FORECAST ON TRACK FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS TO PUSH INTO THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF UPCOMING FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER
TONIGHT. WITH NEAR RECORD HIGHS INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S AHEAD
OF THIS FEATURE, THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO KICK OFF A FEW
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS ALONG THIS FEATURE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, BUT SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
OTHERWISE THE MAIN IMPACT TODAY WILL BE THE MINOR TO LOCALLY
MODERATE COASTAL/TIDAL FLOODING TAKING PLACE WITH THIS MORNING'S
HIGH CYCLE ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST THAT WILL PROGRESS DOWN THE
ST. JOHNS RIVER BASIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SIMILAR IMPACTS
ARE EXPECTED WITH TONIGHT'S AND FRIDAY'S HIGH TIDE CYCLE AS WELL.

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING DOWN THE EAST COAST FROM THE
ST LAWRENCE VALLEY IS SLOWLY RETREATING AWAY AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM DEVELOPS TO THE WEST ALONG THE GULF COAST INTO SOUTHERN AL.
EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED ALONG THE COAST AROUND
10-15 MPH TO 5-10 MPH INLAND UNDER MULTI-LAYER CLOUD COVER. OUR
TEMPERATURES RANGE IN THE 60S ACROSS INLAND NE FL AND SE GA WITH
LOW 70S ALONG THE COAST AND THE ST JOHNS RIVER AND SHOULD REMAIN
SO THROUGH SUNRISE.
A STRONG, NEGATIVELY TILTED MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE TN
AND OH VALLEYS WILL MOVE EAST TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY THIS
EVENING AND CAUSE THE SURFACE LOW TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL
GA TOWARDS THE GA/SC COAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL TURN
SOUTHERLY TODAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE LOW THAT
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BY EARLY EVENING TO 10-15 MPH WITH GUSTS
TO 25 MPH. WE SHOULD SEE MORE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER NE FL THIS
AFTERNOON WITH MORE CLOUDS OVER SE GA CLOSER TO THE LOW AND HIGHS
WILL REACH THE LOW 80S AS A RESULT FOR PLACES SOUTH OF WAYCROSS
INTO NE FL WITH UPPER 70S NORTH OF WAYCROSS. THIS EVENING, A
BROKEN BAND OF HEAVIER SHOWERS WILL MOVE EAST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS
OUR AREA WITH SKIES TURNING CLOUDY AFTER SUNSET. WHILE THE
PROBABILITY IS LOW, ISOLATED T'STORMS COULD FORM ALONG THE GULF
COAST TO NEAR I-75 AS DEWPOINTS RISE BRIEFLY INTO THE UPPER 60S
IN THIS LOCATIONS, BUT OTHERWISE THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR T'STORMS OVER MOST OF OUR AREA. A WETTING
RAINFALL (0.25 INCHES) IS POSSIBLE FROM THE SHOWERS, BUT MOST
LOCATIONS WILL SEE AMOUNTS UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH IN TOTAL.
SHOWERS WILL END AFTER MIDNIGHT EXCEPT FOR PLACES SOUTH AND EAST
OF A LINE FROM GAINESVILLE TO ST AUGUSTINE. BEHIND THE FRONT, HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND WINDS WILL
STAY ELEVATED 8-12 MPH OVERNIGHT INLAND AND 10-15 MPH ALONG THE
COAST. THE COOL AIR ADVECTION ARRIVING WILL ALLOW LOW TEMPERATURES
TO COOL INTO THE LOW/MID 50S OVER SE GA AND THE SUWANNEE VALLEY,
BUT REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S FOR REST OF NE FL WEST OF THE ST JOHNS
RIVER WITH LOW 60S OVER THE NE FL COAST AND THE ST JOHNS RIVER
BASIN.
SHORT TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 355 AM EST THU NOV 14 2024
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS EXPECTED
FRIDAY TO FRIDAY NIGHT WITH COOL ADVECTION ON NORTHERLY FLOW NEAR
15G25 MPH ALONG THE COAST BUT ABOUT 10G20MPH INLAND. THE SFC HIGH
ORIGINALLY OVER AR WILL MOVE TO THE GREAT LAKES BY SAT MORNING.
LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL SLOWLY VEER DURING THE PERIOD. SOME PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES BRIEFLY AROUND FRIDAY, BUT SKIES SHOULD BE CLEAR BY
THE AFTN WITH THE DRY AIRMASS. MAX TEMPS FROM UPPER 60S TO LOWER
TO MID 70S ANTICIPATED FRIDAY WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER
40S TO LOWER TO MID 50S FRIDAY NIGHT.
SATURDAY, THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES EXPECTED TO MIGRATE
SOUTHEASTWARD WITH A MID LEVEL RIDGE EXPECTED TO SIT OVER THE NORTHEAST
GOMEX. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO ENSURE DRY AND STABLE CONDITIONS AND
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES, WITH SOME EXCEPTION FOR A FEW STRATOCU CLOUDS
ADVANCING ONSHORE FOR NORTHEAST FL. LOW LEVEL WIND WILL CONTINUE
TO VEER TO MORE EASTERLY BY LATE SAT NIGHT. LIGHTER WINDS, CLEAR
SKIES AND A MODERATING NORTHEAST-EAST FLOW WILL ENSURE SOME WARMER
MAX TEMPS SATURDAY TO MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. LIGHT WINDS
AND CLEAR SKIES SAT NIGHT SHOULD BRING TEMPS DOWN INTO THE UPPER
40S NORTH ZONES TO LOWER TO MID 50S ELSEWHERE.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 AM EST THU NOV 14 2024
DEEP LAYER RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE REGION SUNDAY WITH QUIET WEATHER
CONDITIONS CONTINUING. MEANWHILE, A SIGNIFICANT MID/UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH BAJA CA AND NRN MEXICO AND SHIFT
NORTHEASTWARD. MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE WITH HIGHS IN
THE 70S TO NEAR 80 UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WITH
THE SFC HIGH OVER THE REGION. MONDAY, WE WILL SEE THE TROUGH LIFT
NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. WHILE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES
THROUGH THE ROCKIES. THIS SHOULD CAUSE THE DEEP LAYER RIDGING TO
SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC CAUSING A GRADUAL WARM-UP
FOR THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY. IN FACT, RECORD HIGHS ARE ONCE
AGAIN POSSIBLE TUESDAY WITH MOST OF THE AREA SEEING AT LEAST 80
DEGREES, WITH CLIMATE SECTION BELOW NOTING RECORDS ON TUESDAY.
WITH THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING ADVANCING EASTWARD, A
SURFACE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES
LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE TROPICAL MOISTURE AND DISTURBANCE
MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO BY MONDAY NIGHT. THIS MOISTURE
AND DISTURBANCE WOULD LIKELY TRACK NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
GIVEN DEEP LAYER TROUGHING LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL U.S INTO MEXICO.
IT'S STILL FAR TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IMPACTS, IF ANY, GIVEN THAT
THE SYSTEM REMAINS A POORLY DEFINED DISTURBANCE AT THIS TIME IN
THE WEST CARIBBEAN. AT THIS TIME, MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO INCREASE
TUE INTO WED SO WE HAVE CHANCE SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.

