Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Spanish Fort, AL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Wed Oct 14 2026

Through Saturday night, a strong upper low over over the Southeast gets an eastward shove the end of the week as an upper trough moves from over the Plains to off the East Coast by Saturday evening. A strong cold front crosses the forecast area beginning mid day Friday and moving south of the coast by Friday evening, and south of area waters by Saturday morning. With a distinct lack of moisture with the strong cold front pushing across the forecast area, a temporary increase in clouds is the most that is expected, weather wise.
Near record high temperatures across the forecast area ahead of the frontal passage, with mid to upper 80s, plus a few 90s possible.
Behind the front, high temperatures drop into the upper 60s to low 70s for Saturday. Low temperatures in the low to mid 60s(upper 60s along the coast) drop into the upper 40s to low 50s Saturday night.

Sunday on, an upper ridge builds north over the Mississippi River, with a surface ridge building southwest along the Appalachians. The forecast remains dry, with minimal moisture return to counteract the post-frontal airmass that has moved over the forecast area.
Temperatures rise back to above seasonal norms in the coming week.

Taking a look at the Rip Current risk on area beaches, a Low Risk is expected the rest of the week. As strong easterly flow sets up over the weekend, a High Risk of Rip Currents returns Sunday on.

A surface ridge building south along the Appalachians later in the weekend into the coming week will shift winds to easterly, whilst remaining strong, especially over open Gulf waters.
