.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...
