...Potential for severe weather and flooding through Monday...

.UPDATE...
Stalled frontal boundary across SE GA continues to provide
numerous showers and storms with isolated strong to severe storms
possible through the night as plenty of instability to support
localized supercell activity. Flooding rainfall will continue to
be possible across SE GA through the night and edge towards the
FL/GA border towards morning and Flood Watch remains in effect.
Most of NE FL will remain in the warm sector overnight and will be
unstable enough to trigger showers at any time, otherwise near
record warmth expected with lows in the lower 70s for NE FL and
mid/upper 60s for SE GA. On Monday...frontal boundary will begin
to slowly shift further SE with heavy rainfall and severe storm
potential shifting into NE FL by the late morning and afternoon
hours while SE GA will start to see a decrease in showers/storms
by the afternoon. Temps and humidity levels will continue near
record levels for early December with Max Temps in the lower to
middle 70s across SE GA and upper 70s/lower 80s for NE FL.

&&

.AVIATION...
Moist airmass in place is suggesting widespread IFR development at
NE FL TAF sites, while SSI will continue to deal with tempo TSTM
activity. Widespread MVFR CIGS with showers and storms to impact
all TAF sites through the day on Monday with TEMPO IFR CIGS/VSBYS
with gusty winds possible if storms directly impact the terminal.

&&

.MARINE...
South to Southwest Flow at 10-15 knots nearshore with seas 2-4 ft
and slightly higher winds to 15-20 knots offshore with seas 3-5 ft
and will keep Small Craft Exercise Caution headline in place. More
strong to severe storms expected to push into the waters ahead of
the approaching cold front on Monday along with SW winds of 10-20
knots and seas 2-5 ft.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Another 2-4 inches with locally higher amounts possible across SE
GA through Monday Morning and will keep Flood Watch in place for
now. Some model trends showing heavy pcpn of 2-3 inches across
Suwannee River Valley of inland North FL possible Monday Morning
and may need to tweak Flood Watch southward but will see what 00z
model runs advertise and allow mid shift to expand if necessary.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Record Early December Humidity help to feed severe storms today
and set record high Dewpoints at Gainesville (74F) and Jacksonville
(73F). See Record Event Reports (RERGNV/RERJAX) for details.

Record High Dewpoints for December 3rd...
