Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
131 AM EDT Wed May 13 2020

.AVIATION...
[Through 06Z Thursday]

Prevailing VFR conditions expected through the forecast period
although there is low potential for restrictions this morning near
VQQ and possibly JAX due to shallow ground fog. Based on persistence,
continued with TEMPO MVFR for VQQ through 11z. After sunrise,
gusty east winds increase through late morning with gusts up to
20-25 kts possible with higher gusts at coastal terminals.
Expect more cumulus development this afternoon with a low
potential for restrictions to MVFR as clouds press inland through
the afternoon. Winds relax this evening after sunset, but will
remain elevated 10-13 kts at coastal terminals through the night.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION [752 PM EDT]...

.Short Term.../through Thursday/...

High pressure will build from the north to the northeast of the
region this afternoon, and remain to the northeast through Thursday.
This pattern will provide for a prolonged period of onshore flow.
While cloud cover will be expected due to the moist flow,
precipitation is not expected. A little moderation in temperatures
is expected this period. With the onshore flow moving over the
coastal waters, readings at night will be warmest near the coast,
while readings during the day will be coolest at the coast.

.Long Term.../Thursday night through Tuesday/...

High pressure will stretch across the region from high pressure to
the east northeast Thursday night into Friday. Models diverge on
development and track of a northeastward moving low pressure system
which is expected to pass east of the region over the weekend into
early next week. GFS is much faster with the low, and well to the
east. ECMWF is slower and closer to the area. At this point, showers
expected in the onshore flow pattern across NE FL Friday into
Saturday. Depending on how fast the low moves away and how close it
passes will help determine weather into early next week. If the low
moves away faster as with GFS, could have cold front move into
region with convection early in the week. The slower solution
keeps high pressure ridge extending south across forecast area,
with heat providing diurnal instability for convection.

Expecting a warming trend through this period.

.Marine...

High pressure will be north of the region Today, then to the
northeast Tonight through Saturday, with a prolonged period of
onshore flow expected. As low pressure develops to the south, and
tracks to the east of the region later in the period, elevated
seas will be possible.

Rip Currents: SE GA: Moderate Wednesday
              NE FL: High Wednesday
