.UPDATE...
Issued at 850 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025

https://www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
A mid level disturbance and associated deep moisture affecting the
northeast FL area yesterday has moved to the northeast. Still quite
a bit moisture in the low levels in the broad northeast flow. The
high pressure system to the north will continue to build in and
increased subsidence aloft due to the departing disturbance will
keep most areas dry today and tonight. The exception will be over
the south and southeast zones where current isolated shower activity
is located. A chance of showers and possible storm there today.
The main updates today were to adjust POPs a bit lower and still
keep in some cloudiness across the southeast due to broken sky
cover of cumulus/stratocumulus at times. Otherwise, temps will be
below due to the lowered thicknesses. Highs mostly in the 80s
expected under breezy northeast winds. Breezy winds mainly
affect the coastal areas.
On the marine forecast, just adjusted the small craft advisory a
bit. The northeast winds and higher seas tend to linger longer and
so extended areal and timing extent based on latest guidance.
For coastal flood advisory, we have coastal high tide coming up
by late morning about 11 am. We may be able to cancel part of the
advisory for southeast GA later today, but will monitor water
level trends this morning and new guidance whether that is possible.
Overall, latest water level data show values have dropped slightly
due to the fact we are moving further away from the full moon
from 9/7 and the weaker northeast flow, with most sites below 2 ft
MHHW now, except for some tributaries still near or just above 2
ft.

.NEAR TERM...
Issued at 1258 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
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...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 738 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Areas of MVFR cigs continue to affect portions of northeast FL
today mainly around SGJ with VCSH there too, with other northeast
FL sites having occasional MVFR cigs through about 17z today.
Otherwise, VFR cigs. Northeasterly winds will prevail once again
with gusts 15-20 kts later today and will diminish tonight.
&&
.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.