NOVEMBER!

ISSUED AT 629 AM EST THU NOV 14 2024
FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WILL MIGRATE EAST NEAR SSI TO BEGIN THE PERIOD
WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER THE TAF SITES TRENDING MORE PARTLY
CLOUDY MUCH OF TODAY AS A SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST FROM NEAR THE FL
PANHANDLE TOWARDS THE GA AND SC COAST NORTH OF SSI THROUGH LATE

THE COAST WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS. WINDS WILL VEER TO THE
SOUTHWEST AND THE WEST AFTER 00Z TO 5-10 KNOTS AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH WITH LOWER CEILINGS LIKELY BRINGING MVFR CEILINGS 1.5-2.5
KFT AFTER 00Z AS SHOWERS MOVE IN, THEN LINGER FOR A FEW HOURS
BEFORE SKIES BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR. WINDS WILL TURN NORTHWESTERLY
BEHIND THE SHOWERS DUE TO THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AND BECOME
BREEZIER AROUND 10 KNOTS AT SSI AND SGJ AND JUST UNDER 10 KNOTS
AT ALL OTHER SITES.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 355 AM EST THU NOV 14 2024
HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETREAT TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST TODAY AS A LOW

LOW MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY WILL TURN
WESTERLY TONIGHT AND THEN NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY FRIDAY MORNING.
THERE WILL BE A LULL IN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS AFTER THIS

AHEAD OF THE LOW TODAY, THEN INCREASE AGAIN ON FRIDAY MORNING AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE HIGH WILL REMAIN TO
THE NORTH SATURDAY WITH NORTH NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AND ELEVATED
SEAS PERSISTING, THEN SETTLE OVER THE WATERS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
WITH LIGHT WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS.

HYDROLOGY

MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ISSUES ARE ONGOING WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW
PATTERN AND THE HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED THE APPROACH

ABOUT 1.6 TO NEAR NEAR 2 FT. NOTING GUIDANCE HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY
TOO HIGH ALONG THE COAST AND TOO LOW FOR THE ST JOHNS RIVER,
