NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

A weak area of low pressure traverses the northern Gulf today, skirting just south of our offshore waters. North of this system, a widespread steady rain is expected for much of the morning and early afternoon. Instability will be near zero, so no thunder is expected.
The bulk of the rain will exit early this afternoon, but a few stray showers will remain possible through the afternoon as the mid-level trough swings through. Otherwise, the clouds and rain will keep highs in the lower to middle 50s north of I-10 with upper 50s to lower 60s south.

A much colder air mass moves into the area tonight with arctic high pressure building over the Plains. Lows tonight will range from the upper 20s to mid 30s across much of the area along and west of the Flint and Apalachicola Rivers with upper 30s to mid 40s to the east.
With northerly winds around 10-15 mph continuing, wind chills could drop into the upper teens to mid 20s in southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Thus, have issued a Cold Weather Advisory for parts of these areas tonight into Thursday morning. Remember to use heating devices safely and protect yourself and your pets from the cold.

SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

A cold and blustery start to Thursday is expected behind a cold front as temperatures in the low 30s across southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia and 10 to 15 mph winds create wind chills in the low to mid 20s. Despite sunny skies, high temperatures will struggle to climb into the 50s across Florida and will likely not climb out of the 40s across southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia as steady cold air advection continues through the day.
More of the same is expected on Friday with regard to temperatures but winds should be a few mph slower as the center of surface high pressure draws near. By Friday night, surface high pressure continues east and light winds should allow the potential for patchy frost overnight into Saturday morning. The main uncertainty is increasing upper level clouds ahead of our next system which could keep temperatures warm enough to avoid frost. To what degree will largely depend how much radiational cooling we can achieve overnight amidst the incoming upper level clouds.

LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

A broad cyclonic upper level pattern remains in place through the weekend and early next week with several systems passing overhead. However, at this time it appears the storm track will largely remain south of the region, and any moisture return in this pattern seems insignificant. This should keep a relatively dry pattern in place outside a brief chance for rain showers on Sunday, but even these chances have steadily decreased over the last few model cycles as the potential upper level disturbance passes south of the region.

No significant push of cold air behind these systems is anticipated so it's likely we'll see a slow warming trend into early next week.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1204 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

VFR conditions continue for now, but will degrade over the next few hours. SHRA is now reaching the ground at ECP, and will spread to the other terminals from SW to NE through the night. Cigs will fall near daybreak to IFR and LIFR at all sites with a steady RA through about 18z. Even after the RA ends, a few light showers will remain possible through the rest of the afternoon. Cigs will be very slow to rise, only return to MVFR by the end of the TAF period for ECP, DHN, and ABY, while remaining IFR at TLH and VLD.

MARINE
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

Easterly winds continue increasing today as an area of low pressure moves across the northern Gulf. Winds turn more northerly and reach advisory level over the western waters later this afternoon. Seas will increase to 4 to 6 feet by tonight. Rain continues to overspread the region this morning and into the early afternoon before moving out of the region this evening. A few thunderstorms are possible. Winds and seas remain in advisory levels through at least Thursday afternoon, but elevated winds and seas should remain in place until the weekend.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

Widespread wetting rains are expected for much of the day with poor to fair dispersions as a low pressure system moves across the northern Gulf. Transport winds will become northerly to northeasterly today around 10-15 mph, and remain that way into Thursday. Mixing heights increase with a decrease in clouds on Thursday, leading to good to excellent dispersions. Northeasterly transport winds decrease Friday with good dispersions area wide.
Cooler, drier air will lead to min RH values in the 20s Thursday and Friday.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 144 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

Two systems will pass through the region in the upcoming week. The first being today, and another on Sunday. The first system will bring the greatest rainfall amounts around 1 to 2 inches across the Panhandle, and into southwest Georgia. Lighter amounts around 0.5 to 1.0 inch are expected across southeast Alabama and into central Georgia. Lighter amounts under an inch are also forecast across the extreme southeast Florida Big Bend. Very light amounts are currently forecast for the secondary system on Sunday and less than 0.25 inches. Much of this rain will be beneficial and amounts are not great enough to bring any hydrological concerns. The Apalachicola River near Blountstown remains in minor flood stage through early Thursday, primarily due to upstream dam releases and not local rainfall.
