| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 635pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 .SHORT TERM... (This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 118pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 Dry northwest flow aloft will continue through Saturday. Meanwhile, an elongated surface high pressure center this afternoon stretches from north Georgia eastward into South Carolina. This feature will settle directly southward across I-10 on Saturday morning, before reaching the northeast Gulf on Saturday afternoon. This will support another night of ideal radiational cooling, given clear skies and the dry air mass. Otherwise, NE to E low-level flow across Northeast Florida this evening should push enough shallow Atlantic moisture inland tonight to see areas of fog around sunrise Saturday along the Suwannee Valley and inland of the northern Nature Coast. Long Term (Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 118pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 The tail end of a dry cold front will brush across Alabama and Georgia on Sunday. To its south, low-level westerly flow will start to increase on Saturday night and become gusty during the day on Sunday. In contrast to the dry air mass that is currently over our service area, surface dewpoints from western Alabama westward are in the moister 55F-60F range. So once low-level westerly flow kicks in, that moister air mass will spread eastward. Yet the dry cold front on Sunday will never really push a cooler and drier air mass any further south than the U.S. 82 corridor (Eufaula-Albany-Tifton). So for most of the region, once the moister air arrives, it will be in place through most of next week. The greatest impact will be in propping up nighttime and morning temperatures. Dewpoints in the 50s and lower 60s are also a climatologically favored range for early morning fog in the cold season, so there look for more foggy mornings next week. Surface high pressure will pass by north of the region on Monday, then move east of the Carolinas into the Atlantic on Tuesday. This will bring a turn to low-level southeast flow, keeping the air mass on the warmer and modestly muggy side. A longwave ridge axis that will hang out over Texas this weekend will move east next week, passing directly across our region around next Wednesday and Wednesday night. Once it moves off to our east on Thursday, we will start to come under southwest-west flow aloft on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately for those wanting rain, the jet stream will steer a wet system well north of our region around next Friday, across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. This far south, the most likely scenario is for isolated low- topped showers to line up in low-level southerly flow over the Gulf and spread inland across the Panhandle and SE Alabama. There are some notable outlier ensemble members and the 00z ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) that extend a wet front further south, bringing a better coverage of beneficial rain next Thursday night and Friday. For now, those beneficial scenarios are outliers, so low chance Probability of Precipitation are adequate for areas west of the Apalachicola and Flint Rivers. Marine Issued at 118pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 Gentle northeast breezes this afternoon will become light and variable on Saturday, as a high pressure center settles directly over the waters. Moderate westerly breezes will develop Saturday night and Sunday in response to the tail end of a cold front brushing across Alabama and Georgia. Southeast breezes will emerge late Monday and gradually increase a little each day through Wednesday. Fire Weather Issued at 118pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 A very dry air mass will linger on Saturday, particularly over Southwest Georgia where Relative Humidity will bottom out in the 25-30 percent range on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, the tail end of a dry cold front will brush by across Alabama and Georgia. The air mass will moisten a little on Sunday, but proximity of the dry front will support gusty westerly winds. High pressure will pass across the districts on Monday. Once it moves east on Tuesday, a turn to southeast winds will moisten the air mass further. Areas of fog are expected Saturday morning along the Suwannee Valley and inland of the northern Nature Coast. On Sunday morning, patchy fog is possible along and south of the U.S. 84 corridor. Hydrology Issued at 118pm EST Fri Nov 14 2025 Flooding is not expected for the next 7 days. No rainfall is expected through at least next Wednesday. Any rainfall later next week will not be hydrologically significant. Therefore, drought will persist and/or worsen.
