Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
941 PM EST Tue Feb 14 2017
...Windy with Strong to Severe T'storms Possible on Wednesday...
.UPDATE...
The forecast area remains in the warm sector ahead of an approaching
cold front and sfc low. The low pressure system was located in LA
with trailing cold front southwest into the western Gulf of
Mexico. As the system translates eastward tonight...increasingly
moist southwest flow expected above the sfc with a period of low
clouds beginning later tonight and continue into early Wednesday
morning. A few showers near the outer coastal waters this evening
will continue to push eastward and out of the area...while there
is a slight chance for showers moving in late tonight over the
western zones as deep layer moisture moves into GA and the FL
panhandle. A few tweaks to the forecast tonight for the above
normal low temps which will range from mid 50s north zones to
upper 50s to lower 60s elsehwere. Have trimmed POPs a bit but
keeping a slight chance over the Suwannee Valley and portions of
SE GA after 06z tonight as some patches of rain may move out ahead
of the main prefrontal trough approaching. Any tstms are expected
to be on Wednesday as instability/forcing is too weak for the tonight
period.
For Wednesday...forecast still on track for windy conditions to
develop as ~1001 mb sfc low pressure moves through GA and SC and
trailing cold front pushes through allowing for a chance of
strong to severe storms. Localized wind damage and hail are the
primary threats with isolated brief tornadoes possible. Timing of
convective activity looks to be starting around 9 am to 11 am
over the western zones...with a broken line of showers and storms
possibly organizing around noon-1 pm from about the Brunswick GA
area to the FL big bend...then pushing through the rest of the
area through the aftn and offshore between 20z-00z. Some limiting
factors for more robust and widespread convection are rapid
drying aloft after 18z and too little directional shear above the
boundary layer.
&&
.AVIATION...VFR expected the next few hours with sct-bkn cumulus
around 5000-6000 ft near the east coast. Developing low clouds in
IFR range likely to start over the inland north/northeast FL
zones and move into GNV terminal first around midnight...though
this may be a bit too early. Low clouds may expand in coverage
and move to the rest of the terminals in the 08z-12z time frame
with some light VSBY restrictions as well...especially south of a
GNV- SGJ line. However...overall confidence in widespread low
cigs is somewhat lower than earlier today based on recent trends
of the HRRR guidance and it's possible that if and when low cigs
develop they may be relatively short-lived.
Timing of showers/tstms for Wed placed in around the 15-20z time
frame for now as a prefrontal trough or individual shower/tstms
cells move through the region. Winds will mainly be southwest at
5-8 knots tonight...with only a marginal case for LLWS around the
06z-12z time frame. Southwest winds increase to 15-20G30kt by
14-15z Wed and then shift to mainly westerly after 21z.
&&
.MARINE...Winds are presently southerly near 10 kt but are
expected to shift to the southwest overnight and increase. Just
minor tweaks to the tonight forecast but SCEC for tonight and SCA
for Wed are on track.
