Above normal temperatures and dry conditions continue with the main weather impact late night and morning dense fog and lingering sea fog potential near the local Atlantic coast into the early afternoon. Dense fog advisories, including potential Marine Dense Fog Advisories, will be expanded as needed to the east this morning as advection fog drifts inland from the Gulf and radiation fog develops across the remainder of the area. Fog and stratus will gradually improve through late morning, with lingering scattered to broken low level cumulus into the afternoon. A weak east coast sea breeze will move inland mid to late afternoon as inland temperatures rise into the low 80s with coastal locales in the mid/upper 70s. Another round of late night and early morning fog is expected tonight into Sunday morning with mild low temperatures in the 50s.
SHORT TERM
(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 126 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2025
Another warm day and foggy morning is forecast for Sunday, with dense fog potentially primarily over northeast Florida, dissipating by mid-morning. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s along the Atlantic coast, and low 80s inland with mostly sunny skies and southwesterly winds. Low rain chances return on Monday for inland southeast Georgia, generally north of Waycross as a cold front approaches and stalls over Georgia.
Similar temperatures are expected Monday, but a few degrees cooler along the coast and inland southeast Georgia, another round of fog is likely Monday morning as well.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 126 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2025
Rinse and repeat forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, with rain chances at about 15-30% north of Waycross. Southwest flow will bring warmer temperatures over northeast Florida, with some locations over north central Florida climbing into the mid to upper 80s mid-week. Daily fog and low stratus chances are likely to continue into the long range along and south of the front as mild low temps, light winds, and plenty of low level moisture remain.
A secondary, stronger cold front will make it's way towards the area on Thursday, bringing higher rain chances area-wide (40-60%).
Temperatures will cool down a few degrees on Thursday as cloud cover increases with this front.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 PM EST Sat Feb 8 2025
VFR will prevail through this afternoon as morning fog has now dissipated. A sea breeze will affect the immediate coast at SSI this afternoon, but could make it as far inland as CRG briefly late this afternoon. Confidence is high that fog and low stratus will spread from southwest to northeast again tonight especially inland at GNV and VQQ. However, uncertainty increases for SGJ, Duval terminals, and SSI tonight as most model guidance is not as aggressive with advection fog off the Gulf making it as far towards the east coast compared to the last few nights. Still included at least MVFR vsbys and cigs close to IFR and LIFR for these areas just based off persistence and the current pattern, especially at SSI and SGJ where the influence of marine fog may also cause restrictions at times tonight. Stay tuned to updates towards the 00Z forecast time tonight.
Similar to today, fog and low cigs will start to lift around the 15Z time frame Sunday with VFR expected to return.
MARINE
