Flash Flood Warning 20, NWS Jacksonville, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
247 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

...NEAR RECORD RIVER FLOODING EXPECTED...

.SHORT TERM...NOW THROUGH FRIDAY...

NOW THROUGH TONIGHT...DEBBY TO TRACK INTO NORTH FLORIDA TONIGHT AND
EXPECT HEAVY RAIN BAND ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND FL/GA BORDER TO
INTENSIFY LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH RAINFALL BECOMING HEAVY
AT TIMES AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXACERBATE ALREADY ONGOING AREAL
FLOODING AND WILL PUSH RIVER LEVELS TO NEAR RECORD FLOODS ALONG
BLACK CREEK AND THE ST MARYS RIVER ALONG WITH MAIN STEM RIVER
FLOODING ALONG THE SUWANNEE AND SANTA FE RIVERS. WIDESPREAD 4-8
INCHES OF RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO STORM TOTALS OF 15-25 INCHES BY LATE
TOMORROW. FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN INTACT ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST
FLORIDA AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ALONG THE FL/GA BORDER.
BREEZY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS SYSTEM TRACKS INTO NE FL WITH SOUTH
WINDS AT 15-20MPH WITH GUSTS TO 25 MPH ACROSS NE FL AND NE WINDS AT
15-20G25 MPH ACROSS SE GA. FOR NOW WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY LAKE WIND
ADVISORY PRODUCTS UNLESS LOCALIZED WINDY CONDITIONS DEVELOP THIS
EVENING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INLAND.

WEDNESDAY...TD DEBBY OVER NORTH FLORIDA WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
SLOWLY EDGE TOWARD THE COAST DURING THE DAY. HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT
SHOULD BE MAINLY ACROSS NE FL ALONG AND JUST TO THE NORTH OF CENTER
TRACK. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN BREEZY CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED
OVER INLAND AREAS WHILE STRONG NORTHEAST FLOW ON NORTH SIDE OF
SYSTEM COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST FROM BRUNSWICK SOUTHWARD TO
JACKSONVILLE AND THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HELP ENHANCE SHOWER
ACTIVITY THERE AS WELL AS PRODUCE A BRIEF 1-2 FT TIDAL SURGE ALONG
THE ATLANTIC COASTAL COUNTIES...BUT TIMING WILL BE EVERYTHING AND
WILL DEPEND IF IT OCCURS DURING HIGH OR LOW TIDE CYCLE. MAX TEMPS
SHOULD PUSH INTO THE 80S...BUT HOW WARM WILL DEPEND HOW FAST THE
SYSTEM IS MOVING...WITH BEST CHANCE OF UPPER 80S ACROSS INLAND SE GA
WHERE SUNSHINE SHOULD BREAK OUT FIRST AND RAIN ENDS DURING THE
MORNING HOURS.

WED NIGHT...RAINFALL BAND ON BACKSIDE OF TD DEBBY ACROSS THE COASTAL
AREAS AND ALONG LAGGING TROF ACROSS NE FL SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE
OFFSHORE WITH FLOODING RAINFALL THREAT ENDING DURING THE EVENING
HOURS. SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR ACROSS SE GA WITH LOWS
ACTUALLY FALLING INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER/MID 70S STILL EXPECTED
ACROSS NE FL.

THURSDAY...MODELS ARE NOW TRENDING TOWARD A MUCH DRIER DAY AS THE
FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE COMING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRIER AIRMASS
ON THE BACK-SIDE OF DEPARTING TROPICAL SYSTEM AND EXPECT JUST A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS WITH MAX TEMPS REBOUNDING BACK INTO
THE LOWER 90S ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS AND NEAR 90 ALONG THE COAST.

FRIDAY...RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE REGION WILL LEAD TO FIRST OF
SEVERAL VERY HOT AND HUMID DAYS WITH MAX TEMPS SOARING INTO THE
MID/UPPER 90S AND WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDICES INTO THE 105-110 RANGE.
HEAT ADVISORIES MAY NEED TO BE INITIATED.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES INTO THE 90S AND HEAT INDICES OVER 100 DEGREES EACH
AFTERNOON. RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN BELOW CLIMO VALUES WITH ONLY
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. MAIN
STORY WILL BE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WITH HEAT INDICES APPROACHING
110 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON AND THE NEED FOR POTENTIAL HEAT RELATED
PRODUCTS TO BE ISSUED.

&&

.AVIATION...HAVE GONE WITH PREVAILING MVFR AND VCSH ACROSS THE NE FL
TERMINALS AS RAINBANDS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAVERSE THE AREA. MAY SEE A
FEW POCKETS OF IFR IN SOME OF THE HEAVIER BANDS. KSSI WILL HAVE
PREVAILING -SHRA WITH MVFR AND OCNL IFR FROM THE COMBINATION OF RAIN
BANDS AND STALLED TROUGH AXIS OVER THAT AREA.

&&

.MARINE...TROUGH AXIS WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE WATERS
AS TROPICAL STORM DEBBY MOVES ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA ON
WEDNESDAY. NE WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THE AXIS MOVES SOUTH AND
DEBBY MOVES ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA. FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OFFSHORE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE ADVISORY
OFFSHORE MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED BEYOND THAT TIME AND ALSO EXPANDED
TO THE NEAR SHORE. BRIEF GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY
THURSDAY AS DEBBY MOVES OFFSHORE.

RIP CURRENTS: MODERATE RISK.
