Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 2:18 PM EDT, 4 hours 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 218 PM EDT Tue Aug 28 2018 .Near Term.../through Wednesday/... High pressure will be centered to the Northeast this period. Convection is expected to focus inland this afternoon, as that area has been largely cloud free this morning, allowing destabilization. In addition, with the cloud shield over the coast, a differential heating boundary could enhance this activity as the boundary pushes West in the flow. With loss of heating, convection will dissipate inland Tonight, while activity initiates over the relatively warmer Western Atlantic waters. These showers could provide for coastal showers Overnight into Wednesday morning. The coastal showers will push inland and strengthen into storms Wednesday. This activity will then slowly move to the West through the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. Above normal temperatures Tonight, with near normal readings expected for Wednesday. && .Short Term.../Wednesday night through Saturday/... High pressure will remain centered to the Northeast this period, yielding a continued onshore flow pattern. In this pattern expect shower activity focused near the coast in the morning hours, with activity moving inland through the day and strengthening into thunderstorms for the afternoon and evening hours. Much of the day time convection which develops will dissipate at night with loss of diurnal heating. A few coastal showers will be possible each night. High temperatures will trend near normal this period, with above normal lows. && .Long Term.../Saturday night through Tuesday/... High pressure will remain centered to the Northeast this period. This will continue the moist onshore flow pattern, with morning coastal showers and afternoon and evening inland showers and storms. The long term models depict a wave or possible low moving near or over South Florida in the Monday into Tuesday timeframe. The proximity of this system could lead to increased precipitation chances late this period. Highs will trend near normal this period, with lows generally above normal. && .Marine... High pressure will be centered to the Northeast through the weekend, yielding a prevailing onshore flow. Rip Currents: Moderate risk through at least Thursday. && .AVIATION... Prevailing easterly flow increasing this afternoon with just light stratiform rain impacting coastal terminals in the wake of morning storms. Showers and thunderstorms were starting to pop farther inland between the Highway 301 and I-75 corridors, with a TEMPO group included for TS at GNV through early evening. Coastal terminals will see improving conditions through the evening as rain gradually tappers off, however, another batch of rainfall offshore of the Cape could near SGJ between 00-06Z this evening, and included VCSH for this terminal. After midnight, more coastal shower and isolated t'storm development is expected which could bring restrictions in rainfall through 12Z Wed to SSI, CRG and SGJ. Farther inland, MVFR due to shallow ground fog is possible near VQQ and GNV, but confidence low at this time so refrained from inclusion in TAF. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
