Small Craft Advisory for the Atlantic Waters through the Week. High Surf & High Risk for Rip Currents at all Area Beaches. Major Beach Erosion around Times of High Tide through Friday. Gusty Coastal Winds through Friday 25 - 35 mph

- Isolated Thunderstorms Potential this Weekend

Update

Occasional showers from the ongoing northeasterly wind event at the Florida coast will be more isolated tonight as some drier air tries to make a push southward and high pressure weakens slightly. This has also continued to drop our winds accordingly, though breezy/gusty conditions near the Florida coast will remain persistent tonight, especially from near Saint Augustine southward. Otherwise, no significant changes to the forecast tonight. Lows in the 50s and 60s will be common, though far inland southeast GA could get a few locations in the upper 40s where drier air is in place.

Near Term

Main Highlights: Through Tonight

- Elevate coastal winds to continue, with coastal hazards continuing

High pressure to the north will build closer to the area, and slowly weaken through Tonight. As the high weakens, the inverted trough to the southeast will weaken as well. Winds will become fairly light well inland Tonight, while remaining elevated and gusty closer to the coast. Rain shower chances will persist over north central FL, and coastal NE FL south of Jacksonville Beach.

Short Term

Main Highlights This Period:

- Coastal and Marine Hazards Continue, with Coastal Flood Warnings Remaining in Effect along the Northeast FL Atlantic Coast, Intracoastal Waterway and St. Johns River Basin. Moderate Tidal Flooding Will Continue Around Times of High Tide for these Locations.

- Dangerous and High Surf Conditions Continue, with High Surf Advisories Continuing on Tuesday. A High Risk for Deadly Rip Currents will Persist at All Area Beaches. Pounding Surf During High Tide Cycles Will Cause Major Beach Erosion.

Onshore northeasterly and easterly flow will persist through midweek with wind speeds building into Wednesday as high the local pressure gradient becomes tightened between high pressure ridging to the north and the sharpening trough situated to the southeast over the Bahamas. Predominantly dry weather is anticipated for inland northeast Florida and southeast Georgia with chances for rainfall increasing for coastal southeast Florida counties as high pressure ridging to the north starts to flatten and the trough shifts northward, bringing in a more moist easterly flow across Florida. High temperatures through midweek will rise into the upper 70s and lower 80s for inland areas and in the mid to upper 70s for areas along the coast. Overnight low temperatures will warm between Tuesday and Wednesday, with min temps rising into the lower to mid 60s for southeast Georgia and in the mid to upper 60s for southeast Georgia, and in the lower 70s for coastal Florida counties.
