| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 733am EDT Fri April 19 2024 .SHORT TERM... (Saturday through Sunday night) Issued at 259am EDT Fri April 19 2024 A cold front will slowly sink southward into Georgia on Saturday, prompting scattered showers and embedded isolated thunderstorms across southeast Georgia. By Sunday, the front will be lingering near the Florida/Georgia state border, allowing for precipitation potential to spread southward through the Gainesville/St. Augustine line. Again, scattered thunderstorms will be likely throughout the day Sunday, and through the overnight hours area- wide. Temperatures will be well above normal this weekend, with SE GA and NE FL seeing high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s Saturday, including beach side due to southerly winds. Sunday will be a few degrees cooler, with highs in the mid to upper 80s across NE FL, and upper 70s to mid 80s across SE GA depending on the front's position. Long Term (Monday through Thursday) Issued at 259am EDT Fri April 19 2024 By Monday, the front will be south of the area, leaving the rest of the week dry as high pressure builds behind the front. As the front passes through on Monday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely area-wide, along with below normal temperatures for most of the region. Highs in SE GA will stay in the upper 60s to lower 70s, with high temperatures in the 70s across NE FL. Each day of the week will get gradually warmer, by Wednesday highs will be in the 80s area-wide. Marine Issued at 259am EDT Fri April 19 2024 Weak high pressure ridging continues over local waters through Friday as a weak trough passes just to the north. By Saturday, a cold frontal boundary will approach the region and stall along the FL/GA line before making its way through Sunday through Monday with chances for showers and thunderstorms returning. High pressure then builds across area waters once again Tuesday and into Wednesday. Rip Currents Moderate rip current risk for NE FL and SE GA beaches through at least Saturday. Climate Issued at 247am EDT Wednesday April 17 2024 Max temps around 90 degrees can be expected at local climate sites on Friday 4/19 and Saturday 4/20 and will be close record levels.
