River Flood Warning 14, NWS Jacksonville, FL

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
250 PM EDT Sat Sep 9 2017

.SHORT TERM...This afternoon-Monday night...Latest satellite
imagery shows a southwest to northeast band of clouds and showers
stretched from south of Tampa to around the Flagler-Volusia county
line associated with the same boundary/front that's been stalled
over the area for a couple of days now. This is likely the best
indication that the current shower activity over northeastern
Florida is not associated with Hurricane Irma. Showers will
continue through tonight, penetrating further inland with time.
After Irma finally makes its expected northward turn, rainbands
will begin to move into northeastern Florida and then southeastern
Georgia, likely late tonight or Sunday morning. The arrival of
rainbands will increase the likelihood of flooding as well as
tornadoes.

Rainbands and squalls will continue to increase in coverage
Sunday and steady northeasterly winds will be on the rise, with
tropical storm force winds possible as early as late Sunday
morning across northeastern Florida, and late Sunday evening
across southeastern Georgia. Tropical Storm force winds will
continue through Monday, with some hurricane force gusts.

No matter the strength and exact track of Hurricane Irma,
northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia will see significant
impacts including wind damage and flooding as well as possible
tornadoes. Please continue to closely monitor the latest official
forecast from the National Hurricane Center and heed the advice of
local officials. Now is the time to complete any hurricane
preparations as conditions will further deteriorate tonight.

.LONG TERM...Tuesday-Saturday...Precipitation chances are
expected to decrease Tuesday as Irma moves to the North. Weak
ridging to the East will provide a moist Southerly flow through
mid week, with mainly diurnally driven convection expected. A
degree of uncertainty in the forecast toward next weekend, as
extended models diverge on behavior of hurricane Jose. So at this
point will favor a seasonal forecast with mainly diurnally driven
convection for next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...Onshore flow with gusty winds will continue this 18z
TAF period, with showers with embedded thunderstorms increasing in
coverage. Restrictions will be expected through this period.

&&

.MARINE....Conditions will continue to deteriorate through early
next week as Hurricane Irma is forecast to track well west of the
waters. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the NE FL waters and
a Hurricane Watch is in effect for the SE GA waters.

Rip Currents: High Risk of rip through at least early next week.
