AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 131 AM EDT Fri May 8 2026

VFR conditions prevails through the next few hours before low clouds and fog near some terminals. This will result in intermittent MVFR/IFR cigs and vis. VFR conditions should return after sunrise with west to northwesterly winds in place.


UPDATE
Issued at 810 PM EDT Thu May 7 2026

Early evening water vapor satellite imagery is showing a warm and dry air mass holding over most of the Florida Peninsula, while increasing moisture pushes into northern Florida associated with an approaching cold front. This front is on track to stall out over northern Florida tonight without dropping temperatures any, but it will bring in some chances of rain to the Nature Coast and parts of the interior beginning tonight.

The main forecast concern overnight will be the chances of patchy fog developing during the early morning hours as moisture starts to increase ahead of the front. The current forecast looks on track, and no changes are planned for the evening update.
