.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1200 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

An upper-level longwave trough is expected to remain in place
across the eastern CONUS through much of the forecast period. This
will help to keep our local area underneath a dry westerly to
northwesterly flow pattern aloft. Two prominent embedded
shortwaves look to move within this flow pattern aloft over the
next week: the first digging southeastward later today, and the
second moving across the Appalachians on Sunday. Both of these
troughs will help to send cold fronts southward through the local
area, allowing for reinforcing shots of cooler and drier air to
filter in. At this time, we should remain dry through at least
next Tuesday, although there could be just enough moisture pooling
out ahead of the second front to produce a few isolated showers
Saturday night into Sunday morning. Ahead of tonight`s front,
breezy southwesterly to westerly winds will allow for highs to
climb into the low to mid 60s today. After the front passes, lows
tonight will drop into the 30s and highs on Thursday drop back
into the mid to upper 50s. As high pressure pushes off to our
east, highs on Friday and Saturday will warm into the upper 60s to
low 70s and lows Friday night and Saturday night will range from
the mid 40s north to the mid 50s along the coast. Temperatures
drop once again on Sunday and into the beginning of next week
after the second front pushes through the area. The rip current
risk should remain low through the period, although our western
Florida Panhandle beaches are expected to see a brief bump to
moderate late this afternoon into tonight. /96

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1054 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

General VFR conditions with local IFR or lower near the coast will
transition to low end MVFR to LIFR from fog with light winds over
most of the area into the late night hours. VISBYs will rise soon
after sunrise and become general VFR with southwesterly winds
around 10 knots. A cold front moving across the forecast area
late afternoon into the evening hours will scour out the moisture
as it brings northwesterly winds around 10 knots.

is in effect from this afternoon through late tonight for our
local Gulf waters. Exercise Caution headlines will likely also be
needed for our local bays and sounds. Winds subside on Thursday
