Occasional showers will continue to stream onshore at times through the rest of the night, mainly within about 20 to 30 miles of the coast where a Flood Watch remains in effect. The combination of rainfall runoff and the persistent onshore flow also maintains criteria for a Coastal Flood Advisory for the St.
Johns River Basin from Jacksonville southward, which remains in effect through at least high tide of Thursday. Temps bottom out into the low to mid 70s inland, and upper 70s along the coast and east of the St. Johns River.
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 214 PM EDT Wed Sep 11 2024
The frontal boundary that has been stalled, will become more of a warm front extending across north central NE FL Thursday morning from remains of Francine. As Francine remnants lifts well to northwest of the area during the Thursday into Thursday night, this boundary will slowly lift north to near the FL/GA line. The boundary will then remain stalled, with high pressure to the northeast. An area of low pressure will develop just to the east of the area over the Atlantic waters along this boundary.
Above normal precipitation chances will continue this period, especially during the day, due to diurnal heating contribution.
Highs will trend below normal Thursday, then near normal Friday.
Lows will be above normal both Thursday night and Friday night.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 214 PM EDT Wed Sep 11 2024
The frontal boundary will continue to linger over northern FL through the weekend as low continues to the east northeast. This pattern will continue the higher than normal precipitation chances through at least the weekend.
There is more uncertainty heading into the first half of next week, as the models are trending toward further developing the low into what could become a tropical system, and moving it into the Carolinas. At this point will trend toward scattered precipitation.
If the low does become tropical, and move inland far enough to the north, drier air may wrap in behind it across the local area.
Temperatures will trend near to a little above normal this period.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 719 PM EDT Wed Sep 11 2024
Periods of SHRA and MVFR ceilings will overall be the norm through the rest of tonight as well as into the day on Thursday at area terminals. IFR ceilings at times towards sunrise are also expected for interior areas (VQQ and GNV), and cannot fully rule out the possibility at the rest of Duval terminals. SHRA chances continue Thursday for all, as well as breezy conditions towards coastal sites. TSRA potential is overall pretty low, and only confident enough to include VCTS at GNV for Thursday afternoon at this time.
MARINE
Issued at 214 PM EDT Wed Sep 11 2024
A frontal boundary will be over area through the weekend, with high pressure to the northeast. An area of low pressure is expected to develop over area waters on the front through the weekend, which may strengthen as it moves to the north of area.
