...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1002 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024

For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit:
https://www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf

Forecast is on track this morning. High pressure will build into 
the region from the west with sunny and dry conditions today. Our
temperatures will be a little below normal from cool air advection
due to northwest flow aloft. Surface northerly winds 10-15 mph over
NE FL and the coast and 8-12 mph across inland SE GA will veer to
the northeast this afternoon and lighten to 5-10 mph inland and 
8-12 at coast as the high arrives over our area. High temperatures 
will reach the low/mid 70s inland and the mid/upper 60s along the
coast. 

Tonight, as flow aloft trends more zonal, thin cirrus clouds will
pass over the area, but should allow for good radiational cooling
with low 40s inland, mid 40s north central FL and upper 40s at the 
coast.
