Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Fairhope, AL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 149 PM CDT Sun Sep 20 2026

The area remains in a northeasterly upper flow pattern between an upper ridge to the west and an upper low off the west coast of Florida. The upper ridge will continue to move westward and weaken while the upper low meanders off the coast of Florida an eventually gets absorbed into the upper level flow and moves northeast by Tuesday. Precipitable water values continue to increase as Atlantic moisture moves into the area around the upper low. The weakening ridge along with increasing moisture will allow scattered mainly afternoon showers and storms to develop the rest of today and Monday. The ridge rebuilds Tuesday into Wednesday with rain chances decreasing. A weak front moves through the area late Wednesday into Thursday with a drier airmass moving into the area. The lack of significant moisture ahead of the front along with the upper ridge will keep conditions dry as the front moves through.

Above normal temps in the low to mid 90s continue through midweek before some slightly cooler and drier air moves into the area behind the front late in the week. /13
