Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 1255 PM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 844 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Fog and low cloudiness are burning off as the sun angle increases. HRRR and ARW models on track with current convection over Apalachee Bay and expect convection to break out over the I-75 area later this morning and sweep east. Have an MWS out for the coastal waters to alert boaters to the afternoon and evening convection as it may cover inlets and river entrances for a few hours about the time most are returning from offshore fishing/runs to the Gulf Stream. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Early morning surface analysis depicts a weakening frontal boundary that remains stalled just north of the Altamaha River in southeast GA. Meanwhile, high pressure (1024 millibars) was positioned along the Mid-Atlantic coast. Otherwise, a cold front was diving southeastward across the Great Lakes, the Mid- Mississippi Valley, and the Southern Plains states. Aloft...ridging continues to build off the southeastern seaboard, while a potent upstream shortwave was plunging southeastward across the Upper Midwest. This digging trough has absorbed the previously cutoff trough that was over Louisiana, with the filling remnants of this feature now accelerating across the Tennessee Valley. Deep south-southwesterly flow prevails between the offshore ridge and the digging trough over the Upper Midwest, with this flow continuing to advect tropical moisture from the southeast Gulf of Mexico into the Deep South. This convergent southwesterly flow was developing a few isolated batches of low- topped convection along the FL Big Bend and Nature coasts, with this activity mostly remaining west and southwest of the Suwannee River. Mid and high altitude cloudiness has been gradually thinning during the predawn hours, allowing low stratus ceilings and patches of locally dense fog to develop across our area. Temperatures and dewpoints at 08Z were mostly in the 70-75 degree range, except a few upper 70s at coastal locations. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Low stratus and patches of locally dense fog will continue to expand across our region through sunrise. We will continue to monitor observations for a possible dense fog advisory for portions of our area. Fog and low stratus ceilings should then lift by the mid-morning hours today. Deep southwesterly flow aloft will be maintained today as ridging positioned off the southeastern seaboard only slowly migrates eastward and a potent shortwave pivots eastward towards Lake Michigan, with troughing digging through the Ozarks and the lower Mississippi Valley. A pocket of slightly drier air, with PWATS just below 2 inches, will exit our region early this afternoon, with values surging above 2 inches as shortwave energy currently over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico advects northeastward towards our area by the mid to late afternoon hours. Widely scattered low-topped convection will continue to move north-northeastward across southern and western portions of the Suwannee Valley through the morning hours, with a plume of thicker cirrostratus emanating to the northeast of this activity across inland southeast GA. Thicker cloud cover and occasional showers and thunderstorms throughout the day will keep highs in the mid to upper 80s across the Suwannee Valley and inland southeast GA. Several rounds of convection and the potential for backbuilding and training cells exists across the Suwannee Valley, and a slight risk of excessive rainfall remains posted for locations west of Interstate 75 today, where widespread 1-3 inch rainfall amounts and localized flooding will be possible. Cloud cover will thin out by the late morning hours for locations east of the U.S. Highway 301 corridor, with filtered sunshine through early afternoon allowing highs to climb to around 90. A slightly looser local pressure gradient should result in an earlier developing Atlantic sea breeze boundary towards the noon hour, and this boundary should begin to develop isolated to scattered convection by the mid-afternoon hours along the I-95 corridor. Outflow boundaries from early afternoon convection along the I-75 corridor should collide with outflows emanating from the sea breeze-driven convection to increase convective coverage and intensity for locations along and east of the U.S. Highway 301 corridor, with a few storms possibly pulsing and becoming strong along the U.S.-301 and then I-95 corridors as another broken squall line develops over the coastal counties late this afternoon. Stronger thunderstorms may produce downburst winds of 40-50 mph and frequent lightning strikes. A bigger concern will be another day of locally heavy downpours, with flooding possible at urban locations along the I-95 and U.S.