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. 6/2/2019. 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 |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 343 PM EST Sun Dec 8 2019
NEAR TERM [Tonight through Monday]. Shower activity near the coast and over the coastal waters will come to an end early this evening as inverted trough off the coast weakens and lifts north. Decreasing winds with increased low level moisture will likely result in late night fog . which may be dense in some areas. After morning fog burns off, Monday will be dry and warmer. Surface high pressure will be off the east coast allowing winds to come around to the south southwest. High temperatures Monday afternoon will reach near 80 degrees with slightly cooler temperatures at the beaches where a weak afternoon seabreeze will form.
SHORT TERM [Monday night through Wednesday night]. Conditions for fog development will occur again Monday night with light winds and high humidity. Near record warmth is expected on Tuesday as a deep layer high pressure ridge to the south provides a southwest flow. Highs Tuesday will reach the lower 80s. The ridge will shift east late Tuesday and Wednesday as an upper trough moves into the area. This will bring a cold front south across the area on Wednesday. Rain chances will increase late Tuesday night through Wednesday night . continuing behind the front as a sw flow overruns the shallow cooler airmass.
LONG TERM [Thursday Through Sunday]. Breezy conditions will develop on Thursday as strong high pressure builds to the north. Rain chances will continue due to impulses in sw flow aloft and strong onshore winds enhancing coastal moisture convergence. Another stronger upper trough and surface low approach the area with rain chances increasing Friday and Friday night. A few thunderstorms will be possible as weak instability develops. Rain should decrease on Saturday as upper trough and cold front move across the area. Drier and cooler conditions will be over the area for Sunday.
AVIATION. [Through 18Z Monday] Widespread MVFR CIGS at the coastal TAF sites of CRG/SGJ while SSI/JAX/VQQ/GNV will be on the edge of the MVFR CIGS and bounce back and forth through 18z before GNV/VQQ/JAX are inland enough to become VFR this afternoon. Gusty NE winds at 15-18 knots with gusts of 25-28 knots at the coastal TAF sites of CRG/SGJ with lesser winds at inland TAF sites. Have kept MVFR CIGS at SGJ through the period with highest chances of seeing strato-cu clouds continuing in the onshore flow while the remainder of the TAF sites over inland locations should either scatter out or at least become VFR with CIGS just above 3000 feet. Winds will also decrease to 10-12 knots or less after 00z this evening, with enough moisture and coastal shower risk to add in VCSH at SGJ after 06z.
MARINE. Small Craft Advisory conditions over the offshore Georgia waters will abate this evening as inverted trough offshore weakens and lifts north. This will allow the tight pressure gradient to relax tonight as high pressure to the north moves further off the east coast. Shower activity will also decrease over the waters this evening. The surface ridge axis will shift south of the area Monday through Tuesday with winds becoming south to southwest. A cold front will push across the waters on Wednesday and then stall south of the waters before lifting back north at the end of the week. Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely develop Wednesday night through Thursday night as the pressure gradient tightens with strong high pressure building to the north. Scattered to numerous showers are expected with isolated thunderstorms possible Tuesday night through Friday.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents northeast Florida and southeast Georgia beaches through Monday.

Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. 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. |
