AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
340 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS SE GA THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...

...MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ON SATURDAY...

.SHORT TERM...STORMS NOW OVER SW GA WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST INTO SE
GA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INCREASING INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
WILL LIKELY PRODUCE A SEVERE THREAT PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED TORNADO OVER SE GA AND POSSIBLY THE SUWANNEE
VALLEY. RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO SPREAD SE INTO NE FL
LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING AS UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT
APPROACH. MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE ON SATURDAY AS
FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES SE ACROSS THE AREA. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH RAINFALL TOTALS MOSTLY
IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE
WITH HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUING UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY NIGHT...MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL ROTATE SLOWLY ESE
IN MEAN LAYER TROUGH OVER THE SERN U.S. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HELP
DRIVE THE COLD FRONT SWD INTO CENTRAL AND THEN SRN FL. WEAK HIGH
PRES WILL BUILD IN AT THE SFC FROM THE W WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR
MOVING ON NWLY FLOW. COOL ADVECTION N/NW WINDS OF ABOUT 5-10 MPH
WITH FCST LOW TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 40S N TO LOWER 50S S ZONES...THAT
COULD OTHERWISE BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER WITHOUT THE WIND.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...GENERALLY QUIET AND NICE WX EXPECTED WITH A
DRY AIRMASS/CLEAR SKIES AND COOLER TEMPS THAN PRIOR DAYS. WEAK HIGH
PRES WILL MOVE EWD FROM LOWER MS VALLEY EWD TO SERN U.S AND CENTRAL
AND NRN FL. THE COOLER DAY LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY WITH TEMPS MAINLY 70-
75. TEMPS COULD A BIT COOLER SUNDAY NIGHT DUE TO NEAR CALM
WINDS...HAVE MID 40S IN SE GA AND UPPER 40S OVER MOST OF NE FL.
TEMPS WARM UP MONDAY TO THE UPPER 70S UNDER FULL SUN.

.LONG TERM...ANOTHER WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO MOVE SWD OVER
THE AREA LATE TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT TOO DRY FOR ANY
PRECIP. SFC HIGH PRES WILL MOVE BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY ALLOWING OUR
WINDS TO BECOME N THEN TO NE AND E ON WEDNESDAY. RESULTING ONSHORE
FLOW MAY PUSH HIGHS BACK DOWNWARD ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS TO LOWER
70S...BUT MID TO UPPER 70S TOWARD THE I-75 CORRIDOR. YET ANOTHER
COLD FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE IN FROM THE NW THURSDAY AND RESULT IN A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS. FOR NOW WE HAVE 30-50 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN
THURSDAY THOUGH THIS MAY BE A LITTLE GENEROUS DUE TO A LACK OF A
MORE SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE RETURN. WITH TSTMS PROBS RELATIVELY LOW
AND CONTINUITY WITH PRIOR FCST...LEFT THUNDER OUT OF THE FCST AT
THIS TIME. AFTER THIS LATTER FRONTAL PASSAGE...TEMPS ARE FCST TO
DROP BACK DOWN BELOW NORMAL ON FRIDAY TO UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION...MOSTLY VFR THIS AFTERNOON WITH CIGS AROUND 4KFT AND
GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KNOTS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE TIL AROUND 00Z THIS EVENING...MORE LIKELY NEAR THE EAST
COAST SEABREEZE FRONT WHICH WILL BE PINNED NEAR THE COAST DUE TO
MODERATE SW WINDS. STORMS EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATE TONIGHT
TOWARDS MORNING WITH IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY AFTER 10Z.

&&

.MARINE...SOUTH TO SW WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AHEAD OF SLOWLY
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE
OVER THE GA WATERS TONIGHT AND OVER THE FL WATERS TOWARDS MORNING.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NW SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT PUSHES
TOWARDS THE SE. SCEC CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT OFFSHORE AND
POSSIBLY ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY.

RIP CURRENTS: LOW RISK THROUGH SATURDAY.
