.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

  no significant impacts. Impactful cold weather is forecast to
  remain north of the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

High pressure centered over the area tonight will slide eastward on
Wednesday in advance of a dry cold front. Overnight lows tonight
will generally range from the low to mid 30s across inland areas to
around 40 for the beaches. Areas of frost are expected inland. On
Wednesday, a southwest breeze will pick up ahead of the front with
gusts of 15 to 20 mph at times during the afternoon. High
temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 60s with dry
conditions.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

Briefly cooler temperatures are expected on Thursday in the wake of
the dry cold front with highs ranging from the mid 50s to mid 60s
across the area. A warming trend will commence on Friday, and by the
weekend, high temperatures are expected to be back into the upper
60s to mid 70s for most of the area. Another cold front is expected
for early next week with cooler conditions again in its wake for
Monday. Rain chances continue to look low with WNW flow aloft and
a lack of moisture return from the Gulf.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

A mix of MVFR/VFR conditions are present this afternoon. This
stubborn stratus deck will slowly persist through the afternoon
affecting mainly DHN/VLD/ABY through the late afternoon. VFR
conditions should prevail this evening and into early parts of
Wednesday. By 08z areas of MVFR/IFR cigs could redevelop, especially
across DHN/ABY/VLD, and persist briefly after sunrise. However,
confidence remains quite low in the placement and it`s possible some
terminals don`t see restrictions Wednesday morning so these
conditions were represented in TEMPO groups. In areas where MVFR/IFR
conditions develop, VFR should return by 15z Wednesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

Westerly winds will increase on Wednesday in association with a cold
front and remain elevated into Thursday morning. Small craft should
exercise caution. Tranquil boating conditions will return Thursday
night through Saturday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

There are no major fire weather concerns. A dry period of weather is
on tap for at least the next week. Transport winds will increase on
Wednesday, yielding good dispersion, then become northwest after a
dry cold frontal passage with fair dispersion on Thursday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

Dry weather is expected for the next several day with no flooding
concerns.
