.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Warmer today and continued breezy with more passing clouds. After an 
inland morning freeze and frost, temperatures will warm into the 60s 
across most locations to lower 70s toward our north-central FL zones 
roughly from Gainesville toward Palatka southward under breezy 
easterly winds. Dry conditions continue, however, low level clouds 
will increase from the Atlantic coast through the day as a coastal 
trough forms offshore. A few light, spotty coastal sprinkles will be 
possible tonight as the trough pivots northward up the coast, but 
measurable precipitation is not expected. 

With the influx of shallow level moisture today under east winds, 
introduced patchy fog after midnight tonight for locations near the 
I-95 corridor in southeast GA to the St. Johns River basin of 
northeast Florida. Lows will range from the low/mid 40s tonight 
across inland southeast GA to the 50s south of I-10 toward the 
Atlantic coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...

Temperatures will warm up Sunday with highs mainly in the 70s as a 
warm front lifts northward over the forecast area, and a cold front 
approaches from the northwest. Southwest steering flow will raise 
PWATs just over an inch Sunday, increasing cold cover, however rain 
chances will likely hold off until Monday but a few sprinkles are 
possible Sunday. Rain chances remain at about 15-20% on Monday with 
low thunder chances over land. High temperatures Monday will range 
from the mid 60s over southeast Georgia and near 80 in north central 
Florida. Higher rain chances will begin just after midnight Monday 
night into early Tuesday morning for inland southeast Georgia.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

Tuesday, a strengthening surface low will move across the area, 
bringing early morning showers and thunderstorms, and much needed 
rainfall across most of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida. 
Strong thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday given high PWATs (1.5-
2.0 inches), a low level jet near 40-55 knots, and a low CAPE-high 
shear environment. Rainfall totals are generally at about 0.25-0.75 
inches (highest over inland southeast Georgia), with the NBM showing 
highest probabilities for >1 inch over Coffee, Atkinson, and Jeff 
Davis counties. By late evening, precipitation will be through the 
forecast area, paving the way for a cooler night. Wednesday and 
Thursday will be chillier, with highs in the 60s to lower 70s with 
partly cloudy skies and northerly winds. At this time, low 
temperatures mid-week are above freezing but perhaps some patchy 
frost formation is possible over inland southeast Georgia.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...

VFR conditions continue through the forecast period. Breezy ENE 
winds develop mid-morning Saturday with gusts 20-25 kts at times. 
Coastal low clouds with bases 4-6 kft agl increase this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...

High pressure builds northeast of the region today as a coastal
trough develops over the local waters. The coastal trough will 
break down Sunday into Monday as a weakening front approaches 
from the north then begins to stall just north of the local 
waters into Monday night. This front will morph into a lifting 
warm front ahead of a stronger frontal system as it approaches 
late Monday into Tuesday. Southerly winds increase Tuesday near 
Small Craft levels with a chance of thunderstorms. The front is 
expected to push south of the local waters late Tuesday, then 
high pressure builds northwest of the region mid-week as winds 
subside below Advisory levels.

Rip Currents: High risk today for NE FL beaches with Moderate
for SE GA beaches as onshore/easterly winds develops. Rough surf
at times with breakers 4-5 ft at FL beaches with 2-4 ft at SE GA
beaches. Moderate risk expected Sunday for all local beaches as
strength of onshore flow weakens. 

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Moisture will recover Saturday as high pressure shifts more to 
the northeast near the Mid Atlantic coast with breezy northeast 
winds turning easterly and breezy by afternoon 10-15 with gusts 
to 25-30 mph, but with min RH levels above critical levels. 
Increasing surface and transport winds will create areas of high
daytime dispersions. Sunday, light easterly winds will turn 
south to southwesterly further inland as a cold front approaches
from the west. Weaker surface and transport winds will produce 
fair dispersions. Chances for showers will increase Monday night
as a cold front stalls across the area. Tuesday, a stronger 
storm system will bring the potential for isolated strong 
T'storms with a wetting rainfall across most of the area.
