Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 2:17 PM EDT, 5 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 217 PM EDT Wed Jun 27 2018 .Near term.../through Friday/... The region will be between high pressure to the South and a trough of low pressure to the North this period. This will result in a continued light West/Southwest low level flow. Each afternoon, diurnal instability will lead to the development of convection. In this pattern the East coast sea breeze will be able to push inland, but likely not much further than I95, while the Gulf sea breeze should be able to push well into NE FL. These sea breezes will help to support development and direct movement of the convective activity this afternoon. In addition, the proximity of the troughing will aid in convective potential over inland GA as well. Near term model depicting energy pushing South from this boundary through the evening continuing convective potential through around midnight. Temperatures are expected to trend above normal this period, with heat indices rising into the 100 to around 105 range each afternoon. && .Short Term.../Friday night through Sunday/... High pressure will be East of the region this period, resulting in a mostly light Southerly low level flow. This flow should provide additional moisture for convection. Convection will be initiated each afternoon by diurnal instability, with ample moisture available. The convection will be aided by sea breeze boundaries near the coasts. In general expect a higher than normal coverage in afternoon/evening storms this period. Most convective activity will dissipate in the evening hours, but given the expected increased coverage, could see a few storms linger past midnight. Highs will trend near normal this period, with heat indices peaking each afternoon near to slightly above 100. && .Long Term.../Sunday night through Wednesday/... Surface high pressure ridge will build from the East to the Northeast this period. The prevailing low level flow will be from the South, with input from the both the East coast and Gulf sea breezes. Convection will initiate each afternoon and evening due to diurnal instability with additional focus on sea breeze boundaries. Convection will largely dissipate during the evenings, with partial overnight clearing. Near to slightly above normal temperatures are expected this period, with afternoon heat indices around 100 to a little above. && .Marine... Surface high pressure will be South of area waters with troughing to the North through Friday. The high will then be to the East through the weekend, and toward the Northeast early next week. The potential for thunderstorms will exist through this period. && Sea breeze front convergence over north Florida and southeast Georgia has been somewhat capped with a few cells blowing though the cap near KGNV and over the Ocala National Forest area. Ceilings near CBs are running in the 3 to 5 kft range and expect that to continue this afternoon into this evening with convection in tempo groups for all fields between 18 and 24 utc. We then take a bit of a breather after the loss of diurnal heating as a squall line forms in central Georgia and drops southward. Both the HRRR and ARW models have this feature even though NAM20 doesn't model it well. Looking for that line to drop through KSSI between 02-06 utc, the JAX metro fields between 04 and 08 utc and Gainesville between 06 to 09 utc. As the line will be bowing as it comes through the area looking for strong potential wind gusts of 25 to 40 kts at all fields but pulled it back to 15 to 30 kts at KGNV as the line begins to break up. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
