.UPDATE...
Issued at 824 PM EDT Tue May 7 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

East Coast/Gulf Coast sea breeze merger taking place along the US
17 corridor/St. Johns River Basin at the moment and just expect a
few brief light showers/sprinkles through 10pm, otherwise skies
becoming mostly clear for all NE FL/SE GA locations by the
overnight hours. Low level SW flow will increase moisture enough
to develop low clouds and patchy fog across inland NE FL, mainly
along the I-75 corridor towards sunrise Wednesday morning. Lows
generally in the upper 60s inland and lower 70s along the coast.
Mid level ridge axis holds in place across the region on Wednesday
with enough subsidence to suppress convection for the most part
and rainfall chances remain at 10% or less. The Southwest flow
will pin the East Coast sea breeze to the I-95 corridor and the
heat will build throughout the day reaching the middle 90s from
the I-95 to US 301 corridors with Heat Indices (HI) peaking around
100 degrees, while the Atlantic Coastal Beaches should top out
around 90 degrees.
