123 FXUS62 KTAE 091852 AFDTAE Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 152 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 149 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025 - A quiet weather pattern is expected over the next 7 days, with 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. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested.
