NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 247 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025
Dry and warmer than normal conditions continue today. Highs climb into the middle to upper 80s away from the coast, where they'll hang out closer to 80 this afternoon thanks to the seabreeze. Lows tonight will be a tad milder than the past few nights with temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60.
All of this is thanks to an H5 ridge moving overhead and strengthening to 591dm. Meanwhile, surface high pressure over the Outer Banks of North Carolina moves closer to Bermuda this afternoon. This will help winds increase and turn more southerly, so a breezy afternoon is expected for most, even away from the coast.
It's worth mentioning that some of the hotter guidance is attempting to get areas along the I-75 corridor in Georgia near 90 degrees this afternoon. This makes sense as the south-southeasterly breeze expected would mean air coming straight up from the spine of the Florida Peninsula. There is a low (less than 30 percent) chance of this happening, but it is worth mentioning.

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 247 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025
Generally warm and dry conditions are expected through the short and long term period with mid-level ridging setting up over Florida. A shortwave is forecast to push a cold front into the Appalachians and MS River Valley Monday into Tuesday, but this front is forecast to stall out well to the north of our area.
Still, the gradual increase in moisture across the region along with this front to the north could produce a couple of showers and storms over the northern portions of the area through the rest of the period.
Temperatures are forecast to be quite warm in the mid to upper 80s most days with some low 90s creeping into the forecast next week.
If the mid-level ridge strengthens further and/or the ridge axis becomes more oriented over our area instead of the Peninsula, highs could end up a few degrees higher than currently forecast.
Lows are forecast fairly steady in the low to mid 60s.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 113 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 247 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025
High pressure remains in control of the weather as dry and stable conditions continue through the weekend. Southeasterly winds increase this morning, allowing MinRH to increase the next few afternoons. A robust seabreeze is forecast to move inland and turn winds more southerly this afternoon. High dispersions are forecast over the Georgia and Alabama districts today and Saturday. Red Flag conditions are not forecast. Rain chances return early next week.
HYDROLOGY
Issued at 247 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025
