Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 319am EDT Thu Mar 27 2025 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, Marine IRE WEATHER... Near Term Issued at 305am EDT Thu Mar 27 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 Dry weather and partly cloudy skies will be in place throughout today and tonight as high pressure moves off to the east tonight and cloud cover increases as a "dirty ridge" extends over the region. Breezy winds will build in today from out of the northeast with gustier winds anticipated for areas along the coast and along the St Johns river and then becoming more mild and variable in the late afternoon and evening hours.High temperatures today will reach up into the upper 70s and lower 80s over inland areas and in the lower 70s along the coastline. Overnight low temperatures will drop down into the 50s for inland areas and in the lower 60s near the shoreline. .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday night) Issued at 305am EDT Thu Mar 27 2025 Friday...High pressure ridge axis continues to nudge slightly northward into the Carolinas and mild and breezy Southeast surface flow will set up across the local area at 15 mph with gusts to 20-25 mph by the afternoon hours. This flow pattern will nudge all inland Max Temps into the lower/middle 80s, with mid/upper 70s along the Atlantic Coast. Friday Night...High pressure exits entirely into the Western Atlantic with surface flow becoming light SE to S at 5 mph or less inland, and 5-10 mph along the Atlantic Coast. High clouds increase slowly through the overnight hours and should limit fog potential over inland areas as lows fall into the mid/upper 50s and lower/middle 60s along the Atlantic Coast. Despite the continued onshore flow, rainfall is not expected. Saturday...Warm frontal boundary and increasing moisture levels from the Gulf will lift NE into the local area and increase rainfall chances with scattered showers and isolated storms expected, but not expecting any severe weather at this time due to the weakening dynamics with this system as it approaches the region. Despite the increased cloud cover and rainfall chances, temps will remain above normal with highs in the lower/middle 80s inland and upper 70s along the Atlantic Coast, along with temps only falling into the lower 60s Saturday Night. Long Term (Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 305am EDT Thu Mar 27 2025 Sunday...Warm frontal boundary lifts northward into GA/Carolinas and southwest steering flow sets up across NE FL/SE GA and temps will continue above normal into the lower/middle 80s and enough lingering moisture to continue scattered showers and isolated storms at times, most likely during peak heating. Temps only falling into the lower/middle 60s Sunday Night with likely enough low level moisture to increase dense fog potential over inland areas, with possible dew points high enough for even some fog along the Atlantic Coastal areas as well (sea fog). Monday...Long range models still in general agreement for strong frontal boundary pressing across the SE US states with likely pre- frontal convection bring strong to severe storms through the region, with best chances of severe weather across SE GA as mid level dynamics are best across the SE US states and lesser across the Florida Peninsula. Max temps well above normal ahead of the frontal boundary, reaching into the mid/upper 80s inland and lower/middle 80s along the Atlantic Coast with breezy Southwest flow keeping the sea breeze pinned at the Coast. Tuesday...Models showing mixed signals on the progression of the frontal boundary with the GFS (Global Forecast System) pushing it south into the FL Peninsula with drying conditions on Tuesday, while the latest ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) is still stalling the frontal boundary across the region which would continue rainfall chances. Overall better confidence in continued above normal temps, although not quite as warm as over the weekend into Monday time frame. Wednesday...Above normal temps continue as leftover frontal boundary and moisture lifts northward back into the NE FL/SE GA with isolated showers and storms possible, but main story will be the Max Temps into the mid/upper 80s over inland areas and lower 80s along the Atlantic Coast. Marine Issued at 305am EDT Thu Mar 27 2025 North-northeasterly winds will continue through today and then shift to become more out of the southeast on Friday as high pressure High pressure moves off to the east of the Carolina coast. Winds will shift southward later this weekend ahead of an advancing cold front that will be entering the southeastern states early next week. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible across our local waters late Saturday night and into Sunday. Rip Currents Moderate Risk for area beaches today with chances for High Risk increasing into the weekend. Fire Weather Issued at 305am EDT Thu Mar 27 2025 Today...Surface winds become Northeast to East around 15 mph at the coast and 10 mph over inland areas, where RH levels will fall into the 20-25% range again and Elevated Fire Danger headlines likely needed once again, but still expected to fall short of Red Flag criteria.
