Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Daphne, AL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1244 AM CDT Tue Mar 10 2026

Patchy to areas of dense fog will again develop tonight. Tuesday will be dry and warm as upper ridging builds over the area in advance of a digging trough over the southwestern states. As this trough ejects eastward Wednesday into Wednesday night, it will send a cold front into the area. A line of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop ahead of the front and move across the area Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Increasing instability and deep layer wind shear will create an environment favorable for isolated strong to severe storms. There is currently a Marginal to Slight risk of severe storms across the area Wed night through Thursday morning. A cooler and drier airmass will follow in the wake of the front Thursday into Thursday night. Temps will warm through the end of the week into the weekend ahead of another cold front approaching the area early next week. /13
