Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Cedar Grove, FL

SHORT TERM
(Wednesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

As the upper high moves further east, perturbations in the upper level flow and the presence of a front to our north will generate sufficient lift for scattered showers or thunderstorms through this period with highest PoPs across our northeast zones. PoPs on Thursday afternoon will range from 50 across Ben Hill County to about 20 from I-10 to U.S. 84. Lows will be in the lower 60s Wednesday night and mainly mid 60s Thursday night with highs Thursday in the upper 80s to around 90.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

There will be less forcing around Friday and Saturday with slight chance PoPs limited to our northern and easternmost counties. A backdoor front will slip in from the northeast Sunday into Monday increasing PoPs to about 30 percent over our eastern counties. The lack of precipitation across most of the area will result in unseasonably hot temperatures with most areas reach 90 or better Friday through Sunday. Some relief behind the front can be expected across our GA counties Monday and Tuesday.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

Another round of fog and low stratus is expected tonight, with highest chances for development at KECP, KDHN, and KTLH. At these sites, ceilings are forecasted to lower into LIFR territory in the 08Z-12Z time range. At KABY and KVLD, chances for fog development are very low. Calm to light winds are forecasted through the TAF period at all sites.

MARINE
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

Light winds are expected over the northeast Gulf through Wednesday evening. Nearshore afternoon seabreezes may result in locally higher seas, especially near the bays. On Thursday night, fresh southeast breezes may increase wave heights into the 2 to 3 foot range by Friday. Some overnight and morning fog is also possible each day closer to the coast.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

The main fire concerns continue to revolve around daily chances for morning fog and dispersion levels through midweek, with little to no wetting rains. In particular, pockets of low dispersion may linger into Wednesday afternoon near Apalachicola and Chattahoochee Rivers, and pockets of high dispersion are possible on Thursday afternoon for parts of Southwest GA and Southeast AL.

Meanwhile, a persistent moist southerly wind keeps RH values above critical thresholds despite precipitation lacking. Daytime seabreezes are also expected, leading to locally gusty winds, a sudden directional shift, and sharp rises in humidity, especially south of I-10. In addition, gusty and erratic winds are possible near any thunderstorms in the I-75 corridor of GA Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Lastly, conditions will be very warm through early next week with high temperatures away from the Gulf coast in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 222 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

No flooding is expected for the upcoming week.
