| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 607pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 .SHORT TERM... (This Evening through Sunday) Issued at 219pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 Afternoon satellite and surface observations show a very dry (Precipitable Water < 0.3") post-frontal airmass brought about by broad upper troughing across the Eastern CONUS. Surface high pressure is anchored over the Midwest down to the Lower MS Valley. Our proximity to this High should allow winds to slacken tonight and set the stage for favorable radiational cooling. Temperatures will respond by tumbling into the low-mid-30s away from the Emerald Coast. Some mid-to-upper clouds moving in from the west late tonight into early tomorrow morning may interrupt the process, but we are confident enough in portions of the AL Wiregrass into the Flint River Valley experiencing their first (light) freeze of the season beforehand. The inherited Freeze Warning from the overnight shift was expanded in area to now include Lee-Dougherty-Mitchell- Baker-Miller County, GA. The environment is also more supportive of frost development across most inland locations. These overall cold conditions are impactful to sensitive vegetation and vulnerable people. High temperatures rebound into the 60s Sunday afternoon under a mix of sun and clouds. Long Term (Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 219pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 A gradual warming trend gets underway starting Tuesday when well- defined upper ridging builds over the region. Prior to ridge's arrival, a tight pressure gradient develops between strong high pressure over the OH/TN Valley and a Gulf Low skirting offshore from the Northern Gulf Coast. This temporary pattern yields abundant cloud cover with moist SW flow just above the surface overriding shallow cool NE flow on Monday. Monday is shaping up to be raw/gloomy with highs forecast to range from the upper 50s to mid 60s for most of the Tri-State area. Some light showers/rain/drizzle may also pass through, but little to no accumulation is expected as the axis of greatest precipitation should remain offshore. Overall dry weather prevails this period. Tuesday's high temperatures rebound to the 60s, then increase to the 70s for the remainder of the work week. Lows in the 40s will be more common away from the coast, then become more mixed with 50s by mid- week. Marine Issued at 219pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 An ASCAT pass at 1528Z showed NE winds 10-15 kts across our local Gulf waters. CWF Synopsis: Temporary favorable boating conditions prevail this weekend thanks to moderate to gentle northeast breezes. By Monday, a tightening pressure gradient prompts northeast winds to freshen, which then become strong on Tuesday. Occasional gale- force gusts are possible during that time. Hazardous marine winds and seas persist into next weekend. Fire Weather Issued at 219pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 A cold and dry post-frontal airmass prevails the next 24-36 hrs with winds gradually increasing out of the northeast late this weekend into Monday. Near critically low RH is forecast over parts of SE AL, SW GA, and the FL Big Bend Sunday afternoon, but light winds and cool temperatures should preclude fire concerns. Moisture gradually rebounds thereafter. Abundant cloud cover on Monday yields highs ranging from the upper 50s to mid 60s for much of the Tri-State area. There is a low chance of showers mainly along/south of I-10, though any wetting rains are not expected. Overall dry weather persists amidst a warming trend through this upcoming week. Hydrology Issued at 219pm EST Sat Nov 14 2026 Little to no rainfall forecast precludes any hydrological concerns over the next several days.
