Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Rest Haven, GA

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 237 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025

The first real taste of cold is already starting to settle in across the area after a cold front moved through earlier today.
Strong NNW winds at 15-20mph will continue to gust to around 35mph. Winds are expected to ease late this evening as front sinks further south. But as the sun goes down, temps are expected to drop to the coldest we've seen yet this year. Overnight lows in the teens are expected across the CWA with wind chill values falling into the single digits. A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for the entire CWA so please plan for a chilly morning commute.

The start of the work week will continue to be cold and dry, though temperatures are expected to rebound some on Tuesday as ridging from the west builds in and pushes off the upper level low that brought us the cold in the first place. High pressure will allow high temps to return to the 50s and 60s with overnight lows closer to freezing which is closer to what we'd expect to see this time of year.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday morning through next Saturday)
Issued at 237 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025

The long term will start off with another morning of chilly temperatures as surface high pressure and the anomalously cold airmass remain over the region. Temps around sunrise on Tuesday will be in the low to mid 20s across much of the region under clear skies and light winds. Following this chilly start, a warming trend will take place through Thursday as the high shifts off to the east and a ridge slides to our south across the Gulf, sending a more seasonable (but still dry) airmass into the region within low to mid level SW flow. Low temps will climb to the low to mid 30s Tuesday night, and upper 30s to low 40s for Wednesday and Thursday nights. Highs warm from the low to mid 50s on Tuesday to the upper 50s on Wednesday, with low to mid 60s on Thursday.

Our next notable chance for rain appears very likely from mid-day Thursday through Friday, as a strong mid-level trough and associated frontal boundary ejects out of the Plains and slides across much of the eastern US. As has been the case with the storm track in recent weeks, the surface low will remain well off to the north over the Great Lakes, so our only concerns would be coverage and intensity of rain, which will be determined by how much moisture moves through with the frontal boundary. The guidance consensus has 0.25-0.5" across much of the area, with some of the higher end guidance at 1-1.25" in north GA. There will be a brief 'cool' down following this front Friday night, with lows dropping back down to the low to mid 30s. After that, the overall guidance consensus is favoring warmer and drier than normal conditions for the weekend into early next week as ridging starts to build across much of the CONUS.
