A FEW FORECAST TWEAKS THIS EVENING, MAINLY TRIMMING BACK ANY
REMAINING SHOWER CHANCES AS THE SEA BREEZE EXITS TO OUR WEST,
TAKING SHOWERS WITH IT. A THIN VEIL OF CIRRUS DRIFTING AROUND THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE MAY REACH THE NORTHERN ZONES
LATE TONIGHT, OTHERWISE SKIES WILL BE CLEAR. DEWPOINTS HAVE FALLEN
TO THE LOW 70S AND UPPER 60S THIS EVENING, SETTING THE THRESHOLD
FOR HOW LOW TEMPERATURES MAY FALL. CURRENT FORECAST CALLS FOR LOWS
GENERALLY IN THE LOW 70S BUT A FEW AREAS ESPECIALLY ACROSS SE GA
MAY DIP INTO THE UPPER 60S BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
NEAR TERM
(TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 119 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2025
TONIGHT: ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED ACROSS SE GA AND
ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR WITH PWATS LESS THAN 1.5 INCHES AND EXPECT
ONLY ISOLATED STORMS ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE THIS
EVENING, WHILE MORE SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS INLAND NE
FL ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR AS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE MEETS UP
WITH THE GULF COAST SEA BREEZE EARLY THIS EVENING WITH A FEW
STRONG STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED, ALONG WITH A HEAVY
RAINFALL THREAT DUE TO THE SLOW AND ERRATIC STORM MOTION LESS THAN
10 MPH. CONVECTION SHOULD START TO FADE AFTER SUNSET AND COME TO
AN END AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED FOR THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S INLAND AND MID/UPPER
70S ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. SOME PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE JUST
BEFORE SUNRISE ACROSS INLAND SE GA.
SUNDAY: HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS IN PLACE JUST NORTH OF
THE REGION WITH AN EASTERLY STEERING FLOW AND EXPECT A DRIER
AIRMASS TO REMAIN ACROSS SE GA WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST AIRMASS
ACROSS NE FL WITH PWATS SLIGHTLY ABOVE 1.5 INCHES. THIS WILL LEAD
TO A SIMILAR SCENARIO TO TODAY WITH ONLY ISOLATED STORMS ACROSS SE
GA AND SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS ACROSS NE FL. THE WELL
INLAND MOVING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 80S ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST, BUT STILL REACH INTO THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 90S INLAND WITH PEAK HEAT INDICES INTO THE 100-105F
RANGE. A FEW ISOLATED STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS INLAND
NE FL ONCE AGAIN WITH GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THE
MAIN THREATS.
SHORT TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 119 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2025
SUNDAY NIGHT, SKIES SLOWLY CLEAR AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN
OVERNIGHT ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO DIP INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW
70S AT INLAND LOCATIONS, WITH TEMPERATURES STICKING IN THE MID TO
UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST.
MONDAY, HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE MONDAY
WILL BRING DRIER AIR TO THE AREA AND WINDS OUT OF THE EAST TO
SOUTHEAST. THE WINDS COMING IN OFF OF THE ATLANTIC WILL BRING IN
JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, MAINLY OVER
NORTHEAST FLORIDA AS SEA-BREEZES CONVERGE INLAND. DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S INLAND WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S ALONG THE COAST. PEAK
HEAT INDICES WILL BE IN THE 95-102 DEGREE RANGE.
MONDAY NIGHT, LOWS WILL DROP AGAIN INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S
INLAND WITH TEMPERATURES STAYING SLIGHTLY WARMER ALONG THE COAST.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 119 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2025
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE CONTINUES THROUGH
THE PERIOD, WITH DRIER AIR IN PLACE UNTIL ABOUT MIDWEEK. THIS
PATTERN WILL LOWER THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE AREA UNTIL
MID WEEK AND ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S
AT INLAND LOCATIONS. THE ATLANTIC SEA-BREEZE WILL HELP KEEP THE
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER ALONG THE COAST. BY THE END
OF THE WEEK, HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND WILL ALLOW
MOISTURE TO FILTER INTO THE AREA, INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN
AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TIME FRAME. OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING, INCREASING TO THE LOW TO MID 70S AT INLAND
LOCATIONS THROUGH THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL STAY SLIGHTLY WARMER
OVERNIGHT NEAR COASTAL LOCATIONS.

FRIDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK.

DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA TODAY AND WILL IMPROVE TO GENERALLY GOOD
DISPERSIONS FOR SUNDAY AS SOUTHEASTERLY-EASTERLY WINDS REMAIN OVER
