What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Dec 7, 9:23 PM EST, 4 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 9:23 PM EST, 4 hours 27 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
923 PM EST Wed Dec 7 2016

.UPDATE...High pressure will build into the area at the surface
tonight but with a low level short wave and some moisture trying
to move in from the west expect low cloudiness to move into the
Altamaha River area and coastal Georgia overnight. Over Florida we
should have stronger radiational cooling with some locally dense
fog developing late tonight or toward sunrise.

&&

.AVIATION...
Lower level moisture is expected to lead to fog and stratus
development Tonight, which will likely produce IFR and lower
conditions during the overnight into Thursday morning. Conditions
are expected to improve to VFR for the afternoon. Conditions will
shift to more of a wedge/local northeaster over the weekend with a
few showers developing over the coastal waters by Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...High pressure will build over the region over the next
few days with and increasing northerly flow over the coastal
waters tonight. Winds will become more north-northeasterly and
increase to near small craft advisory conditions on Friday.

Rip Currents: Low risk today and Thu. Increased rip current risk
this weekend and early next week with return of onshore flow.
