| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 732pm EDT Monday September 21 2020 Near Term - Through Tonight Strong, deep layer ridge of high pressure in place over the region with the low level portion of the ridge centered over the Appalachian mountains. This has led to breezy northeasterly winds today gusting to near 40 mph, mostly along our coastline. This has also led to a host of other coastal hazards including a high risk of rip currents, high surf, and coastal flooding. The strongest winds and worst coastal flooding should subside this evening, but won't go completely go calm overnight. Onshore flow has also allowed the development of isolated to scattered showers, again mostly along the coastline. Rounds of light to moderate showers will continue into tonight, but should dissipate across the area by midnight. Short Term - Tuesday Through Wednesday Night Low level ridge of high pressure will slide south through mid-week and weaken, allowing low level winds to become lighter and more easterly. With continued onshore flow and seasonally high tides, minor coastal flooding, high rip current risk, and elevated surf heigheights will continue through Wednesday morning. A cool, dry air mass in place with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and lows in the upper 50s to upper 60s. Isolated showers possible on Tuesday, but airmass will likely be too dry for shower development Wednesday. Long Term - Thursday Through Monday Ridge of high pressure will begin to shift eastward offshore at the end of the work week, with southeasterly flow returning moisture to the area ahead of a developing cold front starting Thursday. Isolated to scattered storms will return around Thursday-Friday as a result of this return flow of moisture. Front may not reach our area until early next week, but scattered storms appear likely through the weekend out ahead of it. Temperatures will trend above normal, with highs mostly in the 80s and lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Marine The strong low level ridge of high pressure to our north will gradually sink south and weaken over the next few days. Northeast winds at 20 to 25 knots with frequent gusts to gale force this evening will subside to 15 to 20 knots by early Tuesday morning. Waves will take longer to lower, with seas of 7 feet or higher possibly lasting past Wednesday morning, particularly over our offshore waters. Mostly dry conditions should continue through Thursday. As we head into the weekend, our next front will approach the area, bringing an increase in chances for showers and thunderstorms. Rip Currents High risk of rip currents in effect for NE FL and SE GA beaches through Wednesday morning. High surf advisory in effect along NE FL beaches through Wednesday morning, along SE GA beaches through Tuesday morning. Coastal Flood Worst of the coastal flooding should subside with this afternoon's high tide cycle, but water levels along the Atlantic coastline and the St. John's River for the next several days.
