Area forecast discussion...updated 
National Weather Service Jacksonville Florida 
922 am EST Wednesday Nov 19 2008 


Update...cold high pressure to settle over the forecast area 
today with sunny skies and maximum temperatures in the 50s. Early morning 
record lows were set at gnv/jax and reports have been sent. Also 
with the widespread freeze event across southeastern Georgia last night the 
frost/freeze program has been suspended there until March 1st. 
Thus the freeze watch there has been cancelled and have upgraded 
most of the watch across northestern Florida to a warning except for Flagler and 
St Johns counties which are still marginal at this time. Another 
cold night expected tonight as high pressure settles just 
southwest of the forecast area and with very light west/SW winds 
expecting a bit more in the way of frost formation across the 
region. Min temperatures will range from the upper 20s inland to lower to 
middle 30s along the coast. 




&& 


Aviation...VFR/skc conds to continue. 


&& 


Marine...north winds will slowly weaken today and this will allow 
the 7-10 feet seas offshore to slowly subside as well. Small Craft Advisory flags on 
tap to expire later this morning across the nearshore waters and 
will take until later this evening for the offshore waters. 


&& 


Fire weather...another red flag event across northeast Florida this 
afternoon with rh's plummeting into the 20-25% range and closer to 
25-30% along the US 301 Corridor. North/NE flow along the coast will 
keep rh's above 35% there...mainly in St Johns/Flagler counties.
