A warm front lifted north of the Altamaha River basin placing the entire forecast area with the warm sector of an approaching mid level trough. A cluster of nearly stationary heavy rainfall producing storms lingered over Appling and Jeff Davis counties which caused extensive road washouts. Schools were closed in both counties one day due to poor road conditions after the heavy rainfall. Several roads were closed and impassable for a couple days due to areal flooding.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
440 PM EDT SUN APR 12 2015
...UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS WEEK...
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPED ALONG THE FL/GA BORDER.
NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS STREAM NORTH
OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS INTERIOR SE GA AS ANOTHER MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE RIDES ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. FURTHER SOUTH
SEABREEZE/SMALL SCALE BOUNDARIES WILL INTERACT WITH THE
NEARBY FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS AFTN/EARLY EVENING RESULTING IN
NUMEROUS SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSTMS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL
DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET...WITH DRY CONDITIONS AREA WIDE AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WITH LOW/MID DECK CLOUDS LIKELY PERSISTING...DO NOT
EXPECT ORGANIZED DENSE FOG. ANOTHER WARM MUGGY NIGHT IN STORE
WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID/UPPER 60S.
MONDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE PATTERN...WITH THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY NUDGING NORTH INTO SE GA. THE FRONT...ALONG WITH
CONTINUED MOIST FLOW AND AFTERNOON SEABREEZE INTERACTIONS WILL
RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS.
NO ORGANIZED STRONG/SEVERE TSTMS EXPECTED. HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO
MID 80S WILL PREVAIL.
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...AS
A SHORTWAVE EJECTS NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE
PLAINS STATES...WHILE ATLANTIC RIDGING BUILDS WESTWARD ACROSS THE FL
PENINSULA. WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST/NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY ALONG A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL WANE ACROSS NORTHEAST FL
AND COASTAL SOUTHEAST GA ON MONDAY EVENING. WE LEFT WIDELY SCATTERED
POPS IN THE FORECAST GRIDS THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME AND EARLY MORNING
HOURS ON TUESDAY FOR INLAND SOUTHEAST GA...AS CONVECTION MAY LINGER
WITH MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES POSSIBLY MOVING INTO THIS AREA FROM MORE
WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LOWS WILL REMAIN 10-
15 DEGREES ABOVE MID-APRIL CLIMO...WITH HUMID CONDITIONS AND CLOUDS
KEEPING MINIMUMS IN THE 65-70 DEGREE RANGE.
A PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MAY
DEVELOP MORNING CONVECTION OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR REGION ON
TUESDAY. THIS ACTIVITY MAY BECOME WIDESPREAD AS IT MOVES TOWARDS
COASTAL LOCATIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WARMER OFFSHORE FLOW
SHOULD RESULT IN HIGHS REACHING THE 80S REGION-WIDE...BUT THIS IS
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON TIMING OF DIURNAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE OF THE CAROLINAS ON TUESDAY EVENING...A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO SINK SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHEAST GA.
HOWEVER...SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHOULD DEPART OUR AREA...WITH DIURNAL
ACTIVITY WANING BY EARLY EVENING AND ONLY ISOLATED POPS USED
OVERNIGHT IN SOUTHEAST GA. LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE 65-70 RANGE.
A SIMILAR WEATHER PATTERN WILL PREVAIL FOR WEDNESDAY...AS SHORTWAVE
ENERGY ADVECTS OVER OUR REGION AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS OVER
SOUTHEAST GA DUE TO SURFACE RIDGING WEDGING SOUTHWARD FROM THE MID-
ATLANTIC STATES. WIDESPREAD MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED...PERHAPS WITH A FOCUS ALONG INTERSTATE 95
AND THE ST. JOHNS RIVER BASIN AS DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL E/SE FLOW
PUSHES A SEA BREEZE INLAND. COASTAL HIGHS WILL LIKELY BE HELD TO THE
MID/UPPER 70S DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE...WITH HIGHS INLAND GENERALLY 80-
85. ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY MAY CONTINUE TO IMPACT OUR REGION ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND WE THUS LEFT SCATTERED POPS IN THE FORECAST
GRIDS...EXCEPT NUMEROUS NEAR THE ALTAMAHA RIVER ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE 60S.
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A DEEP TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTHWARD FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO
THE ROCKIES ON THURS...AND WILL THEN TURN EASTWARD THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL KEEP A
PERSISTENT AND MOIST WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN IN PLACE LOCALLY.
MEANWHILE...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL OVER OUR REGION
THURS...AND WILL THEN LIFT NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT FRI WELL IN
ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT THAT IS PROGGED TO ENTER THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES BY SAT. THIS WILL KEEP A RATHER WET FORECAST IN
PLACE...AS PERIODIC SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST AND CROSSES OUR REGION. TIMING THIS ENERGY THIS FAR IN ADVANCE
IS DIFFICULT...AND WE WILL THUS USE A DIURNAL POP DISTRIBUTION IN
THE FORECAST GRIDS...WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS MAINLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING CONVECTION EXPECTED THURS WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
NEARBY...AND SCATTERED COVERAGE FOR FRI AND SAT. LONG-TERM MODELS
CONTINUE TO DISAGREE ON THE SPEED OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT THAT WILL
BE APPROACHING OUR AREA LATE NEXT WEEKEND FROM THE WEST. WILL KEEP
SCATTERED MAINLY DIURNAL-TYPE POPS IN PLACE FOR NEXT SUN UNTIL MORE
CONSISTENCY IS REACHED IN THE LONG TERM MODEL SOLUTIONS. HIGHS WILL
GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER 70S OVER SOUTHEAST GA AND COASTAL
LOCATIONS TO THE LOW/MID 80S OVER INLAND NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
FL THURS AND FRI...WARMING INTO THE 80S REGION-WIDE AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING FRONT NEXT WEEKEND. LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE 60S.
&&
.AVIATION...
LOW END VFR/AREAS OF MVFR CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTN INTO EARLY
EVENING WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS. WILL USE
PREVAILING -SHRA FOR MOST SITES...WITH VCTS FOR THE TSTMS.
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH VFR PREVAILING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT. SOME LOW CLOUDS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE OVERNIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING...WITH MVFR LIKELY ESPECIALLY AT JAX/CRG/VQQ.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS UNDER CAUTION CRITERIA CAN GENERALLY BE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE WEEK. SOUTH WINDS COULD APPROACH SCEC MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY.
RIP CURRENTS: LOW RISK TODAY. LOW TO MODERATE RISK MONDAY.
