NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 15, 7:06 PM EST, 18 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 806 PM EDT Thu Aug 15 2019 .UPDATE...Evening radar shows heavier activity has cleared out of eastern counties, with just patchy areas of light rain or drizzle, while fairly good coverage of showers interior ne FL and a band of convection over our northern counties in s-ctrl GA. Think we will see a decrease in precip coverage later Tonight, except for potentially an increase over interior ne FL before dawn that will spread NE across ne FL during the day Friday. Low temperatures Tonight should be in the mid 70s inland, upper 70s coast. && .AVIATION...Forecast a bit challenging, as have seen areas of IFR CIGs not picked up by model guidance. Models suggest potential for MVFR CIG to develop across the area Tonight, continuing Friday, and this is reflected in latest TAFs, which will be updated when local IFR conditions appear. Have included TEMPO for TSRA during the period when most likely, but could see showers/isolated TSRA in TAF sites during the late morning/midday hours. && .MARINE...The Atlantic ridge continues to be positioned to our south over Bahamas and the FL straits through Friday, then should lift a bit northward into Friday night into Sunday. Will see continued south and southwest winds for the local waters. Prevailing seas will be 2-4 ft near few days. Main concern for boaters the next couple of days will be offshore moving showers and storms capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning and reduced vsby in heavy rainfall. Rip Currents: Low to a marginal moderate risk of rip currents due to weak swells the next couple of days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
