Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 241 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, CLIMATE... .NEAR TERM... (Through Tonight) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https://www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf Scattered to numerous showers and storms expected to be ongoing through the afternoon and early evening over southeast GA, with more isolated and widely scattered showers and storms for northeast FL near and north of I-10. The activity will be moving off to the east and northeast about 20-25 mph, still posing a risk of localized heavy rainfall and isolated instances of 40-60 mph wind gusts in the stronger activity. Heaviest rainfall amounts will be over southeast GA, where storms have more organization there and better moisture availability and upper level support. Activity will diminish late evening, but will likely see a resurgence of some convection toward the early morning hours, with deep southwest flow in concert with upper level shortwave passing through to support the chances of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Lows tonight again above normal in the lower to mid 70s given the clouds and light southwest flow. && .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday night) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Enhanced moisture from southwest steering flow in addition to a cold front sinking southward towards central Georgia Tuesday will allow for an early start to convection, with numerous showers and storms likely by the afternoon. The Gulf sea breeze will push far inland, later interacting with the Atlantic sea breeze near the I-95 corridor in the late afternoon, highlighting that region towards the coast for strong storm development. With heavy cloud cover and morning showers, parts of inland southeast Georgia will stay in the mid to upper 80s, with highs elsewhere in the lower 90s, even at the northeast Florida coast. Convection will linger through most of the night as the front stalls over southern Georgia. Wednesday, steering flow will become more southerly as the high pressure weakens, allowing for the sea breeze collision to be more inland (west of I-95) than Tuesday. With the front still stalled over southern Georgia, rain chances are high at 60-70% in the afternoon into evening. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 High rain and storm chances continue Thursday through the weekend despite the front lifting northward as south/southeasterly winds bring plenty of moisture to the area. Sea breeze mergers are expected inland each afternoon bringing enhanced potential for strong thunderstorms. Highs inland will be generally in the lower 90s, with the onshore breeze keeping the Atlantic coast a little cooler. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Scattered convection has recently moved through the JAX Metro terminals with convection still yet to affect SSI, which may be in the next 1-3 hours. A few showers and storms near SGJ and GNV but should largely escape from being adversely affected. By late evening and toward midnight, most of the convection should remain to the northwest of the TAFs. Some low stratus again may move into the TAF sites by 06z-12z Tuesday, but confidence in any MVFR or IFR is low with probability generally at or below 30 percent. May see some showers/convection develop by around 15z Tuesday, but for now given the uncertainty will not include in the latest TAF set. && .MARINE... Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 South to southwest winds will increase over most of the waters by early this evening to about 15-20 kt which will require small craft exercise caution headlines. Winds should relax toward 10-15 kt Tuesday mid morning. May see another wind increase Tuesday night, but mainly offshore waters. Wednesday through the rest of the week, the surface ridge will be nudging up into the local area which will shift prevailing southwest flow to more southerly direction, with the Atlantic sea breeze probably forming each afternoon into the weekend. Otherwise, main weather concerns will be offshore moving storms the next few days, with instances of strong wind gusts and heavy rainfall/lowered vsby in stronger storms. Rip Currents: low risk of rip currents is currently forecast through at least Tuesday given the fairly low surf heights of less than 2 ft and weak easterly swells of less than 1 foot. Some slightly better swell activity possible later in the week that may up the rip current risk. && .CLIMATE... Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Above normal temps will continue the next few days, with low temps near or just below record high minimums at a couple of the climate sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
