waters. Breezy and covergent onshore low level flow and PWATS increasing to around 1.5 inches may develop a few coastal showers towards sunrise on Saturday, especially for locations south of St. Augustine. Multi-layered cloudiness will increase across our area as marine stratocumulus advects onshore and cirrus spilling overtop of the ridge centered to the southwest of or region invades and overspreads our area overnight. An onshore breeze will keep coastal lows in the upper 60s to around 70, while gradually decoupling winds inland during the overnight hours allow lows to fall back to the low and mid 60s.

SHORT TERM
(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Strong surface high pressure over New England wedges down the eastern seaboard as ridging aloft amplifies over the eastern US.
Prevailing subsidence will lead to a mainly dry and warm weekend.
However, a weak coastal trough may shift onshore Saturday morning bringing a few light showers, mainly to areas south of St.
Augustine. Breezy easterly winds continue with sustained winds of 10-15 mph and gusts around 20-25 mph. Due to onshore flow, temperatures will have an east-west gradient with highs in the upper 70s along the coast to low/mid 80s further inland. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s and 60s.

LONG TERM
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Warm and mostly dry conditions continue through the week. Surface high pressure remains parked to our east through the week as flow gradually shifts to southerly. Upper level ridging over the eastern US begins to flatten early next week as a shortwave trough swings through the US. Its associated surface cold front weakens and stalls generally to the northwest, extending the ongoing dry spell. Above normal temperatures with highs rising into the upper 80s/low 90s and overnight lows in the 60s.

MARINE
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

A frontal boundary situated over the GA waters this morning will stall over the northeast FL waters this afternoon before dissipating tonight. Meanwhile, strong high pressure building over New England and the Mid-Atlantic states in the wake of this front will wedge down the southeastern seaboard beginning this afternoon, resulting in strengthening onshore winds and building seas. Winds may approach Caution levels this afternoon, especially over the GA waters. Seas of 2-4 feet will prevail both near shore and offshore today.

Onshore winds and seas will reach Caution levels throughout our local waters this evening and tonight, with Small Craft Advisory conditions becoming likely on Saturday and Saturday night for the offshore waters adjacent to northeast FL, where seas will build to 6-7 feet. Seas for the near shore waters adjacent to northeast FL and the offshore waters adjacent to southeast GA will peak in the 4-6 foot range, with 3-5 foot seas forecast for the near shore waters adjacent to southeast GA. High pressure will then shift southward while gradually weakening late this weekend, with this feature then becoming anchored off the southeastern seaboard for much of next week. Winds and seas will gradually diminish from Sunday afternoon through the early portions of the upcoming week.
Seas of 2-4 feet will prevail throughout our local waters by late Tuesday.

Rip Currents: A lingering long period east-northeasterly ocean swell will keep a moderate rip current risk in place at all area beaches through early this afternoon. Strengthening onshore winds later this afternoon will increase the risk to high at the northeast FL beaches. A High rip current risk is likely at all area beaches this weekend due to gusty onshore winds and breakers building to the 3-5 foot range.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 414 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Water levels along lower portions of the Santa Fe River have crested, but Moderate flooding near the Three Rivers Estates gauge will continue through Saturday night, with water levels then gradually falling, but remaining in minor flood for much of next week. Water levels near the gauge at Hildreth on the lower Santa Fe will also gradually subside, with minor flooding expected to continue through at least Tuesday. Water levels are expected to fall below flood stage along upper portions of the Suwannee River near the gauge at Suwannee Springs early this morning. Minor flooding will otherwise continue along most of the lower Suwannee River through the weekend.
