| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 1220pm EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Short Term - Tonight Through Friday Long Term (This Evening through next Thursday) Issued at 1220pm EST Thu Nov 13 2025 The main story over the next week will be continuation of rain- free weather and worsening drought. We will be transitioning to an even warmer air mass next week. Through next Monday, little change in the longwave pattern is expected over North America. The 5-day average 500 mb pattern through Monday will feature a longwave ridge extending north from Texas through the Great Plains, with a trough from New England southward past Bermuda. This will place our region under dry northwest flow aloft. Within this flow, the very tail end of a dry cold front will brush by across Alabama and Georgia on Sunday. South of this front on Saturday and Saturday night, light low-level southwest flow off the Gulf will be enough to push dewpoints into the 50s, but then the front will be ineffective at pushing drier or cooler air back south into the region. From Tuesday through next Thursday, the longwave pattern will start to move eastward. So the longwave ridge axis over Texas will will move east across the Lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, the cross our region on Wednesday. Our low-level flow will become more decidedly southeasterly on Wednesday, which should moisten surface dewpoints to near or above the 60F mark. With warm air aloft, more places will see afternoon temperatures passing the 80-degree mark around midweek, while the muggier air mass will do even more to prop up nighttime temperatures. Model consensus for midweek is that the jet stream will steer organized weather systems will west and north of our region. Nonetheless, we do introduce low (15-20 percent) rain chances next Thursday to the Panhandle and Alabama Wiregrass. In an environment with some low-level moisture and southerly, possibly confluent flow off the Gulf, low rain chances should be adequate to cover any low-topped showers that can develop. Marine Issued at 1220pm EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Through Saturday, high pressure over the Southeast States will bring a continuation of gentle north and northeast breezes. A turn to moderate westerly breezes is expected Sunday as a dry cold front brushes by north of the waters. Southeast and southerly breezes will develop on Monday, freshening a bit on Tuesday. Fire Weather Issued at 1220pm EST Thu Nov 13 2025 A drying of the air mass on Friday will bring elevated fire weather conditions, particularly where it is driest across southwest Georgia. A weak return of south and southwest flow off the Gulf this weekend will start to moisten the air mass. The dry tail end of a cold front on Sunday will bring added gustiness to a west wind that day. A turn to southeast flow and a gradual increase in that flow next week will bring an even warmer and moister air mass. Hydrology Issued at 1220pm EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Dry conditions are expected to continue through the next week. Drought conditions will persist or worsen across much of the Tri- State area.
