.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of Today and Tonight)
Issued at 1143 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

Shortwave energy aloft and low level trough axis will continue to
push through SE GA with scattered showers and isolated storms
through the early to mid afternoon hours with heavy downpours,
small hail and gusty winds possible. Further south across NE FL
this energy aloft is weaker, with less moisture available, but
still expect widely scattered showers and possibly an isolated
storm as this feature pushes across NE FL and interacts with a
weak East coast sea breeze later this afternoon through early this
evening. Light SW flow off the NE Gulf tonight will lead to
widespread fog development along the I-75 corridor of inland NE FL
around midnight, some of which could be rather dense with
visibility down around 1/4 mile during the overnight hours and
Dense Fog Advisories may be required for this region, but also for
points to the NE across the rest of NE FL and into SE GA as the
low level flow is just strong enough to advect this low level
stratus and dense fog all the way to the NE FL/SE GA coastline by
sunrise Sunday morning and expect this fog to linger a bit before
lifting a few hours after sunrise. The SW flow and low level
moisture will keep overnight temps above normal and only falling
into the lower/middle 60s area-wide.

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 1143 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

Showers and possible thunderstorms are expected on Sunday ahead of
an advancing cold front pressing in from out of the northwest,
with a marginal chance for storms to become severe. Conditions
will clear on Monday as high pressure settles in over the forecast
area with gusty northwesterly winds building through the day and
then becoming more diminished over inland areas overnight.
Temperatures will drop sharply by Monday as cold air settles over
the forecast area with daily high temps dropping from out of the
80s on Sunday into the 50s and lower 60s for the start of next
week. Overnight low temperatures will similarly drop down from out
of the 40s and lower 50s down into the upper 20s and lower to mid
30s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 1143 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

Potential for overnight and early morning frost/freeze conditions
to continue through Wednesday. High pressure conditions will
dominate through the period with mostly clear skies, dry weather,
and mild winds. High pressure will gradually move off to the east
as a weak frontal boundary dips down into the region from out of
the north by around midweek, continuing the pattern of dry
weather. Temperatures will experience a warming trend through the
week with initially below average temperatures rising to be near
and slightly above average by the end of the week and into the
weekend.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 PM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

Main shortwave has lifted just north of the region, but trailing
energy combined with daytime heating will continue isolated shower
chances (VCSH) at all TAF sites through sunset (23Z). Main impact
tonight in the light SW flow off the NE Gulf will be advective
stratus and fog event that will bring LIFR conds to GNV in the
04-06Z time frame and to the rest of the coastal TAF sites in the
06-09Z time frame. Highest confidence in LIFR conds is at GNV/VQQ
with moderate confidence in this event pushing to the other TAF
sites by sunrise Sunday morning. The LIFR conds will hang in place
until the 14-15Z time frame, when CIGS should lift to at least
MVFR CIGS for the remainder of the TAF period.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1143 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

Southwesterly winds will gradually increase through Sunday ahead
of a strong cold front that will be entering the southeastern U.S.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of this
afternoon and evening. This strong front will cross our local
waters during the overnight hours on Sunday night, with Small
Craft Advisory conditions overspreading our local waters during
the evening hours as westerly winds strengthen and then shift to
northwesterly after midnight. Strong high pressure building into
the southeastern states on Monday will result in occasional Gale
Force wind gusts on Monday night, when Gale Warnings may be
necessary. High pressure will shift eastward and will become
centered directly over our local waters by midweek, allowing for
winds and seas to gradually diminish.

Rip Currents: Low to Moderate Risk of Rip Currents will continue
through the weekend in the offshore flow, along with surf/breakers
around 2 feet or so. This trend will continue early next week as
offshore flow increases behind the strong cold frontal passage and
keeps surf/breakers around 2 feet or less through most of next
week.
