Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Laguna Beach, FL

UPDATE
Issued at 857 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Evening updates were minor, accounting for observed convection that is currently lingering over south GA.

SHORT TERM
(This Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 332 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

One more generally dry afternoon across the region before rain chances begin to increase on Saturday. With steering winds shifting to more of a WNW pattern during the daytime on Saturday, this should lead to a later start to convection along the Florida Big Bend and Panhandle sea breezes, however, with moisture levels gradually increasing, storm coverage should be a little more widespread, so PoPs were raised into the 30-40 percent range across much of the region. But the big story is the heat. High temperatures should easily warm into the mid 90s with a few locations reaching the upper 90s, especially if they avoid any thunderstorms. While some models suggest dewpoints dropping into the upper 60s, the bulk of the guidance shows dewpoints in the low to mid 70s on Saturday afternoon, and this is sufficient to produce an area of heat indices above criteria for a heat advisory Saturday afternoon.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 332 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

A moistening trend really kicks off Sunday as a ridge weakens and shifts west of the forecast area. In addition, a trough moves into the Ohio and Tennessee River valleys pushing a frontal boundary toward the Gulf Coast. This will lead to gradually increasing rain chances into the first of the week and especially into Tuesday and Wednesday when rain chances are expected to be quite high. The presence of a frontal boundary with PWs above 2 inches suggests the threat for widespread heavy rainfall, and for that reason portions of our forecast area are already outlined in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall on Monday and a slight risk on Tuesday. Seeing a slight risk for excessive rainfall on Tuesday across our western areas is quite notable, so future shifts will have to closely monitor the rainfall forecast, as our western areas are more vulnerable to flooding given recent heavy rains in this area over the last month.

Even after the frontal feature dissipates on Wednesday, continued southerly to southwesterly flow will keep high PW air in place across the region and keep rain chances above normal through the end of the forecast period. While rain chances stay high, this will help put a break in the heat, with high temperature returning to the upper 80s to low 90s through the middle of next week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 711 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

VFR conditions are expected to prevail at all terminals. A few SHRA remain near ABY, but should diminish in the next hour or two.
There is a low chance of fog at DHN, ECP, and TLH near sunrise Saturday, but chances aren't high enough to include in the TAFs.
TSRA will develop during the afternoon with the highest chances near TLH and VLD. PROB30s have been introduced for these sites.
Chances are lower elsewhere.

MARINE
Issued at 857 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Mainly gentle west to southwest breezes will prevail through this weekend with some local enhancements along the coast in association with the nearshore seabreeze. As a frontal system approaches next week, stronger southwesterly to westerly flow will develop with seas building to 3 to 5 feet.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 332 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Hot and mostly dry weather will prevail through today. Afternoon temperatures will generally be in the middle 90s with only isolated showers and thunderstorms along the sea breeze in our Florida Districts. Heat indices are expected to be in the 106 to 110 degree range on Saturday. MinRH will generally drop to between 40 to 50 percent through Saturday before increasing slightly Sunday and Monday. Rain chances will also increase somewhat this weekend as moisture returns to the region. However, the best chance of wetting rains will come next week.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 332 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

No significant flash or riverine flooding is expected through the weekend. Locally heavy downpours are expected within any showers and storms that develop.

For early next week, given the risk areas already present, flash flooding is a concern for Monday and Tuesday. Deterministic rainfall amounts are relatively high already at this time range, so watching the trends in both the risk areas and rainfall forecast can help better understand flood vulnerability. Western areas have already been especially wet from rainfall in May and are much more vulnerable to flash flooding than eastern portions of the forecast area.

In the meantime, it's been a very dry start to June. The Tallahassee area is currently tied for the 5th driest start to June on record with only 0.02 inches of rain so far at the airport through the first 11 days of the month. Severe to exceptional drought continues for areas generally east of the Apalachicola and Flint Rivers as these areas missed out on the most beneficial recent rains. The drought features long term impacts that are affecting rivers, lakes, and ponds that are still below normal despite recent rains.
