Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 908 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 2020

UPDATE.

Low to mid level trough will continue across the central portions of our area tonight oriented west-east, and remains near stationary or drifting south slightly. Bulk of the high moisture is along and south of this trough and left-over scattered showers and a few storms are affecting northeast FL this evening. Over the next few hours, activity over land should continue to diminish but expect isolated to scattered showers and potential storms to continue over the coastal waters mainly to the south of Fernandina Beach. Plentiful moisture remains south of the trough with PWAT about 2.1 inches, and some general low level convergence south of the trough, and so we can't completely rule out isolated weak convection over land after midnight, otherwise mostly dry. Min temps in the lower to mid 70s. Light patchy fog possible overnight as well.

MARINE.

A few minor changes to winds and to add some showers and potential isolated storms into the forecast tonight. Winds and seas should remain light into Saturday but higher in and near any thunderstorms.

HYDROLOGY.

Rainfall today dumped up to 2-3 inches in the north fork basin of Black Creek. This will result in elevated water levels into the weekend but current projections show it falling just short of action. This will continue to be monitored.

PREV DISCUSSION [753 PM EDT].

NEAR TERM [Tonight through Saturday]. Numerous showers and storms expected across mainly ne Fl this evening in vicinity of surface front and upper trough. Drier air aloft has moved into se Ga behind the trough axis so coverage will be less north of the Okefenokee Swamp. Interaction of front and seabreezes over ne Fl along with PWATS near 2 inches will produce locally heavy rainfall with the slow moving stronger cells. Expect convection to end by midnight as instability weakens. On Saturday the dry air aloft shifts a little further south with most of convection expected along and south of I-10 corridor across ne Fl where surface boundaries and deep moisture will linger.

SHORT TERM [Saturday night through Monday night]. Mid-level low will close off near the central Gulf coast along with weak surface low development. This area of low pressure will meander to the nnw Sunday and Monday. This will bring deep moisture and surface front back north across s Ga with numerous areas of showers and storms expected area wide. Locally heavy rainfall will continue to be the main threat.

LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Friday]. Broad upper trough with weak surface low over the central Gulf region will start to drift eastward. Models generally move this area of troughing to the ene towards the Carolinas by late week. Deep moisture will remain across the area with diurnal convection continuing. Rain chances and temperatures will be at or slightly above average.

AVIATION. [Through 00Z Sunday]

Areas to widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms are around the JAX Metro terminals which should slowly fade over the next few hours. Still some chance of a shower and storm for GNV and SGJ this evening. For now, have included MVFR in the showers and storms for this evening, with IFR still possible if the current line of showers and storms pushes further west into JAX or south toward CRG. Could be some low stratus clouds overnight but low confidence on this. Scattered to numerous showers and storms possible Saturday with best chances over northeast FL. Generally light and variable winds rest of tonight, then becomes easterly near 5-10 kt on Saturday.

MARINE. Surface front across the Florida waters will stall this weekend and lift back to the north Monday as low pressure develops to the west. Winds and seas will remain low into early next week. Scattered to numerous showers and storms expected into early next week.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk through the weekend.
