Today's Weather Synopsis

UPDATE: The sea breeze boundary is developing and is creating isloated heavy downpours around the area. This, in combination with daytime heating, should continue for the next several hours. Stay tuned to the Skidaway Island Weather Center Blog for more information... We are tracking the storms. The image below shows what we are tracking right now:



Today we had fairly active weather to our south as a frontal boundary, in combination with daytime heating, caused showers to develop in Parts of Florida and southern Georgia. Most of the forecast models weren't showing that the precipitation would come this far north. It is to our south right now but some of the activity may get as far north as Hinesville before it fizzles out because of lose of energy, namely daytime heating. Below is a picture that shows the precipitation from radar site KTLH in Tallahassee, FL.

On the image are the radar echos, current temperatures, county advisories, and lightning data from the United States Precision Lightning Network. All of this information is displayed on our Live! Skidaway Island Pinpoint Doppler that is avaible to be viewed on our website at http://www.myskidawayisland.com/weather/ . On there, you will see a regional radar map as well as the local Pinpoint Doppler radar image.

Today will not be as hot as the post two days. Pleasant air is behind the stationary front that is stalled just north of our area. That pleasant air most likely will not reach our area this weekend. Nor will it reach us next week. This weekend however we will see a high chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon. That frontal boundary that is stalled today will move southward and then stall again over right about Jacksonville, FL. This will give us that chance of rain that I talked about above.
