225 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2017

.NEAR TERM /Through Saturday/...

Weak shortwave will pass just N of forecast area through Tonight
with upper ridge remains over FL peninsula. Expecting scattered to
numerous afternoon/evening showers and t-storms...with greatest
coverage between I-75 and I-95 corridors where sea breezes
converge...maintaining likely POP in this area til 00z along
with s-ctrl GA where increased coverage possible closer to the
shortwave...then a gradual decrease in hourly POP thru 06z.
Low temps in mid 70s looks good.

Saturday...another weak wave north of our area...with upper ridge
over FL. Anticipate similar weather compared to today...with greatest
late afternoon precipitation coverage between I-95 and Hwy 301.
as well as interior se GA along possible surface trough. Consensus
guidance supports high temp forecast in the lower 90s inland...near
90 coast.

.SHORT TERM /Sunday and Monday/...

Hot and humid conditions with scattered to numerous storms each
afternoon and evening. Light pressure gradient at the surface will
allow both seabreezes to push inland. Upper ridge axis will be
positioned just south of the area, so the steering flow should
push the storms back towards the Atlantic coast after the
seabreezes collide and storms increase in intensity and coverage.
The high moisture content and very unstable atmosphere will
support a few strong to severe storms each afternoon. Merging
cells will likely produce locally heavy rainfall, strong gusty
winds, and frequent lightning strikes. Temperatures will check in
just a little above normal for this time of year.

.LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/...

The summer-like pattern will persist into next week. A very moist
and unstable airmass with a slight weakness in the subtropical
ridge will help produce daily seabreeze storms over ne Fl/se Ga.
Scattered storms will become numerous over the interior where the
Gulf and Atlantic seabreeze fronts will merge by the early evening
hours. Temperatures will be near or just slightly above average
with above average storm chances for at least the first part of
the week. The upper ridge may shift northward into our area
Wednesday night into Thursday and this may draw up some drier air
which would result in more normal thunderstorm chances on
Thursday, especially across northeast Florida where drier air
aloft is possible.

&&

.AVIATION...Generally VFR conditions expected...except lower
conditions associated with scattered to numerous afternoon/early
evening SHRA/TSRA. Greatest coverage anticipated to be 20z-00z
period as sea breezes converge over inland TAF sites. Heavy rain
and gusty surface winds with storms.

&&

.MARINE...Surface ridge of high pressure will remain just S of our
waters...maintaining southerly 10-15kt winds and 2-4ft seas through
early next week.

.Rip Currents...Low risk expected through the weekend...but may be
briefly enhanced in typical threat areas...by piers...particularly
during afternoon sea breezes.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Isolated thunderstorms will develop by early afternoon along both
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as well as across inland southeast
Georgia. Through the afternoon and into the evening, thunderstorm
coverage will increase across inland areas with locally heavy
rainfall possible especially between Interstate 75 and Interstate

winds up to 50 mph and excessive lightning.

Thunderstorms will drift back toward the Atlantic coast this
evening, with a gradual decrease in coverage and intensity
through midnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Thunderstorms are possible each day. Locally heavy rainfall,
gusty winds and frequent lightning will be possible in the
strongest thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and evening.

High temperatures in the low to mid 90s this weekend and early
next week combined with high humidity will create heat index
values 100 to 105 degree.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
