High pressure ridge axis from the Atlantic will extend westward
across or just to the North of SE GA/NE FL region through tonight
with a warm South to Southeast steering flow that will continue
above normal temps. Mostly clear to partly cloudy skies as periods
of mainly thin high cirrus will continue to stream across the
region over the top of the large high pressure ridge to the west
of the region. Highs into the mid/upper 80s over inland areas with
lower 80s along the Atlantic Coast as the East Coast sea breeze
will push well inland with SE surface winds increasing to 10-15G20
mph behind the sea breeze during the afternoon hours. Periods of
high cloudiness will continue tonight with SE winds decreasing to
5 mph or less, combined with low temps around 60F and increased
low level moisture from the onshore flow should lead to some
patchy/areas of fog formation mostly likely along the
I-95/US17/US301 corridors towards sunrise Wednesday morning, could
be some locally dense fog in some spots, but amount of any
significant fog formation will depend on the coverage/thickness of
high cloud cover during the overnight hours.
