AVIATION. [Through 06Z Wednesday]
Light southerly winds across NE FL terminals to southeasterly near SSI, just east of the surface low. Winds will continue back further WSW this morning across FL terminals and the surface low drifts farther north, while winds at SSI veer SE to SSW through sunrise and during the daylight morning hours trailing the low. Most terminals are low end VFR this early morning, with SSI will be just below with MVFR cigs through sunrise. After sunrise all terminals will be VFR. SW winds will bring showers and isolated tstorms inland from the Gulf Coast region toward GNV through midday. A weaker east coast sea breeze will back winds at coastal terminals to SSE in the early afternoon. Giving lingering tropical moisture, a couple weak surface troughs meandering over the area and both west and east coast sea breezes, expect an increase in shower and thunderstorm coverage this afternoon and into the evening and indicated VCTS for all terminals beginning near 17z for GNV to 20z for Atlantic coast terminals with TEMPO thunderstorms between 20z and 24z with reduced VSBYS with the ' convection.
PREV DISCUSSION [903 PM EDT].
NEAR TERM [Through Tonight].
The area of weak low pressure is positioned along the NE FL and SE GA coastline, centered near the FL/GA border, and it will continue to slowly move inland through tonight while weakening. Bands of showers with embedded thunderstorms continue to swirl around the low, but coverage is expected to decrease overnight. GOES-16 imagery indicates PWATs over the area are high near 2-2.5 inches due to the plume of tropical moisture associated with the low. High moisture will continue the threat for heavy rainfall and localized flooding through this evening. Overnight low temperatures will drop into the middle 70s, slightly cooler inland than at the coast where sea surface temperatures in the lower 80s will keep temperatures a little warmer. Late tonight into early Tuesday morning, patchy light fog will be possible.
SHORT TERM [Tuesday Through Wednesday Night].
Tuesday, the low will continue to gradually weaken as it drifts over southern GA. The latest GFS model run shows the low potentially drifting towards the South Carolina coast, but remaining very weak. Ample moisture will remain over the area in the wake of the low, PWATs are expected to remain over 2 inches. An upper level shortwave trough over the US east coast will reach down into southern GA, which will result in numerous afternoon and evening showers and storms along the sea breezes. Precipitation coverage will decrease overnight.
High temperatures on Tuesday will be in the lower 90s with heat index values in the 102-106F range. Tuesday night, low temperatures will drop into the middle 70s.
Wednesday, upper level troughing over the US east coast will shift slightly offshore over the Atlantic, but will continue to enhance convection over NE FL and SE GA. Expect numerous afternoon and evening showers and storms again along the sea breezes.
High temperatures on Wednesday will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with heat index values in the 102-108F range. Wednesday night, low temperatures will drop into the middle 70s.
LONG TERM [Thursday Through Monday].
Upper level troughing will build over the US northeast and surface high pressure will develop to our southwest over the Gulf of Mexico. This pattern will push several shortwave troughs over the deep south that will interact with the sea breezes. Daily showers and storms are expected. High temperatures through the long term will be in the lower and middle 90s with heat indices over 100F. Late this week we may see heat indices reach above 108F. Low temperatures through the long term will be in the 70s.
MARINE.
Elevated SSE winds continued near 15-20 kts at buoy 41008 this evening with combined seas 4.8 ft. Updated the forecast to advertised Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions this evening for our outer waters. Winds weaken further after midnight into the 10-15 kt range as they become SSW toward sunrise.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk through Tuesday expected.
FIRE WEATHER.
Weak low pressure along the NE FL and SE GA coastline will continue to move inland through tonight. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible with showers and storms, coverage will decrease overnight. A trough over the US east coast will remain through mid-week, enhancing afternoon and evening thunderstorms each day. Weak transport winds will result in patchy areas of low dispersions area-wide on Tuesday and in SE GA on Wednesday. Light patchy fog possible early Tuesday morning.
HYDROLOGY.
An area of low pressure along the coast will continue to move inland. Rainfall rates of 1-3 inches per hour are possible along the coastal counties. This will lead to locally heavy rainfall, with ponding on roads and localized flooding possible.
Rivers levels continue to fall with minor flooding ongoing along the lower portions of the Santa Fe River.
