.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Showers and isolated thunderstorms will slowly drift into
inland southeast Georgia through this afternoon as winds shift
northwesterly. There will be a lull in precipitation this
evening, with a revamp in rain chances after midnight over north
central Florida and the northeast Florida coast, mainly south
of St. Augustine. Thunder chances are low overnight, but non-
zero at this time. The front will pass through in the early
morning hours, leaving dry conditions and enough wind to prevent
fog. Low temperatures will be about 20 degrees cooler over
southeast Georgia than last night, with lows dipping into the
40s. More mild low temperatures in the upper 50s expected for
north central Florida and the northeast Florida coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Dry weather conditions will be in place through the end of the week
as high pressure conditions continue to dominate the weather pattern
over the forecast area. Colder temperatures will be in place through
the end of the week with daily high temps rising into the 50s and
60s with overnight low temperatures dropping down into the lower 30s
over southeast Georgia and in the upper 30s and lower 40s for north
central Florida and along the coastline. Potential for frost
developments over inland southeast Georgia and extending into
portions of northeast Florida and extending through the Suwannee
Valley region overnight Friday and into early Saturday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

Chances for showers and possible thunderstorms will return on Sunday
and continue into the beginning of next week as high pressure moves
off to the northeast and moist southwesterly flow develops over the
region ahead of an advancing frontal boundary building in from out
of the northwest. Temperatures will warm up this weekend with daily
high and low temps rising to above average levels for this time of
year.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...

Rain chances remain at about 15-20% this afternoon and evening for
the TAF sites, so just kept VCSH in the TAFs. Winds will shift to
northwesterly after the front approaches this evening through the
overnight hours. VFR conditions expected.

.MARINE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds become southwesterly Today as an approaching cold front
begins to press into the local waters by this evening. By late
tonight into Thursday, winds shift to become northwesterly to
northerly behind the front, with Small Craft Advisory conditions
expected beginning Thursday afternoon for the Florida waters,
and Thursday evening for the Georgia waters. Conditions will
likely persist on Friday and possibly into Saturday as winds
shift to the northeast and east, before subsiding on Sunday as
high pressure builds north of the region.

Rip Currents: SE GA Moderate Today and Thursday
NE FL Moderate Today and Thursday

.FIRE WEATHER...
.DISCUSSION...

A cold front will continue to move through the forecast area today
with breezy southwesterly winds of about 10-15 mph gusting to around
25 mph. A broken line of scattered showers will thin out with
southeast extent as it moves towards the coast, however an isolated
thunderstorms may occur during midday into early afternoon. The
dissipating activity and swift movement of the showers will limit
total rainfall to under a quarter of an inch inland and less than a
tenth of an inch near the coast. With increasing southwesterly
surface and transport winds, areas of high daytime are expected.

A drier air mass associated with strong high pressure will build in
from the northwest on Thursday along with lower dew points settling
into the region, creating critically low Min RH values 20-25 percent
by Thursday afternoon. As the strong high builds to the north
Friday, the lingering dry air mass will lead to MinRH values
dropping into the 15-20 percent range over inland SE GA and 20-25
percent range for inland NE FL. As such, elevated fire danger
conditions are expected for both Thursday and Friday.

FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER REMARKS...A brief strong thunderstorm is
possible this afternoon with potential for wind gusts around 40 mph
and small hail.
