.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 256 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
Generally dry and warm conditions are expected today with more zonal
flow forecast aloft and surface high pressure overhead. Highs are
forecast slightly warmer than yesterday, ranging from the low to mid
90s. However, the drier air mass in place should keep forecast heat
indices only a few degrees warmer than the actual temperature. Lows
overnight tonight are forecast in the upper 60s to low 70s.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 256 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
A weak frontal feature looks to move across the region this weekend,
potentially increasing PoP chances. East to northeast flow at the
surface will confine most convective activity either offshore or
across southern GA, the FL Big Bend or coastal parts of the FL
Panhandle. This feature then stalls across the FL Peninsula and
northern Gulf on Monday through midweek. This will lead to unsettled
weather and increasing rain chances each day, primarily impacting
the aforementioned areas. From Monday onwards, northeast flow will
suppress moisture advection, leading to sub-70 degree dew points
across the region. Areas near the Gulf will hover around 70 Tds
leading to the best precip chances being near the coast.
Expect daytime highs to generally be in the low to mid 90s this
weekend dipping into the mid and upper 80s next week as unsettled
weather and cloud cover suppress high temps. Overnight lows
follow a similar cooldown pattern with temps initially in the low
70s this weekend dipping into the mid to upper 60s by midweek.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 118 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
VFR conditions are expected through the period.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 256 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
Winds will be light to gentle out of the east through this weekend.
As a cold front moves through the waters Sunday and Monday, winds
will become northerly to northeasterly and increase. Cautionary to
advisory level winds will be possible beginning Monday night lasting
into mid week, as the pressure gradient tightens between a low off
northeast Florida and a high over the Appalachians. Seas will also
respond and build to 2 to 4 feet.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 256 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
Outside of isolated showers and storms, no significant weather is
anticipated through the weekend. Dispersions will be generally good
across the area over the next several days. Dispersions may be high
in the southeast Big Bend Friday and over the Panhandle and Big Bend
on Sunday. Transport winds will generally be easterly around 5-10
mph Friday, then becoming northerly to northeasterly through the
weekend.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 256 AM EDT Fri Sep 5 2025
Little in the way of rainfall is expected through the next several
days. Rainfall totals will be less than an inch overall across the
area. There are currently no flooding concerns.
