...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

Early morning surface analysis depicts low pressure (1007
millibars) centered over the Tennessee Valley and the southern
Appalachians. This feature was situated along a frontal boundary
that was snaking its way from the lower Mississippi Valley, across
the Deep South, and through the Carolinas. Aloft...cutoff
troughing over the Tennessee Valley was expanding its influence
into the Deep South, while stout ridging remains centered near the
Rio Grande Valley along the Texas/Mexico border. A shortwave
trough embedded within the large cyclonic flow was progressing
southeastward across central and southeastern Alabama, and this
feature has sparked another round of widespread convection during
the predawn hours across our region. Stronger storms were
progressing across the I-75 corridor from Apalachee Bay and the
northeastern Gulf of Mexico through the Suwannee Valley as of 09Z.
Breezy southerly winds were in place across most of our area,
which was keeping temperatures and dewpoints generally in the low
to mid 70s, except near 80 along the southeast GA coast, which has
been mostly spared from overnight convection thus far.

&&

.NEAR TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

Cutoff troughing will dive southward towards our region this
afternoon and evening, driving a series of embedded shortwave
troughs across our area that will develop waves of convection over
the FL Big Bend and Nature coast that will move northeastward
throughout our area. The initial wave of convection currently
impacting a large portion of our area will shift offshore around
or shortly after sunrise. A southwesterly low-level jet around 35
knots at 850 millibars (around 5,000 feet) that is in place across
locations south of the Interstate 10 corridor could produce a few
strong to isolated severe thunderstorms before sunrise across
southern portions of the Suwannee Valley and north central FL,
with downburst winds up to 60 mph possible within stronger
activity. A few strong storms will be possible elsewhere for
coastal southeast GA and northeast FL early this morning. We
expect lower stratus and stratocumulus to then overspread much of
our region shortly after sunrise following the depart convection
departs, with breaks in the multi- layered cloudiness then
developing around the noon hour.

Short-term, high resolution guidance indicates that the next round
of convection will overspread northeast and north central FL
during the early to mid-afternoon hours, originating over the FL
Big Bend/Nature coast as the next shortwave trough embedded within
the cyclonic flow swings across the Deep South. A low level west-
southwesterly jet will remain positioned to the south of the I-10
corridor, where a few strong or isolated severe thunderstorms will
be possible, especially if breaks in the multi-layered cloudiness
develop and enhance available instability. Activity should also
expand in coverage across southeast GA later this afternoon as the
cutoff trough approaches, but speed shear will be lower across
these areas, likely limiting severe potential. Stronger storms
this afternoon for locations along and south of I-10 may produce
40-60 mph wind gusts on an isolated basis, along with torrential
downpours, frequent lightning strikes, and small hail. Breaks in
the cloud cover early this afternoon should boost highs to the mid
and possibly upper 80s before convective coverage and cloud cover
increases late this afternoon. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches will
be possible through tonight for locations south if I-10, with
locations north of I-10 generally experiencing 0.5 - 1 inch
amounts. Stronger activity will be capable of producing higher
rainfall amounts on a localized basis.

Convection may linger into the early evening hours beneath the
cutoff trough over southeast GA and along the I-10 corridor, but
models show a swath of drier air then briefly overspreading our
region overnight, which should create a lull in convective
coverage until the next shortwave trough approaches our area
during the predawn hours. Convection should then blossom over
Apalachee Bay and the FL Big Bend / Nature Coast during the
predawn hours, with activity likely expanding across southern
portions of the Suwannee Valley and north central FL towards
sunrise on Wednesday. Lows tonight will mostly fall to the lower
70s, with a few mid 70s possible at coastal locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Wednesday through Friday)
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

The period will feature daily rounds of thunderstorms as a frontal
boundary remains stalled across southern GA. As a mid/level
closed trough pinwheels over the southeast states Wednesday into
Friday, lobes of shortwave energy will traverse the base of the
trough from along the Gulf coast into the area. Along with warm,
moist southwest flow along and south of the stalled front, and
strong diurnal heating, the shortwave will enhance coverage of
convection during the afternoon as storms are initiated along the
Gulf and Atlantic coast seabreeze and persist into the evening
hours. Locally heavy rainfall amounts will be possible each day
from storms along with potential for strong winds gusts from wet
downbursts up to 40-60 mph.

