Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Woodville, FL

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(This Evening through next Saturday)
Issued at 320 PM EDT Sun Aug 16 2026

Ridging overhead that has been responsible for the abnormally hot and extreme heat conditions will strengthen slightly on Monday, leading to an extreme heat warning being issued for portions of the FL Panhandle and western Big Bend. This ridging will generally remain in place through at least midweek, allowing high temperatures to soar into the mid to upper 90s across the area each afternoon. Towards the tail end of the week and into the weekend, this ridge is finally forecast to begin to weaken and shift as a front tries to approach the area from the north/northwest. Even still, temperatures are expected to remain in the 90s.

As this dangerous heat wave continues across the area, please limit time outdoors and take precautions against heat illness.
This heat is even more dangerous for sensitive groups such as the very young or elderly. Never leave children or pets in hot cars even with the windows cracked. Abnormally warm overnight lows will inhibit the ability to adequately cool off overnight and compound the daytime heat impacts.

Daily showers and storms are forecast to develop despite the ridging overhead. Some of these storms may be strong to severe at times, with gusty winds, lightning, and locally heavy rainfall the primary threats.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 130 PM EDT Sun Aug 16 2026

VFR conditions are generally expected to prevail throughout the TAF period.

Another brief bout of MVFR visibility is possible at VLD in the pre-dawn

MARINE
Issued at 320 PM EDT Sun Aug 16 2026

Persistent high pressure maintains favorable boating conditions the next several days outside of thunderstorms and morning fair- weather waterspouts. Light to moderate west breezes are forecast through the week with daily afternoon seabreezes along the immediate nearshore legs.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 320 PM EDT Sun Aug 16 2026

The main fire concerns are hazardous heat conditions persisting at least into the first half of this week, daily chances for afternoon thunderstorms, and potentially high dispersions for parts of SW GA & SE AL on both Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

High temperatures well into the 90s will be common with heat indices of 108 to 115+ degrees. Thunderstorms will be capable of frequent lightning, gusty/erratic winds, and locally wetting rains are additional threats. Prevailing west winds are forecast outside of daily afternoon seabreezes.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 231 AM EDT Sun Aug 16 2026

Thunderstorms will be capable of producing localized nuisance flooding in urban, poor-drainage, and low-lying areas. Otherwise, there are no significant hydrological concerns the next several days. All area rivers are currently running well below action stage.
