.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...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 532 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Patchy thick fog, with areas of dense fog across south central
Alabama, will dissipate by around 8-9 am this morning. VFR
conditions are otherwise expected through tonight. A southwesterly
flow at 10-15 knots develops this morning, then becomes
northwesterly 5-10 knots late this afternoon into the evening
hours as a cold front moves through. /29

.MARINE...

Light southerly to southwesterly flow this morning will become a
moderate to strong westerly to northwesterly flow by late
Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. A Small Craft Advisory
is in effect from this afternoon through late tonight for our

needed for our local bays and sounds. Winds subside on Thursday
with a light onshore flow expected for Friday and Saturday. /96
