Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
233 PM EDT Wed Jun 8 2022
.NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...
Initially dry southwesterly flow in the morning will have fully
transitioned into a more moist westerly flow by the end of today
as the influence of high pressure from out of the west lessens and
a cold front advances towards the region from out of the north.
This will lead to increased likelihoods for showers and storms to
form in the afternoon occurring primarily over inland areas along
the diurnal sea breeze boundaries and areas of convergence, with
convection becoming further enhanced by a weak upper level trough
crossing over the forecast area today. Showers and storms will
dissipate tonight with lingering late evening convection clearing
from coastal areas by midnight. High temperatures today will be in
the lower to mid 90s for inland areas. Apparent "feels like"
temperatures will reach up to about 100 degrees in some areas,
with overnight low temps dropping down into the lower 70s over
inland areas and in the mid 70s for locations along the coast.
.SHORT TERM [Thursday Through Friday Night]...
A weak frontal boundary from out of the north will settle in over
the region by the end of the week as the moist westerly prevailing
flow continues to move through ahead of it, bringing PWAT values
in excess of 2 inches through the forecast area. This moist flow
coupled with an upper level trough dragging across the eastern US
will lead to more widespread showers and storms with a marginal
likelihood for severe storms developing on Thursday with the
inland areas of northeast Florida being the most likely to be
affected on Thursday. Convective activity will continue on into
Friday as instability ahead of the stalling frontal boundary
persists through the end of the week. Daily max temperatures are
expected to peak on Thursday with high temps reaching into the
mid-upper 90s, with heat index values reaching upwards of 100-105
degrees.
.LONG TERM [Saturday Through Wednesday]...
Upper level short waves will move through the region as weak
frontal boundary from out of the northwest settles in over the
forecast area. Abundant showers and thunderstorms are anticipated
for the weekend with conditions becoming more stable early next
week as high pressure ridging in the upper levels extends out
across the forecast area. Diurnal bouts of convection are still
anticipated during this period with the pattern of showers and
storms forming primarily over inland areas to the south of the
frontal boundary. High temperatures will dip slightly over the
weekend, however still remaining at or slightly above the seasonal
average, before rising back into the mid-upper 90s next week.
&&
.AVIATION...
[Through 18Z Thursday]
Sct-broken cumulus developed rapidly this morning and we expect
isolated to scattered showers and storms to fire off in the next
few hours, with the highest chances (~scattered coverage) across
inland northeast FL. Strongest storm activity will be capable of
gusty winds and at least MVFR conditions. Isolated to scattered
storms in the evening will gradually fade by midnight. Winds will
be easterly along the coastal TAFs rest of the aftn and early
evening, but inland TAFs at JAX, VQQ, and GNV more varied wind
directions. Winds will become predominantly westerly at about
8-12G18kt on Thursday near and after 12Z. Another chance of
showers and storms on Thursday, but probably more likely after
16Z.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast shifts eastward further
into the Atlantic through Thursday as a surface trough develops
over the southeast states. This will increase the chance of
afternoon and evening thunderstorms around the nearshore coastal
waters through Thursday. A weak cool front moves into the coastal
waters on Friday and lingers over the area through the weekend
bringing an increase in showers and thunderstorms.
Rip Currents: High Risk for NE Florida beaches through this
evening, returning to Moderate Risk through Thursday. Moderate
Risk for SE Georgia beaches through Thursday.
