.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Through Friday)
Issued at 1228 AM EST Sat Dec 20 2025

High pressure slides over the region today. A comfortable day is in
store with highs in the upper half of the 60s with abundant
sunshine. As the high slides just off to our east tonight, some
moisture will begin to return near the coast and in the Florida
Panhandle. This will help lead to some patchy fog late tonight into
Sunday morning in the southeast Big Bend. Otherwise, calm winds and
mostly clear skies will lead to another round of radiational cooling
tonight, mainly in Georgia and neighboring Florida communities. Lows
tonight will be in the upper 30s to low 40s, except mid to upper 40s
in the western FL Panhandle.

A weak cold front approaches the area Sunday as a weak shortwave
passes over the Great Lakes and central/northern Appalachians.
However, while there will be some moisture return, PWATs only
recover to an inch ahead of the front. This means we`ll be lucky to
squeeze out a shower or two in southeast Alabama, but everyone else
won`t see anything other some clouds. Mild temperatures continue
Sunday with highs in the lower 70s with lows in the 40s.
Temperatures still remain mild behind the front on Monday, only
budging downward by 2-4 degrees in the mid 60s to near 70.

Beyond Monday, an anomalously strong ridge builds overhead through
the end of the week, bringing a warm and dry forecast through
Christmas week. In fact, the NBM now suggests a low chance (10-30%)
of highs at or above 80 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the
Florida Big Bend. Record highs for Tallahassee and Albany both days
are 82. For now, forecast highs are in the mid to upper 70s. But, I
wouldn`t be surprised if later forecasts come in a skosh warmer,
especially if the ridge is positioned slightly farther east. Lows
will be in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 631 AM EST Sat Dec 20 2025

VFR conditions are forecast to prevail through the TAF period.
Light north winds turn more easterly to southeasterly throughout the
day. Some fog is possible late in the TAF period early Sunday
morning.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1228 AM EST Sat Dec 20 2025

Moderate easterly breezes continue this morning over the Gulf
waters before subsiding this afternoon as high pressure moves
overhead. A weak cold front moves through the area Sunday with
northeasterly breezes freshening into Monday. Small craft should
exercise caution Monday over the Gulf waters, and Small Craft
Advisories could be needed if current forecast winds trend
higher. High pressure slides back in mid-week with light easterly
breezes resuming.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1228 AM EST Sat Dec 20 2025

A cooler, drier air mass settles into the area today with high
pressure overhead. This will lead to poor dispersions this afternoon
thanks to light transport winds and low mixing heights. The dry air
will also yield min RH values in the mid to upper 20s for most
areas, except the Florida Panhandle where min RH values will be in
the 30s. Moisture begins to return tonight ahead of a very weak cold
front on Sunday. Light winds continue Sunday out of the northeast,
so poor dispersions are expected yet again. A slightly cooler, drier
air mass moves back into the region Monday with stronger easterly
transport winds of 15-20 mph, yielding good dispersions. Min RH
values Monday should stay above critical levels.
