659 FXUS62 KTAE 130627 AFDTAE Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 - Gradual warmup and dry conditions will continue over the next seven days. Highs reach the low 80s in most locations by early next week. - Elevated fire weather conditions will develop across southwest Georgia Friday with low afternoon humidities, coupled with the ongoing drought. && .SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM... (Today through next Wednesday) Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Surface high pressure will remain anchored across the northern Gulf while another surface high pressure moves into the Tennessee Valley. In between, a weak and dry cold front will make a run towards the Gulf coast Friday. This front will be of little fanfare other than to bring a quick shot of dry air to areas north of I-10. The front washes out Saturday with high pressure strengthening and positioning south across the northeast Gulf and through the Florida peninsula into Saturday night. Temperatures will be fairly seasonal today and Friday to above normal beginning Saturday. Another dry front will approach from the north Sunday night into Monday. You wouldn`t know it, other than a brief pickup in winds Sunday. Temperatures continue to run above normal even behind the front with highs pushing into the low 80s and lows in the 50s. After this front heading into midweek, longer range models have been struggling with consistency so confidence is low. Forecast remains dry through Wednesday though models have been trying to resolve the upper pattern and an eventual stronger frontal passage. Models with each run have been pushing this passage further out in time. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Some patchy fog may develop around 10z near DHN and ECP with confidence highest at DHN. MVFR vsbys are forecast for DHN, with no restrictions at ECP. Fog is not expected at the other terminals. Otherwise, VFR conditions prevail with light west to northwest winds. && .MARINE... Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 High pressure will dominate across the Gulf coast and northern Gulf waters through this upcoming weekend. This will lead to favorable marine conditions featuring northeast to east winds through Saturday then clocking to the west and southwest beginning Sunday. Seas will run around 1 to 2 feet and dry weather continues. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 High pressure will dominate today with light northwesterly transport winds and good dispersions. Afternoon relative humidities will be above critical levels. On Friday, a dry and weak backdoor front drops into the area which will push in a a round of drier air and afternoon humidities falling to 24-28% across portions of southwest Georgia. Elevated fire weather conditions will develop in this area but winds will remain light and clocking to the northeast. A gradual moistening trend will take place this weekend as the front washes out and fresh high pressure builds back through the Gulf coast. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 127 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Dry conditions are expected to continue through the next week. Drought conditions will persist or worsen across much of the Tri- State area.
