Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
911 AM EDT Sun Sep 10 2017
.UPDATE...Although Hurricane Irma is slowly moving closer to NE
Florida and SE Georgia, the current weather scenario remains
similar to the last couple of days, albeit with ever increasing
tropical moisture. The front which had been stalled over Central
Florida now resides north of the local area, having been pushed
north by the hurricane, but nor'easter conditions continue.
Forecast updates this morning were fairly minimal - mostly just
maxed out PoPs and sky cover for much of NE FL today and through
SE GA starting tonight. Expect outer rainbands from Irma to begin
affecting the area later today towards Central Florida and by
tonight in SE GA, increasing the threat for damaging wind gusts
and tornadoes.
&&
.AVIATION...Conditions will continue to deteriorate this 12z TAF
period. Rain bands will continue producing restrictions, with wind
speeds increasing.
&&
.MARINE...Conditions will continue to deteriorate through
Monday as Hurricane Irma is forecast to track over the western
Florida peninsula. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the NE FL
waters and a Hurricane Watch and Tropical Storm Warning are in
effect for the SE GA waters.
Effects from Irma will begin to subside late Monday, but seas
aren't likely to drop below 7 ft until late Tuesday in the
nearshore waters and Wednesday across the offshore waters. Behind
Irma, winds will turn to out of the south Monday night and slowly
decrease through Tuesday. Winds and seas look relatively benign
Wednesday and Thursday, but focus will then shift to the track of
Hurricane Jose, which could impact the waters, even from afar,
later this week and next weekend.
