...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR NORTHEAST FLORIDA TODAY...

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE
ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA...COMBINED WITH
DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL LIKELY GENERATE ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDESPREAD
HEAVY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. LOCALIZED RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OVER SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS
WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING...WITH FLASH FLOODING
POSSIBLE IN URBAN AND LOW-LYING AREAS WHERE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL RATES
OCCUR. IN ADDITION TO THE FLOODING CONCERNS...SCATTERED STRONG
STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING STRIKES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DRIFT SOUTH INTO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ON
WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF NUMEROUS TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL REMAIN A
CONCERN...MAINLY OVER NORTHEAST FLORIDA...AND ANOTHER FLOOD WATCH
MAY BE REQUIRED.

AN INCREASING EASTERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND AN
INCREASE IN RIP CURRENT RISK IS ANTICIPATED.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED TODAY IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED.
