Severe Thunderstorm Warning 104, NWS Jacksonville, FL

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
237 PM EDT TUE JUL 12 2016

.NEAR TERM (Tonight-Wednesday Night)...

This afternoon-Tonight...Deep layer ridge continues over the area. Strong
cap from earlier has broken due to the convective temp being reached and
isolated storms were rapidly erupting across the inland areas of northeast
Florida. As both the west and east coast seabreezes push inland later
afternoon...scattered storms will continue to develop with strong storms
possible. High-Res model continues to indicate most activity across
inland Ne Fl...however some storms may make it to near the Okefenokee
Swamp as well as coastal Nassau county and coastal areas of Se Ga.
Strong storms possible with strong wind gusts...frequent lightning...
and locally heavy rain in excess of 2 inches (given light steering flow).
Storms will fade out during the evening due to loss of heating.
Rest of the night will have clouds gradually decreasing with min
temps in the mid/upper 70s...warmest along the coast.

Wednesday-Wednesday Night ...little change in the overall pattern,
though mean layer ridge looks to move right over the forecast area.
So, hot and humid weather remains the story again...with scattered
afternoon showers and storms developing from afternoon heating and
sea breezes pushing inland. Forecast max temps end up slightly higher
than today with a few inland locations possibly reaching the century
mark and heat indices may reach thresholds for an advisory especially
across portions of inland Se Ga.

.SHORT TERM /Thu-Fri/...

East to West High pressure ridge axis will continue to bisect the
region very close to the FL/GA border with light SW steering flow
across SE GA and light SE steering flow across NE FL. This will
still allow for above normal/HOT temps with highs into the middle
to upper 90s over inland areas and lower 90s along the coast while
heat indices will continue to top out in the 104-108 degree range
each afternoon, once again very close to heat advisory criteria.
Atmosphere will remain moist enough with PWATs averaging around
1.75 inches to support daily scattered afternoon/evening storms
mainly over inland areas as the Atlc/Gulf Coast Sea breeze fronts
push inland each day. Activity expected to start first across NE
FL each day then propagate slowly northward and impact SE GA
later in the afternoon and evening. Quiet conds expected during
the overnight hours with lows generally in the mid/upper 70s
inland and near 80 along the river/coast.

.LONG TERM /Sat-Tue/...

Long-range models are still trying to lift the ridge at the
surface and aloft towards the north into the GA/SC region, but
still not convinced that this pattern will shift that quickly and
believe that a continuation of above normal/HOT temps and
generally scattered diurnal thunderstorm activity at least through
the weekend, with a possible shift towards early next week.
Overall day to day differences not that significant other than a
shift towards convection further inland across NE FL as the
easterly steering flow by early next week will push the Atlc Coast
sea breeze inland faster each day. Max temps still well into the
90s with heat indices close to 105 degrees each day.

&&

.AVIATION...Scattered storms expected to continue to develop as
seabreezes move inland. Have VCTS at all Ne Fl terminals and
tempo group at Jax for ocnl TSRA with MVFR. Additional amendments
may be needed for TS with MVFR vsby/cigs. Otherwise prevailing VFR
expected with scattered showers/storms fading in the eve.

&&

.MARINE...Southerly flow will prevail this week as surface high
pressure dominates east to southeast over the western Atlantic.
Southerly wind surges expected by late afternoon through the
evening hours up to or just below exercise caution levels.
Combined seas 2-4 ft expected...except briefly higher around 3-5 ft
during the surges.

Rip Currents: Generally low risk through Wednesday.
