Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 4:10 PM EDT, 1 hour 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 410 PM EDT Mon Apr 8 2019 ...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO tUESDAY... .NEAR TERM (Through Tuesday night)... Closed low across northern La opens up and lifts Ne to the Carolinas by the end of the period which drags a positive tilted trough across the area by late Tuesday. Increasing south to SW flow ahead of the trough will advect moisture and instability...in addition to increasing bulk shear...resulting in increasing chances of strong to severe storms by late this afternoon into Tuesday. A line of showers and storms expected to move in from the gulf first affecting the Suwannee Valley and inland Se Ga this afternoon. Another cluster of storms expected to get going late this afternoon into early evening as what is left of the line of convection moving in from the gulf collides with addition storms associated with the east coast seabreeze. These storms will re-develop near U.S. Hwy 301 and move Ne over the St Johns River Basin and the coast late afternoon and early evening and gradually move offshore during the evening. Some of these storms may be strong to severe with strong winds and hail the main concerns. SPC has the entire area under a marginal risk of severe wx this afternoon and evening. There will tend to be a lull in activity from late this evening into the overnite with warm and muggy conditions prevailing with patchy low clouds and fog possible. While timing has slowed some...most high-res models continue to indicate a line of storms will get going and move across the area...first across the Suwannee Valley and inland Se Ga during the morning and across the remainder of the area late morning into the early afternoon. There will be some lull in activity in the afternoon as the dry slot moves in over the area. However...the concern is that there will be additional heating in the afternoon with the approach of the upper trough that could lead to the eruption of severe storms especially across Se Ga during the afternoon and early evening with damaging winds and hail the main concerns and SPC has a portion of Se Ga under a slight risk of severe weather with a marginal risk elsewhere. Slightly drier air begins to move in behind the cold front by late Tuesday night. .SHORT TERM (Wednesday-Thursday night)... A few showers possible Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the associated cold front moves through the remainder of the area as an area of high pressure builds in from the mid Atlantic providing Ne flow across the area on Wednesday. Winds quickly veer to Se Thursday as the high pushes east allowing for a return of moisture and a slight chance of inland storms on Thursday afternoon. .LONG TERM (Friday-Monday)... Fairly good agreement with High pressure on Friday continuing to move into the Western Atlantic and southerly flow with Highs warming back into the mid to upper 80s inland and near 80 along the coast with mainly dry conditions expected. High pressure continues in the western Atlantic this weekend into early next week while a series of decaying fronts move across the area. This leads to a continuation of warm and muggy conditions with scattered mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms. Above normal temps with highs well into the 80s inland and lower 80s at the coast. && .AVIATION...Breezy south to southeasterly flow will prevail this afternoon. An east coast sea breeze was moving inland this afternoon, and storms are forecast to develop across the interior and move towards the east coast TAF sites between 20Z and 23Z. Strong to severe storms are possible near the TAF sites, with storms then moving into the western Atlantic in the evening. A few showers could then move into the area overnight tonight. A squall line is forecast to develop west of the region overnight tonight and then move into area around dawn on Tuesday, impacting the TAF sites through the morning and into the early afternoon hours. && .MARINE...Winds will shift to out of the S-SW today with a chance for strong thunderstorm developments today and Tuesday as a cold front moves into the region from out of the west, completing its passage late Tuesday and early Wednesday, shifting the flow to onshore mid week. Small craft exercise caution offshore. Rip Currents: Low risk anticipated Tuesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
