New AVIATION
NEAR TERM
(Through Tonight)
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
Strong cold air advection remains in place over the region in the wake of yesterday's cold front. With dry air entrenched at the surface we won't see any precip throughout the overnight hours.
Expect cloud cover to increase overnight as moisture aloft increases as southwesterly flow dominates above the dense surface air. Temps are again expected to bottom out in the mid 20s to low 30s across the region. Hard freeze conditions are expected across SE Alabama, portions of SW Georgia and portions of the FL Panhandle.
SHORT TERM
(Tuesday through Thursday)
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
The main concern continues to be winter weather centered on Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. The Winter Storm Watch was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for the entire region for both snowfall/sleet and freezing rain amounts. Snowfall will be most impactful from the Flint River Valley into Southeast AL and the Eastern FL Panhandle, where 1 to 3 inches is forecast, with locally higher amounts possible. East of the Flint River Valley in GA to the FL Big Bend, freezing rain will be most impactful, with amounts ranging around one to two-tenths of an inch. There is still some uncertainty in these amounts and the precipitation types, both of which could change, so please stay tuned.
It also be very cold, with an Extreme Cold Warning also in effect Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, coinciding with the wintry precip. Any winter weather should end Wednesday morning.
Otherwise, very cold conditions, with cold weather headlines likely continuing beyond Wednesday.
LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Sunday)
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
Thursday night through this weekend will be characterized as dominated by surface high pressure. It'll slide south and east over the weekend. Winds will predominantly remain out of the north- northeast through Saturday, unfortunately this means brutal cold air remains with us until then. By Sunday as high pressure begins to slide off the southeast coast we'll begin to clock around to a more east-southeast flow, allowing low temps to approach around freezing (32 degrees) Sunday morning. A gradual warm-up is expected next week. Daytime highs will also remain relatively suppressed Friday and Saturday struggling to make it out of the 40s. On Sunday daytime highs look to push towards the upper 50s and possibly low 60s.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2025
Deteriorating conditions are expected for the latter half of the taf period. Snow is most likely across the northern and western portions of the area, with freezing rain and/or sleet likely for eastern and southern sites. Expect snow to be moderately heavy at times, and vertical visibility may decrease to IFR or even LIFR during the heaviest bouts.
MARINE
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed mid-week as a low pressure system moves south of the coastal waters. Brief Gale conditions may materialize for the offshore waters between the Okaloosa Walton County Line and Apalachicola Tuesday night as the low passes south of the region, but confidence was not high enough to issue a Gale Watch or Warning as this time.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
Rain chances increase across the area on Tuesday and Tuesday night as a low pressure system passes to the south of the area. Some snow, sleet, and freezing rain will also be possible across the area through Wednesday morning. There are no fire weather concerns.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 418 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025
Additional rainfall will generally be around an inch and a half or less through the next week, with wintry precipitation during midweek.
There are currently no flooding concerns.
