AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
231 AM EST SAT FEB 6 2016

...COLD AND WINDY CONDITIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...TODAY WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY...
BREEZY...AND COOL AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND A DEVLEOPING INVERTED TROUGH OFF
THE FLORIDA EAST COAST. SCATTERED COASTAL SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE NE FL COAST THIS MORNING...MOVING INLAND THIS
AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE ONLY BE IN THE 50S.
RAIN COVERAGE WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AS A STRONG UPPER SHORT WAVE
NOW OVER TEXAS REACHES THE FL PANHANDLE/SW GA BY 12Z SUNDAY. IN
RESPONSE TO THIS TROUGH A SURFACE LOW WILL FORM OFF THE SE FL
COAST THIS EVENING AND THEN INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES NE.
N WINDS ON BACK SIDE OF DEEPENING LOW WILL ADVECT COLDER AIR INTO
THE REGION. MODELS SHOW MOISTURE AND 1000-850MB THICKNESS
LOWERING TO NEAR 1300M(NAM12 BEING THE COLDEST) OVER COASTAL SE
GA BY 12Z SUNDAY. THIS MAY RESULT IN RAIN BRIEFLY MIXING WITH A
FEW SNOW FLURRIES IN THAT AREA TOWARDS MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER 30S OVER SE GA AND INTERIOR
NE FL...TO THE LOWER 40S NEAR THE NE FL COAST.

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY-MONDAY NIGHT/...
SUNDAY...LARGE STORM SYSTEM ABOUT 300-400 MILES EAST OF
JACKSONVILLE WILL SLOWLY PULL NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE REGION. ANY
LINGERING PCPN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SYSTEM ALONG THE COAST
DURING THE MORNING HOURS WILL PULL EAST INTO THE OCEAN BY THE
AFTERNOON. THE THREAT OF ANY SNOW MIXING IN WITH RAIN AS IT ENDS
ALONG THE SE GA COAST WILL BE VERY LOW DURING THE MORNING HOURS
WITH SREF SHOWING CHANCES AROUND 5-10% OF THIS POSSIBILITY.
OTHERWISE EXPECT SKIES BECOMING SUNNY BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS AT 15-20G30MPH AND HIGHS ONLY REACHING BACK
INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S.

SUN NIGHT...COLD WESTERLY FLOW WILL LINGER AROUND 5 MPH THROUGH
THE NIGHT UNDER CLEAR SKIES AND THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP INLAND AREAS
FROM A FREEZE BUT LOWS IN THE 30S COMBINED WITH THIS LIGHT WEST
WIND WILL DRIVE WIND CHILLS DOWN INTO THE UPPER 20S OVERNIGHT.

MONDAY...SECONDARY COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST AND
EXPECT W/SW WINDS AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE TO INCREASE TO 20-25 MPH
WITH GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH AT TIMES...JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA. MAX TEMPS WILL INCREASE CLOSER TO CLIMO VALUES IN THE
60-65 DEGREE RANGE. NORMALLY THESE SECONDARY FRONTS PASS THROUGH
DRY BUT THERE IS JUST ENOUGH ENERGY/MOISTURE TO WARRANT A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS.

MON NIGHT...A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE ACRS NE FL...OTHERWISE ANOTHER COLD AIRMASS IS USHERED IN
ON W/NW WINDS AT 10-20 MPH AND TEMPS FALLING INTO THE MID/UPPER
30S OVER INLAND AREAS AND NEAR 40 ALONG THE COAST. MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...BUT ELEVATED WINDS WILL PREVENT A
FREEZE AND EXPECT MAIN IMPACT ONCE AGAIN TO BE WIDESPREAD WIND
CHILLS DOWN INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 20S BY TUESDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY-SATURDAY/...

TUE/WED...COLD AIRMASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION ALTHOUGH WEST
TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL STAY JUST ELEVATED ENOUGH TO PREVENT A HARD
FREEZE...WITH WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZE OVER INLAND AREAS AND WIND
CHILLS DOWN AS LOW AS 20-25 DEGREES WED MORNING...VERY CLOSE TO
ADVISORY LEVELS OF 20F OR LESS. MOSTLY CLEAR/SUNNY SKIES EXPECTED
WITH HIGHS OF ONLY AROUND 50 DEGREES TUESDAY AND IN THE 50S
WEDNESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS CLOSER TO THE REGION BY
WED NIGHT AND EXPECT TEMPS MIGHT BE LOWER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST
WITH A WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZE POSSIBLE INLAND...AND AT THE VERY
LEAST THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT FROST EARLY THU MORNING.

THU-SAT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE REGION AND EXPECT A SLOW
MODERATING TEMP TREND WITH HIGHS NEAR 60 ON THURSDAY...WELL INTO
THE 60S ON FRIDAY...AND CLOSER TO UPPER 60S/NEAR 70S BY SATURDAY.
MAINLY DRY CONDS EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION...CURRENTLY CIGS OVER NE FL/SE GA ARE BETWEEN 4 TO 5 KFT
AS NNE WINDS AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE INCREASES. EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER
TO MVFR AFTER 16Z AND THEN POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS AFTER 23Z AS
RAIN INCREASES. HAVE VCSH 17Z-00Z MAINLY NEAR THE EAST COAST TODAY
AS COASTAL SHOWERS DEVELOP. RAIN WILL BECOMING PREVAILING AFTER
00Z WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GNV WHERE RAIN COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS.
NORTH WINDS HAVE INCREASED ALONG THE NE FL COAST(SGJ) EARLY THIS
MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND STAY STRONG THROUGH
SUNDAY. GUSTS WILL BE TO AROUND 25 KTS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE EAST
COAST.

&&

.MARINE...NNE WINDS HAVE INCREASED OVERNIGHT AS GRADIENT TIGHTENS
DUE TO AN INVERTED TROUGH FORMING OFF THE COAST. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL INCREASE FURTHER TONIGHT AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FORMS OFF
THE SE FL COAST AND THEN RAPIDLY INTENSIFYS AS IT MOVES NE. HAVE
UPGRADED GALE TO A WARNING AS FREQUENT GUSTS TO GALE FORCE ARE
EXPECTED OFFSHORE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL STAY ELEVATED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH ADVISORY
CONDITIONS LIKELY CONTINUING.

RIP CURRENTS: MODERATE RISK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. STRONG LONGSHORE
CURRENT TODAY AND TONIGHT DUE TO STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS.
