Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 3:50 PM EDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 350 PM EDT Thu Jul 20 2017 .NEAR TERM... Rest of the afternoon into Tonight...isolated to scattered convection expected with isolated storms strong to possibly severe given the amount of instabilty that is building up. SBCAPE noted peaking out around 3500-4000 J/kg and DCAPE of about 1000 J/kg. Activity should be moving roughly south to southwest at about 10 knots. Main threats will be brief damaging wind gust and some hail. Activity should be winding down by 11 pm or so as the low levels continue to cool. Some guidance suggests indicates patchy fog over NE FL and mentioned some fog near the I-75 corridor late tonight. Lows in the lower to mid 70s. Upper level low, off the NE FL coast, is expected to be moving through NE FL this evening and begin to drift slowly west Friday. Friday...sfc ridge stays to our south, while mid to upper level low drifts west toward the FL panhandle/SW GA/SE AL later in the day. Better forcing associated with being on the eastern side of the upper level combined with sufficient moisture, though only near the average for July at about 1.7 inches will lead to scattered aftn showers and storms again. Best favored areas will be around the I-75 corridor up into inland SE GA. Highs will be in the lower to mid 90s. .SHORT TERM /Saturday and Sunday/... Our area will be between upper low to our west and upper high to our east. Steering flow will become southwesterly. Hot and humid conditions will prevail, especially on Saturday with lower than normal thunderstorm activity expected. Isolated to widely scattered storms on Saturday shifting east during the day and continuing deep into the evening hours. Convection will become more scattered to numerous on Sunday across northeast Florida. .LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/... Model blend yields at or below normal temps early in the week, then at or slightly below normal by mid to late week as thunderstorm coverage increases with upper low moving back into the region. Light offshore flow will continue through the week. Scattered storms expected early in the week becoming numerous Wednesday and Thursday, especially along and north of the I-10 corridor. && .AVIATION... A few showers and storms expected around the TAF sites rest of the aftn except probably not for SGJ and CRG as the east coast sea breeze has moved well inland. Showers and storms will end through the late evening, with prevailing VFR continuing. Some fog may sneak into GNV late tonight but lower confidence suggests to leave out at this time. Another round of showers and storms Friday mainly in aftn. && .MARINE... Surface ridge axis will remain south of the area through early next week. We expect southwest flow through Saturday then becoming southeast as the Atlantic sea breeze develops. Seas will generally remain in the 2 to 4 foot range with winds and seas below Small Craft Exercise Caution criteria. Somewhat stronger southwest flow Sunday through early next week may mute the east coast sea breeze a bit...as a sfc trough and front push into the Carolinas and possibly north GA. Rip Currents: Mainly low risk, though rip currents will be more prevalent around piers and jetties. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... AMG 73 95 73 95 / 20 30 20 20 SSI 77 90 76 91 / 0 20 10 20 JAX 73 93 73 93 / 0 30 10 30 SGJ 75 90 75 91 / 0 20 20 20 GNV 73 93 72 92 / 20 30 20 30 OCF 72 93 72 91 / 40 40 20 40 && .JAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
