VFR conditions will start the period, with IFR clouds lingering

skies. VFR conditions will then prevail through the remainder of
the period. /73

NEAR TERM...
(Now through Friday)
Issued at 244 AM CST Thu Feb 13 2025

Cold front currently moving east across the forecast area this
morning will be east of the area shortly after daybreak.  A broken
line of showers and thunderstorms continues along and just ahead of
the frontal boundary, but upper dynamics are quickly lifting out and
instabilities have decreased, resulting in a weakening trend of
storms. The strongest storms are actually over the western FL
panhandle, but those too are generally expected to remain mostly
below severe limits. There could be an outside chance of a few
more warnings, but that possibility is diminishing quickly. A few
lingering showers and storms will be possible east of I-65 in
south central AL and the western FL panhandle through around 9 am
this morning, but rains should be ending by late morning and then
expect a mostly dry forecast through the end of the near term
period. High pressure builds east across the area through the
period and much cooler temperatures are expected. May see some
isolated PoPs return to the western portions of the forecast area
by late Friday into Friday night as return flow becomes re-
established, but at this time PoPs for that timeframe are less
than 20 percent. Daytime highs today much cooler than the past few
days, ranging from the upper 50s and lower 60s over the far
northwestern portions of forecast area to the mid and upper 60s
over the southeastern portions (with some lower 70s along the
beaches, especially over the western FL panhandle). Slightly
warmer on Friday with highs mainly in the middle 60s. Lows tonight
will be colder, ranging from the mid and upper 30s over much of
the northern half of the forecast area to the low to mid 40s over
the southern half (and upper 40s to near 50 at the coast).
Somewhat warmer on Friday night with lows ranging from the upper
40s along the Highway 84 corridor and in the low to mid 50s for
most locations further south except right along the coast where
upper 50s and lower 60s are expected. A HIGH Surf Advisory
continues along the beaches of AL and northwest FL through noon
today, and a HIGH Rip Current risk continues along the beaches
through late tonight. DS/12

SHORT and LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 244 AM CST Thu Feb 13 2025

An upper level trough will begin to shift eastward into the Plains
early Saturday morning. A surface low, with a cold front trailing to
its south, will lift into the Mississippi Valley through the day on
Saturday. Meanwhile, a boundary off the coast will begin to lift
northward as a warm front, with southerly surface flow by the late
morning hours. As the trough moves eastward, flow aloft will also
become southerly with an influx of moisture through the vertical
column. Ahead of the trough and associated cold front, the strong
southerly flow will allow temperatures to rise into the upper
70s. Isolated showers will be possible during the day, especially
as the warm front lifts northward, but much of the daylight hours
are expected to remain dry. This will change as we head into the
evening hours, as a line of storms moves into the area from the
west. Timing of this line looks to be during the mid to late
evening through the morning hours on Sunday, with the line moving
east of the area by daybreak as the front moves through.

Digging into the threats associated with this system, there is
reasonable consistency among the global models, though
uncertainty on the intensity of the thunderstorms remains somewhat
high. From a synoptic standpoint, there are several limiting
factors that give me pause; the first being the strength of the
trough and height falls aloft. Based on the latest guidance, the
trough will maintain a positive to neutral tilt and will weaken
slightly as it moves through the Mississippi Valley. This will
limit height falls and cooling aloft, which will keep lapse rates
fairly weak. Additionally, though we'll have plenty of moisture
and WAA during the day, the airmass will be recovering from the
cooler airmass settling in behind the front currently moving
through the area. Thus, low level lapse rates look to be poor as
well. The other limiting fact is the timing of the event, more so
after sunset. With the loss of daytime heating, instability will
lessen a bit, though medium range guidance is likely cooling
surface temps a bit too much given the continued strong southerly
flow after sunset.

The main factor lending to a severe threat is the wind shear.
Despite the weaker trough moving through, the low level jet will
strengthen to around 45-50 kts Saturday evening, as the storms begin
to move into the area. This will be enough for convection to
maintain their organization. The challenge will be how much forcing
will be over the area for updrafts to strengthen and tap into the
more favorable wind shear. It's certainly not something we will
rule out, as a lot can change in 3 days. For now, we'll continue to
message isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms, with the
better chances over our northern counties. Timing will generally
be during the late evening through early morning hours. One thing
to note is the potential for isolated thunderstorms during the
afternoon. All the guidance points to an inversion during the day
which will limit this potential. It'll be something we'll monitor
over the next day or so, as these would be developing during the
more favorable instability.

As mentioned above, the front will pass through the area during the
morning hours on Sunday, with a dry and cold airmass settling in its
wake. Below normal temperatures are expected for much of next week,
with highs only warming into the 50s. Overnight lows will fall into
the upper 20s to lower 30s Sunday and Monday nights. /73

MARINE...
Issued at 244 AM CST Thu Feb 13 2025

A moderate to strong flow will be shifting to offshore across the
entire marine area this morning in the wake of a cold front. The
offshore winds may subside some through the course of the day,
especially over the near shore waters, but will increase back into
the 15 to 25 knots (with higher gusts) tonight and continue across
most of the marine area through Friday. Hazardous conditions for
small craft should be expected. Moderate to occasional strong
onshore flow returns ahead of the next system this weekend, with
moderate to strong offshore flow returning Sunday following the
passage of yet another strong cold front. A Small Craft Advisory
will be required over the latter part of the weekend as well.
