High pressure to the north will weaken Today, as the frontal zone to the south sinks a little further south.
Drier air will continue to filter south into the area Today, with the greatest chance for showers with embedded thunderstorms over NE FL. These chances will decrease through the day. A few NE FL coastal showers will be possible Tonight, otherwise a dry night is forecast.
Highs Today will trend a little below normal, with the coolest readings over eastern counties due to cloud cover and rain. For Tonight, the drier air across inland areas will allow for a wide range in temperatures. Lows in the lower 60s over inland SE GA, to the middle 70s coastal NE FL are expected.

.SHORT TERM... (Thursday through Friday night) Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
High pressure will build to the north then northeast this period, with the frontal zone well to the south. Weak inverted troughing is expected to develop in the onshore flow pattern over the coastal waters. Convergence associated with this trough will provide for shower chances along the NE FL coast. With fairly dry air located further inland, these showers will dissipate as they move inland. A few thunderstorms may develop during the afternoons over the coastal waters, and affect coastal NE FL.
Temperatures will be a little below normal this period.
&&
.LONG TERM... (Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
The high will remain centered to the northeast Saturday, as an area of low pressure develops to the southeast of the region. This area of low pressure will track to the east, then northeast of the region over the weekend into early next week. The gradient will tighten between these two features, leading to elevated winds along the coast over the weekend through Monday. Fairly dry air will remain in place inland this period, with the greatest chance for showers being near the NE FL coast. A few diurnal thunderstorms can not be ruled out.
Temperatures will be a little below normal over the weekend, then near normal early next week.

.AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Drier air moving in aloft will limit rain chances and low stratus through the period as conditions continue to improve. Northeasterly winds will prevail once again with gusts 15-20 kts this afternoon. Through this morning, a weak low developing southeast of KSGJ will keep MVFR/IFR ceilings in place with potential showers whereas elsewhere VFR conditions are expected to continue.
&&
.MARINE... Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
High pressure will be north of the area Today, with a frontal boundary to the south. An area of low pressure near the north central FL coast will track away to the east this morning. As this low moves away winds will decrease, but winds will remain somewhat elevated due to pressure gradient between the high and front. High pressure will remain to the north Thursday and northeast Friday. The high will remain to the northeast over the weekend, as an area of low pressure develops to the southeast then east. Winds will pick back up again over the weekend due to gradient between the high and low.
Rip currents: High Risk Today, Moderate to High Thursday.

.HYDROLOGY... Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Will keep the coastal flood advisory in effect through the next few tide cycles, as elevated onshore flow continues.
