Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 4:16 PM EDT, 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL Issued by National Weather Service New Orleans LA 416 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2020 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Convection firing along the sea breeze boundary, as well as along a boundary running from about Savannah to Cross City. Southeast of the boundary, dew points in the 70s, while low to mid 60s to the northwest of it. Morning sounding was near 1.5 pinche precipitable water, while Tallahassee was near 1 inch. Been some hail reported in southeast Georgia with these storms. Would expect evening dissipation as usual, with near normal temps expected. .SHORT TERM [Saturday Through Sunday Night]... Drier air gradually works into the area...moreso on Sunday than tomorrow. Scattered convection still possible as northern stream trough continues to slide east, along with the usual Gulf and Atlantic sea breeze collisions. Will need to monitor high temps, especially on Sunday as cloud cover and humidities will be lower. .LONG TERM [Monday Through Friday]... No major changes made to previous forecast, so the morning discussion is still relevant...as follows. The dry and subsident air mass will begin to erode by Monday afternoon as southwesterly low and mid level flow gradually strengthens downstream of an upstream trough that will be digging southeastward through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Widely scattered convection may develop late on Monday afternoon and through the early evening hours across the southern portions of the St. Johns River basin, where deeper moisture will reside and sea breezes are expected to collide, with only isolated coverage elsewhere. Highs on Monday and Tuesday will climb to the mid 90s inland and around 90 at the Atlantic coast, with afternoon heat index values of 100-105. Diurnal convective coverage will then gradually increase, with widely scattered afternoon and evening convection on Tuesday and then scattered to numerous coverage for Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Activity could linger well into the evening hours beginning around midweek as temperatures aloft begin to cool off and deeper moisture overspreads our area from west to east. Thunderstorms along the I-95 corridor will likely pulse and become strong as activity intersects a pinned Atlantic sea breeze boundary. Prevailing west-southwest low and mid level flow will result in continued hot temperatures before afternoon convection develops, with low to mid 90s expected region-wide on Wednesday and Thursday. Increasing humidity levels will drive heat index values up towards 105 degrees by midweek. Lows next week will remain in the 70s. && .AVIATION... [Through 18Z Saturday] Handling direct impacts to terminals by TSRA with amendments, and expect most convection to dissipate by 01-02z. Convection Saturday will probably only be just getting going by the end of the 18z period. Only mention of restricted visibilities overnight for now is at KVQQ, where 3SM BR is mentioned. && .MARINE... Main issue will be convective development, with prevailing winds remaining 10-15 knots or lower with seas 2-4 feet. The days with the least convection will be Sunday/Monday. && .FIRE WEATHER... Hot temperatures and less thunderstorm coverage this weekend will result in minimum relative humidity values falling to near 40 percent at all inland locations on Saturday and Sunday. Light westerly transport winds are forecast on Saturday, with gradually strengthening southwesterly transport winds forecast on Sunday, resulting in good dispersion values for inland locations. The Atlantic and Gulf coast sea breezes will move well inland both days, resulting in onshore winds sustained at 10-15 mph at coastal locations during the afternoon hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... AMG 68 90 71 93 72 / 20 30 10 20 10 SSI 72 87 74 89 74 / 10 20 10 10 10 JAX 70 92 72 93 72 / 10 40 10 20 10 SGJ 70 87 72 90 73 / 10 30 10 10 10 GNV 69 92 69 94 70 / 30 30 10 20 10 OCF 70 92 71 93 72 / 30 20 10 30 10 && .JAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
