Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Cross City, FL

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 229 AM EST Sun Nov 8 2026

High pressure over the lower Mississippi River Valley will keep northerly to northeasterly winds across the area through midweek.
Expect dry conditions to prevail with highs in the 70s and lows in the low 40s to low 50s. Southwesterly flow returns Wednesday as the gradient tightens in response to an approaching cold front.
This front is forecast to push through the area Thursday, with breezy northwesterly winds ushering in a cooler and drier air mass in its wake. A few showers will be possible ahead of this front, but meaningful rainfall accumulation is not expected. Highs are forecast to fall into the upper 50s to mid 60s this weekend in the wake of the front with lows in the mid 30s to low 40s. If the front is as strong as currently forecast, there may be some frost possible over the weekend and a low to medium chance of freezing temperatures across our far northern SE AL and SW GA counties Saturday night.
