Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 1:31 PM EDT, 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 131 PM EDT Tue Jun 29 2021 .AVIATION... [Through 18Z Wednesday] Storms are expected at KGNV over the next hour or so, with storms in the vicinity the rest of the afternoon. A few showers are possible near the east coast TAF sites through the period. Easterly winds 10-15 knots will prevail this afternoon, with winds diminishing overnight. East or east southeast winds around 10 knots are expected again by Wednesday afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION [951 AM EDT]... .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Much drier airmass in the wake of TD Danny has settled over most of SE GA/NE FL early this morning, but the High pressure ridge will set up north of the region and will slowly increase the Southeasterly steering flow, which will once again increase moisture levels across the area, firstly across NE FL today, with Precipitable Water Amounts (PWATs) closing in on 2 inches over inland NE FL, where numerous showers/storms are expected along the I-75 corridor of inland NE FL by the afternoon hours, while scattered showers/storms are expected for the remainder of NE FL as the East Coast sea breeze front pushes slowly inland. The lingering drier airmass across SE GA, where convection will more more widely scattered in nature this afternoon/evening. The lower coverage across inland SE GA will allow for Max Temps to reach into the lower 90s there, while most of inland NE FL will top out in the upper 80s/near 90, and Atlc coastal areas/I-95 corridor will top out in the middle/upper 80s. Storm motion will be towards the North-Northwest around 10-15 mph and the main impacts will continue to be locally heavy rainfall and minor flooding issues due to saturated soils, although the typical isolated strong storms with wind gusts to 40-50 mph can be expected by the mid- late afternoon hours over inland areas. The atmosphere continue to moisten overnight with onshore flow and low level convergence over the Atlc Coastal waters triggering more scattered showers and storms during the late night hours that will press towards the coast and expect more convection for the Atlantic Coastal counties and I-95 corridor for the early Wednesday morning hours. Typical overnight lows in the lower 70s inland and mid/upper 70s for the Atlc Coast. .SHORT TERM [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]... Ridge at the surface and aloft will be north of the area on Wednesday and over the area on Thursday as an upper trough over the Great Lakes begins to dig south. The steering flow will be from the southeast on Wednesday which will result in the best coverage of diurnal storms over inland areas as the east coast seabreeze moves well inland. The flow will become more southerly on Thursday which will slow the inland motion of the seabreeze producing better rain chances for coastal counties. PWATs will be at or above average which will help the potential for locally heavy rainfall in afternoon/evening storms. Temperatures will be close to average levels. .LONG TERM [Friday Through Monday]... An upper low/trough over the Great lakes will amplify over the eastern U.S. through the weekend. Meanwhile a cold front will drift se and stall just north of the area which will result in an increase of moisture across the area with PWATs exceeding 2 inches over especially se Ga. Vertical wind shear will increase as the sw flow becomes stronger at the low and mid levels. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected each day with the chance of locally heavy rainfall and a few strong storms possible this weekend. Daytime temperatures will be at or slightly below average. .MARINE... High pressure ridge has re-established north of the waters and East to Southeast flow in the 10-15 knot range will continue through Thursday with seas 3-5 ft, then as ridge axis slowly pushes south across the waters on Friday, winds become south around 10 knots with seas 2-4 ft, then over the weekend the ridge axis will settle south of the waters and Southwest flow develops in the 10-15 knot range with seas continuing in the 2-4 ft range. Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents continues in the onshore flow Today and Wednesday with surf/breakers in the 2 to 4 feet range. .HYDROLOGY... Minor River flooding continues on the Santa Fe Basin this week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... AMG 72 89 71 90 71 / 10 60 10 60 10 SSI 76 85 76 85 75 / 20 30 20 30 10 JAX 73 87 72 88 72 / 20 20 20 40 10 SGJ 75 87 74 86 73 / 30 30 20 40 10 GNV 72 88 71 87 72 / 20 70 30 70 20 OCF 72 88 71 88 72 / 40 70 30 70 20 && .JAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
