Issued at 818 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

   the region.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 818 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Fog is slowly lifting from east to west this morning. Otherwise,
ample sunshine should allow temperatures to climb into the lower
80s again this afternoon.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1237 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Mostly quiet conditions will prevail through early next week with
above-normal temperatures and dry conditions expected. The period
starts out with a large upper level ridge over the region through
the end of the week as a frontal system approaches the area over
the weekend. However, as this front draws closer it will steadily
lose steam as forcing for ascent will quickly lift north leaving
only isolated, if we`re lucky, chances for rain over the weekend.

As this first front lifts out of the region, surface high
pressure and the upper level ridge rebuilds early next week. This
ridge will stay in place until another front possibly moves in
during the middle of next week.

Main weather concerns over the next few days will be increased
chances for fog in the overnight hours as low-level moisture
slowly returns to the forecast area. Highs will be in the low 80s.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 636 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Fog and low stratus will be a concern until about 15Z for DHN/ECP
(1/2 to 1/4SM vsby) with potential for TLH/ABY to be impacted as
well, albeit likely not as bad with the flt restrictions. Light
winds prevail this aftn under VFR conds. Calm winds tonight set
the stage for another round of good fog coverage beginning in the
Central Timezone terminals after midnight, then spreading east
towards the end of this TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1237 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Light and gentle breezes will prevail through today as high
pressure settles over the waters. As the high center moves east
and a low center approaches the Mississippi Valley on Thursday,
southeasterly and southerly winds will start to increase. This may
result in near-shore marine fog later in the week as southerly
flow returns. The probabilities would be highest across the
Apalachee Bay where cooler shelf waters could result in some sea
fog formation later in the week. Winds behind the cold front late
Saturday into Sunday will become more westerly to northwesterly.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1237 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Light west to northwest transport winds are expected across the area
today. Low dispersions will prevail across our Florida counties due
to light transport winds, especially along the coast. Min RHs will
be a few points higher this afternoon as low-level moisture returns.
This should temper the elevated fire danger we`ve seen the last few
days.

For Thursday and Friday, transport winds become more
southwesterly across the area with increasing RH ahead of an
approaching cold front. Winds are still light Thursday, but increase
to 10-15 mph on Friday. Dispersions will be low near the coast still
on Thursday, but will be good inland. Dispersions become good
areawide Friday with some high dispersions over south Georgia.

Despite increasing RH this weekend, dry antecedent conditions and
warmer temperatures could still allow any new fire to easily start
and spread so some fire concerns will remain.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1237 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025

Rainfall through the period is expected to be near zero, drought
conditions will therefore persist and/or worsen across much of the
Tri-State area.
