New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER, HYDROLOGY

NEAR TERM
(Through Tuesday)
Issued at 341 PM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

Dry and cool conditions are expected through tomorrow with surface high pressure over the area. Light northerly to northeasterly winds are expected, and some high clouds may begin to spread over the area tonight. Depending on the amount of cloud cover, a favorable setup for radiational cooling may be in place allowing lows to drop into the low to mid 30s for most of the area. Temperatures could end up a bit warmer than that if cloud cover ends up being more substantial, but the forecast errs on the lower side of guidance since freezing temps/frost could impact early plant growth. Highs on Tuesday are forecast in the 60s under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.

SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 341 PM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

Zonal flow aloft will persist until Wednesday when a shortwave looks to move across eastern CONUS. An area of low pressure coming off the Rocky Mountains on Tuesday slides southeastward into the NW Gulf where it continues eastward along the northern Gulf. Due to cooler, drier air across inland CONUS this area of low pressure may never penetrate inland and remain offshore. This will lead to our region remaining on the cooler side of the system as it slides across our NE Gulf waters. There will be enough forcing for ascent leading to the potential for a heavy rain event, but with dew points struggling to make it into the low to mid 50s there is no current expectation for severe weather outside of areas right along the coast.
Otherwise, behind this next system comes another shot of winter, with cold, dry, dense air infiltrating from the north bringing our temps to below average for this time of the year going into the weekend.

Expect daytime highs generally in the mid 50s to low 60s on Wednesday dropping into the upper 40s to mid 50s Thursday through Saturday with a breakout over 60 degrees on Sunday. Overnight lows in the mid to upper 40s Wednesday morning tank into the upper 20s to upper 30s Thursday through Sunday mornings.

MARINE
Issued at 341 PM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

Northeast to east winds are expected through Tuesday night with high pressure spreading over most of the eastern US. An area of low pressure will move along or just south of the Gulf Coast Tuesday night into Wednesday with an increase in southeasterly winds. Cautionary to low-end advisory level winds will be possible again. Rain will overspread the marine area. Strong high pressure slides into the Plains late week with north to northeast winds late in the week. Seas will be around 2 to 5 feet.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 341 PM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

Recent rains will keep any significant fire weather concerns from developing today and tomorrow despite a drier airmass in place.
Surface high pressure overhead and increasing cloud cover will likely lead to low dispersions Tuesday and Wednesday. The next cold front is expected to push through the area on Wednesday, with rain chances increasing dramatically Tuesday night through Wednesday ahead of it.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 341 PM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

Flooding may become a concern as a result of heavy rain next Wednesday. A swath of heavy rain is likely to develop north of a low pressure wave tracking eastward along the northern Gulf Coast.
1 to 2.5 inches of rain is currently forecast on Wednesday, with heaviest amounts from the FL Panhandle into South Georgia. These rainfall amounts would bring flooding to some urban and poor drainage areas, and they would bring rises on all area rivers, some to near bankfull.
