| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 211am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, Marine IRE WEATHER,Hydrology .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 - Areas of fog will continue to be a concern this morning and again on Saturday morning, followed by near record warm high temperatures in the afternoons. - A cold front on Saturday will increase the chance for showers and thunderstorms, and a marginal risk of severe weather exists mainly across the western half of the area. - Much cooler weather will return early next week following a cold frontal passage with a light freeze expected for portions of the area Sunday night and Monday night. .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 Unseasonably warm and muggy conditions will continue today and tonight as we remain firmly within the warm sector ahead of a cold front well to our west. Areas of fog this morning will lift by mid to late morning for most areas. Southerly flow will maintain a warm and moist low-level airmass for today with high temperatures generally ranging from the mid 70s to low 80s across the region. These values are close to record highs for the date. The main limiting factor on high temperatures this afternoon is how fast the morning cloud cover can erode. Low temperatures tonight are expected to range from the upper 50s to mid 60s with additional areas of fog and low stratus clouds expected. Long Term (Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 A cold will arrive on Saturday into Saturday night with a round of showers and thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has maintained a marginal risk of severe weather for Saturday across the western half of the area. Moderate shear and instability are the main supporting convective parameters while limiting factors are the favorable upper-level dynamics and forcing racing off to the northeast as the front trudges across the Tri-State area. Overall, isolated instances of damaging wind gusts are possible, but storms are expected to be weakening as they move through our area compared to farther west. Behind the front, much cooler and drier conditions will arrive early next week with a light freeze likely for Monday & Tuesday morning for a large portion of the area. The airmass will modify by the middle of next week ahead of our next system. Marine Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 Light to moderate southeast winds will persist ahead of an approaching cold front through Saturday morning. Winds will veer to southerly then southwesterly as the front nears the waters Saturday afternoon. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will also increase on Saturday ahead of the front. Northwest winds will freshen immediately following the frontal passage Saturday night into Sunday morning with advisory level conditions spreading from west to east and lasting through Monday morning. Fire Weather Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 There are no major fire weather concerns for the next couple of days. A cold front is expected to bring a round of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms to the area on Saturday, followed by a drier airmass with northwest winds and high dispersions on Sunday. Hydrology Issued at 207am EST Fri Jan 9 2026 There are no flooding concerns for the next several days. Rainfall amounts on Saturday are expected to be mostly light, generally less than a half inch for most locations. Drought conditions continue.
