.PREV DISCUSSION [826 PM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

The first round of storms has pushed offshore, and we should see
a brief break in activity before storms pick up again in an hour
or two. The risk for severe storms will continue overnight into
Thursday ahead of an approaching cold front, the highest risk for
severe storms will be along and north of the I-10 corridor this
evening. The main severe hazards will be damaging winds and hail,
but an isolated tornado can't be ruled out with 30-40 kts of 0-6
km bulk shear and 100-200 m2/s2 of 0-3 km storm relative helicity.
As the cold front moves closer to the area late tonight, storms
will organize into a more linear pattern and progress from northwest
to southeast across the area.

Low temperatures tonight will range from the middle 60s in inland
SE GA to near 70 in North Central FL and along the FL coast.

.SHORT TERM [Thursday Through Friday Night]...

Thursday, a cold front will move southeast across the area as a
deep upper level trough shifts over the eastern US. Lines of
showers and storms ahead of the front are expected to push
southeast through the morning and afternoon. Some storms may be
severe with the main hazards being damaging winds and hail.
Precipitation chances will end from north to south as the front
progresses, ending for SE GA by early afternoon and NE FL by early
evening. Behind the front, skies will clear and drier, cooler air
will filter into the region. High temperatures will be able to
reach the middle 70s to lower 80s ahead of the front. Thursday
night lows will be much cooler than the previous night ranging
from the upper 40s in inland SE GA to the middle 50s in North
Central FL.

Friday will be cooler, breezy, and sunny. Winds will pick up from
the west as high pressure builds over the Gulf of Mexico and
strengthens the pressure gradient across the Southeast. With
drier air in place and breezy winds, elevated fire danger
conditions may be possible Friday afternoon. Winds will decrease
slightly overnight, but pick up again after sunrise on Saturday.
Highs will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s, and lows will range
from the lower 40s to the lower 50s.

.LONG TERM [Saturday Through Wednesday]...

High pressure will remain over the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and
breezy winds will continue. Elevated fire danger conditions will
be possible again Saturday afternoon. High pressure will move
overhead on Sunday, then shift to the northeast into the Atlantic
early next week. Dry weather is expected through the long term
period with only slight chances of showers starting to nudge into
the western edge of our forecast area Wednesday night as the next
frontal system approaches. This system is expected to impact the
area late next week.

Cool temperatures will continue Saturday and Sunday, then
temperatures will gradually warm up through the end of the period
thanks to southeasterly flow. Saturday night will be the coldest
this period with lows in the upper 30s to middle 40s.

.MARINE...

A cold front will approach from the northwest tonight then move
across the waters on Thursday. Showers and storms will be possible
through Thursday, some storms may be severe with damaging winds
and hail. Elevated winds and seas are expected as the cold front
passes, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect from late tonight
through late Thursday afternoon for the offshore waters. Gusty
winds are expected to develop behind the front Thursday evening
through Saturday as high pressure builds over the Gulf. High
pressure will move overhead on Sunday, and winds will diminish.
High pressure will shift to the northeast early next week.

Rip Currents: Low risk at all area beaches through Thursday.

.FIRE WEATHER...

Showers and storms expected for the rest of today and overnight
into Thursday ahead of an approaching cold front. Some storms may
be strong to severe. Elevated nighttime dispersions expected
tonight. The cold front will push south across the area on
Thursday, and precipitation will end from north to south through
the afternoon. Dry and breezy conditions behind the front will
lead to near critical fire weather conditions north of I-10 Friday
and Saturday.
