Now through Friday... Through the weekend, a pair of cold fronts cross the forecast area as a pair of upper level shortwaves pass over the Southeast. The first shortwave/cold front passes over the region tonight, ushering in a colder and drier airmass. With moisture return negligible ahead of this front, any precipitation is expected to be well offshore and light. A stronger cold front moves across the forecast area Saturday in response to a stronger upper level shortwave moving over the Southeast Saturday. This second front will enhance the cold airmass over the forecast area. Temperatures are expected to drop into the upper teens to mid 20s over most of the forecast area by Saturday morning with the first front. With strong winds, wind chills are expected to bottom out in the single digits to mid teens. The second shot of cold air Saturday will limit high temperatures over the forecast area to the 30s Saturday, with wind chills creeping into the 20s over the forecast area. The second shot of cold air will drop low temperatures into the teens over the forecast area Saturday night, with wind chills dropping into the single digits over the forecast area. An Excessive Cold Warning is in effect for the forecast area into Sunday morning. A Wind Advisory is in effect for Alabama and Florida Panhandle for Saturday into Saturday night as these stronger winds move across the area. Conditions begin to settle Sunday as surface high pressure begins to move east over the Lower Mississippi River Valley.

In the coming week, surface high pressure moves over the forecast area Monday night into Tuesday, shifting low level flow back to onshore by Tuesday. A modest moisture return occurs by mid week before another front moves over the forecast area Wednesday. Deterministic guidance has come into better agreement with the front's passage. Temperatures rise back to near seasonal norms ahead of the front, dropping below behind. Temperatures moderate upwards through the end of the week, with onshore flow quickly returning to the forecast area.

Offshore flow through most of the forecast will limit any swell, keeping the Rip Risk low through the weekend into the coming week. /16

Moderate to strong offshore flow develops tonight as a cold front passes. A reinforcing front passes Saturday, keeping offshore flow strong to very strong into Sunday. A Gale Warning is in effect for open Gulf waters and Mobile Bay beginning late Friday night, with a Small Craft Advisory likely to be issued for protected waters Thursday. Surface high pressure approaches area waters late Sunday into the coming week, easing winds over area waters into Monday, then shifting them to onshore in the coming week. /16
