Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
901 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019
.Update.../through this evening/...
The region is between high pressure to the east and an approaching
cold front to the west this morning. A tight pressure gradient
between these two features is resulting in gusty winds. The front,
with a line of strong to severe storms along it is expected to
reach western counties this morning, then track fairly quickly
east across the region. The line is expected to reach the I95
corridor between 1 PM and 4 PM. The combination of the winds
available in lower levels, and speed of this line, will likely
maintain strong to severe intensity to the storms across the
forecast area. In addition, a few tornadoes will be possible
embedded in this line. Locally heavy rainfall is also expected.
Gusty winds will continue behind this main line with isolated to
scattered showers.
Highs are expected to range from the mid 70s inland to the mid
80s east.
&&
.AVIATION...
MVFR ceilings will prevail through around 15Z. Sustained
southerly surface winds will quickly increase to 20-25
knots at the regional terminals by 14Z, with frequent
gusts to 35-40 knots well before thunderstorms impact
the terminals. Southerly winds will also quickly increase
to 50 knots at around 2000 feet by 15Z. A squall line of
severe thunderstorms will approach GNV shortly after 17Z
and will impact the remainder of the terminals during
the 18Z-20Z time frame. Wind gusts in excess of 50 knots
will be possible within stronger activity that impacts the
terminals, with a brief period of IFR conditions expected
as the line moves through. MVFR ceilings and light showers
will be possible in the wake of the squall line through
around 21Z-23Z. Surface winds will shift to southwesterly
by 21Z, with sustained speeds decreasing to 10-20 knots.
