Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 144am EDT Sunday Oct 13 2024 .SHORT TERM... (Sunday through Monday night) Issued at 216pm EDT Sat Oct 12 2024 Temperatures will briefly warm back up into the 80s on Sunday and Monday with plenty of sunshine ahead of an incoming cold front. Low temperatures will range from the mid 50s to mid 60s both nights. Northwesterly steering flow and surface winds shifting offshore will allow for pleasant dewpoints and dry weather. Long Term (Tuesday through next Saturday) Issued at 216pm EDT Sat Oct 12 2024 A dry cold front will move through the area on Tuesday, leaving much cooler temperatures and fair weather through the end of the week. Highs on Wednesday will only reach the mid 60s to lower 70s, with lows dipping into the 40s across inland southeast Georgia and portions of northeast Florida north and west of the line from Gainesville to Jacksonville. Temperatures will gradually warm back up each day as strong high pressure builds to the north. Marine Issued at 1005pm EDT Sat Oct 12 2024 Coastal troughing over our local waters this evening will lift northeastward as high pressure settles southward towards our region overnight. Small Craft should continue to Exercise Caution if venturing into the offshore waters overnight, where seas of 4-6 feet will prevail. Seas will diminish to the 3-5 foot range for both the near shore and offshore waters on Sunday, followed by 2-4 foot seas from Monday through Tuesday night. High pressure will then shift south of our area on Sunday night, resulting in westerly winds gradually increasing through Monday evening. A strong cold front will then push southeastward across our local waters late Monday night and Tuesday morning, resulting in winds shifting to northwesterly. High pressure building over the Upper Midwest in the wake of this dry frontal passage on Tuesday night will shift eastward towards the Ohio Valley by Thursday and will wedge down the southeastern seaboard later this week as it strengthens along the Mid-Atlantic coast. Northerly winds will surge to at least Caution levels on Tuesday night, followed by breezy northeasterly winds on Wednesday and Thursday that may strengthen further late this week, resulting in gradually building seas. Rip Currents A long period easterly swell will continue to impact our local beaches on Sunday and Monday. This swell will combine with lingering breakers of 3-5 feet at the northeast FL beaches to create a moderate to high risk of rip currents on Sunday, while lowering breakers of 2-4 feet at the southeast GA beaches likely results in a higher end moderate risk. The long period swell should keep a moderate risk in place at all area beaches on Monday despite breezy offshore winds. Hydrology Issued at 1005pm EDT Sat Oct 12 2024 A Coastal Flood warning remains in effect for the St Johns River Basin around the Downtown JAX area southward and for the Intracoastal Waterway in Flagler county. Moderate flooding is expected at most locations around times of high tide. Water levels have fallen to a moderate flood along Deep Creek, with a gradual decline continuing on Sunday after the record crest that occurred due to rainfall runoff late on Thursday. Mostly minor flooding continues from eastern Duval county southward along the coast into St Johns county, with locally moderate flooding possible. Southeast GA: Moderate flooding is ongoing along the Alapaha River near the gauge at Statenville, where water levels should fall back to minor flooding by Monday. Water levels along the Altamaha river at the Charlotteville gauge have fallen below flood stage, and water levels at Baxley and Doctortown will fall below flood stage by early Monday morning. Minor flooding along lower portions of the Satilla River near the gauge at Atkinson will continue through early portions of next week. Northeast FL: Minor flooding is expected along lower and middle portions of the Santa Fe River during the next several days.