-301 corridors if cells backbuild and train over these locations for an extended period of time. Rainfall amounts today will generally be in the 0.25-0.75 inch range, but localized amounts of 1-3 inches will also be possible in this tropically moist weather pattern. Northeastward storm motion will be slightly slower today, with speeds generally in the 10-20 mph range. Convection should once again exit our region towards sunset, but coverage of overnight convection over the northeast Gulf of Mexico should be higher tonight ahead of the upstream trough and associated frontal boundary as southwesterly flow begins to strengthen. Widely scattered, mainly low-topped convection will likely migrate through the Suwannee Valley before sunrise on Monday. Fog and low stratus potential may be limited to inland southeast GA due to more cloud cover and shower activity over the Suwannee Valley. Lows will again mostly fall to the low and mid 70s, except a few upper 70s possible at coastal locations. && .SHORT TERM... (Monday through Tuesday) Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Prevailing flow will continue to be out of the southwest, bringing moist air and troughing ahead of the dry air boundary to the northwest. Drier air will start to filter in over the region by Monday evening, with marginal chances for excessive rainfall for areas ahead of the frontal boundary primarily over northeast Florida. Showers and storms will become less widespread on Tuesday, more so over southeast Georgia, as drier air with PWAT values dropping to less than 1 to 1.5 inches over much of the forecast area by Tuesday evening. Daily high temperatures during this period will reach up into the upper 80s for the beginning of next week with overnight low temperatures dropping down into the 60s and lower 70s, with cooler temperatures expected for drier areas behind the frontal boundary in southeast Georgia. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Friday) Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Reduced chances for showers and storms will continue into midweek as drier air extending from out of the north acts to inhibit convective developments. Chances for showers and storms will rise towards the latter part of the week with more widespread thunderstorms developing over northeast Florida, ahead of the semi-stalled dry frontal boundary, with the highest chances for storm developments occurring over areas to the south of the I-10 corridor. Daily high temperatures are expected to experience a mild cooling trend for the latter half of the week, with max temps dropping slightly below the seasonal average. Overnight low temperatures are expected to be close to average for this time of year. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1252 PM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Convection is much slower to develop than yesterday, and not nearly as quick as the mesoscale models indicated earlier today. Still anticipate convection to develop but less widespread then earlier thought. Thus will back off a bit on the afternoon tempo groups and the fog/mist overnight. && .MARINE... Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 A stalled frontal boundary positioned just north of the Altamaha River entrance in southeast GA will dissipate today as high pressure centered along the Mid-Atlantic coast moves offshore and weakens. Another round of thunderstorms will likely move northeastward across our local waters during the late afternoon hours, with a few stronger thunderstorms containing briefly gusty winds and frequent lightning strikes possible. Long period swells will briefly diminish through Monday, with seas of 3 to 4 feet prevailing both near shore and offshore. A cold front will then enter the southeastern states by Monday evening and will push southeastward across the Georgia waters by Tuesday morning. This front is expected to stall over or just south of the northeast Florida waters by Tuesday evening, with light onshore winds expected to develop by midweek. This front will remain in place through the end of this week, with weak low pressure potentially developing along this front by Friday. Another long period ocean swell will migrate through our local waters from Monday night through Tuesday night, resulting in building seas that will then subside by Wednesday. Seas of 3-5 feet are expected both near shore and offshore from Monday night through Tuesday night, with seas then subsiding to 2-4 feet from Wednesday through Friday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 457 AM EDT Sun Sep 11 2022 Training downpours will be possible beginning later this morning over western portions of the Suwannee Valley. Localized flooding will be possible, with 1-3 inches of rainfall expected today in southern and western portions of the Suwannee Valley. Showers and possibly a few strong thunderstorms will then traverse the rest of our area during the mid to late afternoon hours, with localized flooding possible, especially at urban areas along the I-95 corridor, where 1-2 inches of rainfall may occur in a relatively short period of time. River rises continue to be likely into next week across our area, with minor flooding forecast along mainly middle and upper portions of the Santa Fe River as well as the St. Marys and lower Satilla Rivers through the period. River rises are expected for lower portions of the Santa Fe later this week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
