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.
