Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 231 PM EDT SAT SEP 10 2016 .NEAR TERM.../THROUGH SUNDAY/... Convection has initiated on both the East coast and West coast sea breezes this afternoon, aided by diurnal instability. While moisture has increased it is still fairly limited, which will limit coverage. Could see a stronger storm develop later this afternoon near the Interstate 75 corridor as the sea breezes collide. High pressure ridge will build from the Northeast to East of the region Tonight into Sunday, with a weak trough to the Northwest. This afternoons convection will dissipate early this evening with loss of diurnal heating. A few patches of fog will be possible overnight inland. With the high to the East tomorrow, expect the East coast sea breeze to push further inland, with most convection focused near the coast late morning...then well inland for the afternoon. Temperatures will trend a little above normal this period. && .SHORT TERM.../SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Sunday night...Isolated to widely scattered early evening storms are possible mainly across the far south reaches of the CWA and also near the I-75 corridor. Min temps will be warmer with lows in the lower 70s inland to the mid to upper 70s along the coast and St Johns River Basin. Monday and Monday Night...An uninterrupted easterly flow regime from the sfc to 500 mb layer as models indicate tropical moisture begins surge back north across the area (with PWs increasing between 1.5 and 2.0") as a tropical wave begins to approach the Fl peninsula. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are anticipated for all areas with best rain chances during the afternoon and early eve which will correspond to heating and the east coast seabreeze pushing inland. Showers and thunderstorms may be more numerous across the southern tier of the CWA. Max temps will be held down somewhat...especially near the coast where the onshore flow will keep max temps there to the upper 80s. Areas well inland will still manage to reach the lower 90s. Most heat indices will be between 95 to 97 degrees during Monday afternoon. There will be nocturnal isolated showers and thunderstorms during the evening due to moist air mass and easterly flow pushing showers inland. && .LONG TERM.../TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Relatively high precip chances through the period with deep layer E/NE flow prevailing lending to deep moisture advection keeping precipitable water values in the 2.00"-2.25" range for much of the week. As a result...rain chances will remain elevated much of next week. A tropical wave moves into the eastern GOM while another strong surface high gets established across New England then southward into the mid Atlantic. This results in a continued fetch of tropical moisture with persistent onshore flow as we go deeper in the week for scattered to numerous showers and storms. Max temps will be tempered especially by mid week onward due to increased cloud cover and showers. && .AVIATION... A few showers and storms will be possible over NE FL this afternoon, possibly affecting the KGNV TAF site. Otherwise prevailing VFR conditions will be expected through this evening. Patchy fog will develop inland Tonight...mainly affecting the KGNV and KVQQ sites. && .MARINE... High pressure will be East Northeast of the region through the next week. This will result in a prolonged period of onshore flow. RIP CURRENTS: Low Risk Georgia and Moderate Risk Florida through Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
