National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 430 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024 ...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEPART OUR AREA LATE THIS MORNING... ...SEASONABLY COOL NIGHTS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND... ...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE 80S ON SUNDAY... For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https://www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 430 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024 Early morning surface analysis depicts a cold front bisecting our area and moving slowly eastward, with a wave of low pressure (1010 millibars) developing along this boundary near the Carolina coast. Meanwhile, high pressure (1024 millibars) was building over the Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valleys in the wake of this front. Aloft...strong southwesterly flow prevails across our region, which was downstream of a potent shortwave trough that was migrating through the southern branch of the jet stream that was moving eastward across the Ozarks and the lower Mississippi Valley. While deep southwesterly flow continues to transport a narrow plume of tropical moisture along the slow moving cold front, instability remains almost non-existent, which was yielding scattered, fast moving downpours and only a few elevated thunderstorms across our area early this morning. Dry conditions were in place for locations south and east of a line from Gainesville to St. Augustine, while rainfall was exiting locations along the Alapaha/Ocmulgee/upper Altamaha Rivers in southeast GA, where the cold front has recently moved through. Temperatures and dewpoints in the wake of the front were cooling to the upper 50s across inland southeast GA, while 60s prevail elsewhere as of 08Z.National Ag. Weather Outlook, International Ag.
