The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at May 11, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 11, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 330 PM EDT Tue May 11 2021 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... A qausi-stationary frontal boundary is stalled just north of our area, with short wave troughs rolling across what is otherwise mostly zonal flow aloft. Winds are predominantly out of the west with areas east of the St Johns river experiencing a wind shift to out of the east this afternoon. This westerly flow has allowed scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop across NE FL with the Gulf Coast seabreeze. These west winds are also keeping the East Coast seabreeze pinned near the coast line. Later this evening, we may also see storms moving with or developing along outflow boundaries from storms in S-central GA closer to the frontal boundary. Strong storms are possible this afternoon and evening, with the primary threats being strong winds and small hail. High temperatures for today will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s for inland areas and in the mid to lower 80s along the coastline. Lows tonight will be in the mid-upper 60s, around 70 along the coastline. .SHORT TERM [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]... The front to our north will sink south to near the FL-GA line on Wednesday evening, and south of our area overnight Wednesday night. For most of the day, we'll be ahead of the front, staying warm with temperatures in the 80s and low 90s and with afternoon ML CAPE values peaking around 500-1000 J/kg, and bulk shear peaking out around 35 knots. We'll unstable enough to produce a few strong to severe thunderstorms, the main threats being damaging wind gusts and small hail. A much cooler airmass will move into the region behind Wednesday night's front, but an upper level trough will dig into the southeast, helping develop an inverted coastal trough off to our east. Strong northeasterly flow through Thursday night with this coastal trough setup will keep rounds of scattered showers in the forecast through Thursday night. Temperatures will be significantly cooler, with highs in the low-mid 60s in SE GA and highs in the 70s across NE FL. Overnight lows will range from the low-mid 50s in SE GA to upper 50s-low 60s in NE FL Thursday night. .LONG TERM [Friday Through Tuesday]... The upper level trough will push off the mid-Atlantic coastline Friday, shifting that inverted trough away from our coastline. As a result, northeasterly winds will gradually lower in speed as we move into the weekend. Low level ridging will build in over the eastern CONUS over the weekend, bringing us a nice weekend. The ridge will roll off the east coast early next week, bringing a return of southeasterly flow and likely some seabreeze thunderstorms. Temperatures will progressively warm from the 70s Friday back to the 80s for the weekend, with upper 80s to low 90s returning next week. Likewise lows will warm from the 50s Friday night back into the 60s over the weekend and hover there through most of next week. && .AVIATION... [Through 18Z Wednesday] A cold front to the north of the waters will slowly sink south towards the waters through Wednesday. The front will move into the Georgia waters during the early evening hours on Wednesday...and across the northeast Florida waters Wednesday night. Winds will shift to the northeast and increase along with building seas behind the front. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected Wednesday night through Friday. && .MARINE... A cold front to the north of the waters will slowly sink south towards the waters through Wednesday night, moving past the Georgia waters Wednesday evening...and across the northeast Florida waters Wednesday night. Winds will shift to the northeast and increase along with building seas behind the front. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected Wednesday night through Friday. Rip Currents: Low risk today, moderate risk on Wednesday at all area beaches. .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
