KEY MESSAGES
Issued at 609 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
- A freeze warning remains is effect for the entire local area with a hard freeze possible in the wiregrass this morning. Wind chills will fall into the upper teens to lower 20s as well.
Another freeze is expected Wednesday morning across most of the area east of the western Florida Panhandle and southeast Alabama.
- A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through mid morning.
Occasional gusts to gale force are possible early this morning.
- Elevated fire weather conditions exist today with low relative humidity values coupled with the ongoing drought.
SHORT TERM
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 130 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
A 1033mb surface high over the ArkLaMiss currently will drift east near the northern Gulf coast on its way to northeast Florida tonight. Temperatures continue to fall through the 30s early this morning towards the 20s to lower 30s away from the coast by sunrise. A 5-10 mph northwest wind continues dropping wind chills into the mid 20 to lower 30 degree range. No changes were made to the cold weather advisory and freeze warning with expiration of those two after sunrise.
Winds continue to relax today as high pressure moves by and dewpoints remain low mostly in the teens until the high center gets east of the tri-state area. Highs today will reach the mid 50s with upper 50s near the coast.
Tonight, upgraded the freeze watch to a freeze warning for mainly the eastern Florida panhandle, Big Bend, southwest Georgia, and adjacent southeast Alabama counties. Light winds and high pressure nearby will lead to a good radiational cooling night and temperatures in the warning will fall to the upper 20s to low 30s.
The southeast Big Bend may overperform and fall into the mid 20s.
Further west towards the western Florida panhandle, moisture return as winds offshore become southwesterly which will keep lows from falling below freezing. This will set the stage for a gradual warming trend beginning Wednesday.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 130 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
High pressure will meander around the southeast US leading to dry conditions continuing into the start of the weekend with high temperatures warming into the upper 70s by Saturday as well as lows reaching the lower 50s. High pressure shifts off the east coast later in the weekend as a strong upper low moves out of the four corners and low pressure develops over the southern Plains.
Low end rain chances appear back in the forecast Sunday and Monday as the cold front reaches the Mid-South.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 609 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025

MARINE
Issued at 609 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
The Gale Warning has expired as winds begin to subside. An occasional gust to gale force is still possible early this morning. A Small Craft Advisory is in place into mid morning.
Winds will start to subside and seas gradually decrease into the afternoon and evening. High pressure will settle into the region leading to favorable boating conditions mid to late week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 130 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
Surface high pressure will gradually transition east across northeast Florida and the northeast Gulf. Winds will decrease and not be as strong as on Monday. Afternoon humidities will continue to be quite low with readings in the upper teens to mid 20% range so elevated fire weather conditions remain for today. Low dispersions this afternoon for Southeast AL and the FL Panhandle as well. A slow but gradual increase in moisture into mid to late week with afternoon humidities in the mid 30 to low 40% area.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 130 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
