Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
909 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

...New UPDATE...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 900 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

- Patchy to areas of fog is expected this morning across the Tri-
  State region. Fog could be dense in some locations.

- A strong cold front will push through the region on Sunday.
  Cold weather products are expected to be issued for Sun-Mon and
  Mon-Tue. Dangerously cold wind chills are expected Monday
  morning, with a medium (30-60%) chance for a Hard Freeze (temps
  below 25 degrees) on Tuesday morning for our SE Alabama and SW
  Georgia counties.

- Small craft conditions are likely later Sunday into Monday
  morning for the Gulf waters. Isolated gusts to gale force are
  possible west of Apalachicola.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 900 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Areas of dense fog are slowly diminishing. There are currently two
separate fog banks. One extends from Calhoun County FL and
eastward along I-10 and up into Brooks and Lowndes Counties in GA.
The other has been centered around Albany and adjacent areas. This
should slowly dissipate over the next hour or two, but we may need
to extend the Dense Fog Advisory in a few spots for another hour
if it continues to linger.

The other change to the forecast this afternoon was to add some
low-end rain chances (around 20%) from northern Walton County up
into Dale County. A few isolated showers are possible in the
warm air advection regime, and hi-res guidance has started
trending toward that possibility. But little to no impact is
expected from these showers. Otherwise, the forecast elsewhere
remains on track.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 150 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Patchy to areas of fog, with dense fog possible, is expected to
develop this morning and may linger into the late morning hours.
The most likely locations for dense fog will be in the AL and GA
wiregrass regions and the FL Big Bend region. Surface high
pressure still keeping us warm and dry during the day. Light
southerly winds with highs in the low 70s this afternoon. There is
a slight chance for showers very late tonight in SE Alabama. This
will be dependent on the forward speed of the approaching cold
front, which may delay the rain until daybreak Sunday morning.
Temperatures this morning and tonight will be in the mid to upper
40s, and warming to the low 50s along the Emerald Coast for
tonight.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 150 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

One would think this should be a slam-dunk forecast but, alas,
reality is not so simple.

A strong cold front is expected to push through the region
beginning Sunday morning through the evening hours. Just ahead of
the front, there is a slight chance (30-40%) for showers in our SE
Alabama counties during the morning hours on Sunday, as well as
patchy fog for the FL Big Bend region. As the front comes through,
winds will quickly shift to the northwest with gusts up to 25 mph
and become more northerly through the night. The wind gusts will
decrease during the day Monday.

Colder temperatures are expected behind the front but, the there
is uncertainty in how quickly the colder temperatures will move
into the region and also how cold it will get for Monday and
Tuesday mornings.

- When the cold front arrives, our AL and GA counties may
  experience falling temperatures during the day on Sunday, with
  the highest temp of the day occurring in the morning. This will
  depend on how strong the cold air advection is following the
  frontal passage as well as the timing of the passage.

- The wind behind the front through the overnight hours Sunday
  into Monday will be a gentle breeze around 10 mph, which would
  be enough to create wind chills (feels-like temperatures) in the
  upper teens to low 20s by Monday morning. For areas along and
  north of I-10, there is currently a high chance of experiencing
  wind chills below 25 degrees Monday morning. The same area has
  at least a 25% chance of experiencing wind chills below 20
  degrees. These wind chills are expected to reach criteria for a
  Cold Weather Advisory will needing to be issued for this time
  period.

The coastal panhandle should finally experience their first freeze
of the season Monday morning. Due to that, they may need a Freeze
Warning for this time period, along with the aforementioned Cold
Weather Advisory.

- As the winds decrease during the day Monday, the wind chills
  will moderate. However, temperatures will be struggling to make
  it out of the 40s for much of the region. There is uncertainty
  as the winds may shift easterly during the day, allowing for
  moisture return and some cloud cover to begin Monday. This could
  allow for temperatures to be a little warmer on Monday (low 50s
  instead of upper 40s), particularly for our eastern counties
  along the I-75 corridor and SE FL Big Bend.

- Winds will be light to calm Monday night into Tuesday with
  mostly clear skies. The CAA won't be active, so we will have to
  rely on radiational cooling and the location of the surface
  high. For Tuesday morning, due to the light/calm winds, wind
  chills will be the same or close to the actual temperatures.
  Forecast temperatures will be in the low to mid-20s, with temps
  in the low 30s along the immediate coast and SE Big Bend. There
  is a medium chance (30-60%) for temps to fall below 25 degrees
  for our AL and GA counties. This would be the night for a Freeze
  (Hard Freeze) Warning in our AL and GA counties.

During the day Tuesday, temperatures will gradually warm as an upper
level ridge begins to build. Temps will warm to the upper 50s and
low 60s, and continue this warming trend through Friday with
highs in the upper 60s/low 70s.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 621 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

TLH/ABY/VLD are affected by low cigs and vsbys down to IFR/LIFR
while some mid clouds have pushed into our western zones and have
kept ECP/DHN from crashing down to IFR. Removed mention from these
two TAFs while keeping degraded flight conds at the other three
terminals through 15Z. Afterwards, expect VFR to prevail through
the evening hours. Overnight, fog/stratus once again will develop
from ECP/TLH eastward. Towards DHN, a few showers are possible
late in the period with the approach of a cold front. IFR cigs
will be tied to the inbound cold front.

.MARINE...
Issued at 150 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Tranquil boating conditions are expected to prevail through the
rest of this week with winds becoming easterly/southeasterly by
this afternoon. On Sunday, a cold front will push through during
the day. Strong to near Gale sustained northerly winds with gale
force wind gusts are expected for Sunday night into Monday morning
with seas around 8 feet in our offshore waters. Conditions will
then begin to relax late Monday heading into Tuesday with more
favorable boating conditions returning.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 150 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Low dispersions are expected area-wide this afternoon. A strong
cold front will push through the region on Sunday, increasing
transport winds to 20-25 mph from the north and dispersions into a
moderate range. Ahead of the front, there is about a 40% chance
for showers in our SE Alabama districts. Freezing temperatures are
expected Sunday night and Monday night with northerly transwinds
around 20 mph Sunday night. Dew points will fall into the single
digits and teens for Monday, resulting in MinRH values between 20
and 30 percent for much of the region in the afternoon.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 150 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

A strong cold front brings a 10 to 40 percent chance for rain
Saturday night into Sunday morning, with the highest chances
across Southeastern Alabama. However, there are no flooding
concerns over the next several days.
