Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 3:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 350 PM EDT Fri Jul 27 2018 .NEAR TERM (Through Saturday night)... Convection rather sparse this afternoon due to short wave ridging and slightly drier air (lower PW) over the area. Isolated storms possible this eve...out ahead of stationary front...across Se Ga and along the east coast as seabreezes converge. Any storms that manage to get going will fade out after the loss of heating. Pops increase again on Saturday as the short wave ridge moves offshore and a short wave trough moves into Se Ga leading to a more moist and unstable Sw flow. Should be more coverage of storms...as a result... with highest pops across inland Se Ga...near the stationary front...and between I-95 and U.S. Hwy 301 in Ne Fl where seabreezes and outflows merge. .SHORT TERM (Sunday-Monday night)... The deep layer western Atlantic ridge will move further north and be positioned over N Fl by Sunday resulting in a weaker southwest flow which enables west and east coast sea breezes to trigger convection in the aftn. Overall...not much change to the pattern. Highs mainly in the lower 90s again. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday-Friday)... The deep layer western Atlantic ridge builds further west with the axis just north of the area by the end of the period. There is more than enough moisture with PWATs likely to be near or above normal along with aftn sea breeze boundaries to keep at least scattered showers and storms each day. Pops will tend to be somewhat higher across the western half of the area each day. Daytime temps will average near to slightly below normal each day. && .AVIATION...Isolated storms possible the remainder of the afternoon as seabreezes converge inland. Have VCTS at most terminals (except GNV) til around 00Z-01Z. Otherwise prevailing VFR. && .MARINE...Surface ridge will build over the waters through early next week. South winds generally 10 to 15 knots increasing to around 15 knots offshore early next week. Winds southeast near shore during the afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 feet near shore and 3 to 5 feet offshore. A brief period of exercise caution possible offshore Tuesday night. Scattered mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Rip Currents: A moderate risk through Saturday due to a persistent long period swell. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