Mostly cloudy skies will help to keep high temperatures a tad below
normal Wednesday into the mid 80s for most locations and upper 80s
near the southern St Johns river basin. Highs will increase Thursday
into Friday as more partly cloudy skies become common with near
normal readings around 90 degrees over the I-95 corridor of NE FL
with mid/upper 80s over SE GA and upper 80s over the suwannee
valley of NE FL.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through Monday)
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

High pressure will build in from the east late Friday into Saturday
before another weak cold frontal boundary sinks southeastward into
the area Sunday, then dissipate Monday as the mid/upper level
closed trough over the southeast states lifts north and opens into
a broad trough along the east coast. A slight decrease in
thunderstorm coverage is expected through the period as some
slightly drier air works into the region with scattered to
numerous coverage by Monday into Tuesday.

High temperatures will be near normal this weekend and slightly
above normal by Monday as overall cloud cover decreases.

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 754 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

TSRA/SHRA activity expected to continue through the early morning
hours for TAF sites. Guidance suggests a brief break in
convective activity. By 16Z TS activity will start to pick back up
and may bring impacts to area TAF sites through 00Z. Convection
is then expected to move away from the terminals by 02Z Wednesday,
with VFR conditions expected through at least 06Z. SHRA will
begin to move in again from the southwest near sunrise.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

Weak low pressure centered over the Tennessee Valley will shift
southward today, reaching the Florida panhandle by late afternoon.
This feature will then meander across the Deep South before
lifting northeastward across the Carolinas on Thursday night and
Friday. Breezy south-southwesterly winds will prevail through
Thursday, with waves of showers and thunderstorms traversing our
local waters into the upcoming weekend. Outside of thunderstorm
activity, speeds will remain at Caution levels of 15-20 knots offshore
through Thursday. A few strong to isolated severe thunderstorms
will be possible through Wednesday evening, with strong wind
gusts, frequent lightning strikes, and waterspouts possible within
stronger activity. Seas of 2-3 feet near shore today will build to
3-4 feet tonight as winds increase to Caution levels during an
evening wind surge. Seas of 3-4 feet offshore today will build to
Caution levels of 4-6 feet offshore tonight.

The axis of Atlantic ridging, centered near Bermuda, will then
build westward towards the Florida peninsula late this week and
this weekend, maintaining a prevailing south-southwesterly wind
flow across our local waters. Seas of 3-5 feet offshore on
Wednesday will subside to 2-3 feet by Saturday. Seas of 2-4 feet
will prevail near shore from midweek into the upcoming weekend.

Rip Currents: Prevailing south-southwesterly winds will result in
low wave heights and thus a low rip current risk at area beaches
through at least Wednesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 459 AM EDT Tue Jun 20 2023

Multiple rounds of convection through this evening should blanket
locations along and south the I-10 corridor with widespread 1-2
inch rainfall amounts, with locally higher totals possible.
Localized flooding will be possible, especially if downpours
train over urban or normally flood prone, low-lying locations.
Lesser rainfall amounts are expected for locations north of I-10
through Wednesday, where 0.5 to 1 inch amounts are forecast. The
Weather Prediction Center is currently advertising a Marginal
Risk (level 1 out of 4) of Excessive Rainfall through tonight,
with a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4) across western portions of
the Suwannee Valley and portions of inland southeast GA on
Wednesday and Thursday. We are holding off on Flood Watches at
this time due the expected isolated risk of flooding, but a Flood
Watch may be needed for our western counties beginning tomorrow or
Thursday as soils become more saturated.
