Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 943 PM EDT Sat Apr 4 2020
UPDATE.
A strong seabreeze front (in terms of cooler temperature and higher moisture advection) moved through this afternoon, so have adjusted hourly temperatures and dewpoints accordingly. Otherwise, forecast remains on track for a cloudy, dry evening with overnight temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s.
PREV DISCUSSION [756 PM EDT].
NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].
Weak backdoor frontal boundary that settled southward today will drift inland through southeast GA tonight and portions of northeast FL and then stall. Flow aloft currently is west- northwest, but an upstream complex shortwave system over TX and LA will push eastward tonight, and be located right at our door step Sunday 12Z. This system will transport much more moisture than there is currently and some slight chance of rain by the morning.
SHORT TERM [Sunday Through Monday Night].
Sunday . Almost the entire day we expect cloudy skies as the shortwave with some substantial mid level vorticity pushes through the region. PWATS will be around the 1.3 to 1.5 inch range. By the late afternoon, neg vort advection should be developing as the shortwave begins to move out of the area so decreased cloudiness seems probable in the aftn. The shortwave trough may induce weak low pressure along the stalled frontal boundary over the forecast area. Expect scattered shower activity to develop given the front and shortwave activity passing through. Best chances at this time look to be over northeast FL mainly to the north of GNV. Highs not as warm as today but mid 70s to near 80 are in the forecast at this time.
Monday . Surface high pressure will return to the area with the mid and upper level ridge remaining in place aloft, rendering dry conditions once again. Highs will warm back up into the mid 80s, with low 80s along the immediate coastline.
LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Saturday].
A weak pressure pattern will remain in place aloft of the local area next week, with broad ridging over the north-central Gulf coastline and a few shortwave impulses rounding over the top of the ridge. To our north, however, the pattern is more active. On Tuesday, a low pressure system moving off the New England coastline will drag a weak cold front into SE GA, though it will stall out near the state line. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible with this system Tuesday through Wednesday night, mostly in SE GA. On Thursday, a more potent upper level vort max will dig into the Great Lakes region, developing another cold front that will move across the southeast Thursday night-Friday.
Warming temperatures will continue early in the week with prevailing west-southwest flow. Highs will be in the 80s Tue and Wed, possibly returning to the low 90s Thu with morning lows in the 60s. Behind the cold front passage Friday, however, noticeably cooler temperatures will advect into the area with highs dropping back down to the 70s by Saturday and morning lows dipping back into the 50s.
AVIATION. [Through 00Z Monday]
The east coast sea breeze will continue to move west this evening across the FL Peninsula and interior SE GA through 06Z. An upper level impulse will move east along the upper Gulf Coast through the period, leading to mid level (4-5 kft) cigs developing around 06Z. Between 12Z-18Z we should see thickening low cigs between 2.5-5 kft with some light rain breaking out across the region and especially over the FL fields. Between 18-24Z, scattered showers will spread across the area. Cecil could see some light fog overnight between 3-5 SM from 09Z to 13Z.
MARINE.
Long period swells from the northeast driven by a low pressure system over the northwestern Atlantic waters will lead to increasing seas. Offshore waters south of Fernandina Beach will see waves build to 4 to 6 feet tonight, peaking around 5 to 7 feet Sunday and Sunday night. A weak backdoor cold front Sunday will lead to chances for showers. On Tuesday, another weak front will move into the region, followed by yet another front around Thursday night, bringing a return for thunderstorm chances in addition to more showers mid-week.
FIRE WEATHER.
Near critical low RH values of 25-35% will continue through the afternoon before rising in the evening hours. Conditions tomorrow are expected to be less dry with minimum RH values in the 40s and 50s as light rain moves in from out of the SE, with RH levels expected to remain above critical criteria for the rest of the week. Winds will build from out of the east on Sunday to about 5-10 mph for inland areas and up to about 10-15 mph with gusts of about 20-25 mph for areas affected by the east coast sea breeze in the afternoon.
HYDROLOGY.
The Altamaha River in SE GA remains elevated this weekend. The gauge at Baxley continues its broad crest in minor flood stage today, with the sites at Charlotteville, Doctortown, and Everett City remaining in action stage.
