What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 10, 4:12 AM EST, 2 hours 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 10, 4:12 AM EST, 2 hours 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
412 AM EST SAT MAR 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY-MON.

TODAY...GRADIENT BETWEEN STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING NORTH OF THE
AREA AND COASTAL TROUGH WILL PRODUCE A STRONG NE FLOW ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY. MOIST NE AND CONVERGING FLOW...TRAPPED UNDER 800 MB
INVERSION...WILL PRODUCE CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NE FL ALONG WITH ISOLATED MOSTLY LIGHT SHOWERS NEAR THE COAST. BEST
RAIN CHANCES (30%) WILL BE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST THIS MORNING
AND ACROSS THE FAR SE ZONES THIS AFTERNOON WHERE BEST CONVERGENCE
WILL BE. SKIES BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY ACROSS SE GA THIS AFTERNOON
AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THAT REGION. USED A BLEND OF THE GFS AND NAM
AND WENT WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS SE GA...A
SHADE UNDER 70 ACROSS THE EXTREME NE FL COAST...AND 70S ELSEWHERE.
THE STRONG NE FLOW WILL MAKE TEMPS FEEL EVEN COOLER ALONG THE COAST.

TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...SFC HIGH PRES OVER ERN NC WILL SLOWLY
SHIFT EWD WHILE UPPER RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE FORECAST
AREA. ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE AND GRADUALLY VEER WITH DEWPOINTS
AND MEAN TEMPS ON A SLOW INCREASING TREND. A RELATIVELY MOIST
LAYER UP TO ABOUT 6-8 KFT AND LLVL CONVERGENCE WILL HELP SUPPORT
AN ISOLD SHOWER CHANCE LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE SE ZONES. THEN ON
SUNDAY...DAYTIME HEATING AND SFC CONVERGENCE WILL HELP GENERATE
ISOLD SHOWER OR TWO OVER NE FL AND THE COASTAL WATERS. BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY...WITH THE HIGHEST WINDS
EXPECTED ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES WHERE SUSTAINED 20 MPH IS
LIKELY AT TIMES. SKIES EXPECTED TO BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH
LOW TO MID CLOUDS. SUN NIGHT AND MONDAY...MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
STILL IN CONTROL OVER THE LOCAL AREA BUT BEGINS TO MOVE EWD. VEERED
FLOW AND PLENTY OF LLVL MOISTURE WILL MAINTAIN GENERALLY PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES FOR THE AREA AND WILL KEEP POPS AOB 15% FOR NOW. PATCHY
FOG POSSIBLE EARLY MON MORNING OVER INLAND SE GA BUT LOOKS ISOLD
ENOUGH TO KEEP OUT OF FCST ATTM. A WEAKENING SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE AREA MON NIGHT WHICH COULD PRODUCE ISOLD
SHOWERS OVER INLAND SE GA AND WILL MAINTAIN 15-20% CHANCES IN THE
FCST FOR NOW.

.LONG TERM...TUE-FRI.
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THINKING WITH THE PREVAILING PATTERN AS SFC HIGH
PRES INFLUENCES THE AREA WITH A RIDGE AXIS DRIFTING SWD INTO THE
FORECAST AREA TUE-WED. THE REMNANTS OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING
OVER THE AREA AND TAIL END OF A WEAK FRONT TUE AND WED EXPECTED TO
HAVE SOME SUPPORT FOR ISOLD SHRA OR EVEN A THUNDERSTORM OVER INLAND
SE GA ZONES THOUGH CONFIDENCE NOT VERY HIGH ON THIS SCENARIO.
OTHERWISE...LLVL FLOW REMAINS SE TO E WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY
PRECIP EXPECTED ATTM. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL
DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERNS TODAY WILL BE WIND AND CIGS. NE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND HAVE SUSTAINED 12 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO
20 TO 25 KNOTS AT ALL TERMINALS AFT 10Z. THE MOIST NE FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING IN MVFR CIGS TO THE NE FL TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE
DAY. MAY HAVE OCNL IFR CIGS THERE WITH SPRINKLES EARLY THIS MORNING.
FOR SSI...HAVE PREVAILING MVFR CIGS GRADUALLY IMPROVING TO VFR WITH
CIGS AROUND 4000 FT AT 15Z.

&&

.MARINE...

BREEZY NELY WINDS WILL CONT TONIGHT AND SLOWLY DECREASE ON SUN BUT
SEAS WILL REMAIN SOLIDLY IN SCA CRITERIA. LLVL FLOW BECOMES MORE ELY
SUN NIGHT THEN E TO SE MON WITH A GRADUAL SUBSIDING OF SEAS TO ABOUT
4-7 FT. BY TUE AND WED...SFC RIDGE CLOSE TO THE MARINE AREA WILL
CONT THE DECREASED TREND IN WINDS AND SEAS AND THUS REMAINING BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA.

RIP CURRENTS: ELEVATED SURF AND INCREASED RIP CURRENT EXPECTED
TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND WILL POST HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK FOR THIS
PACKAGE.
