.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1258 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025
Periods of light rain will continue through the weekend as a
longwave trough moves ever slow slowly eastward across eastern
North America with the base sagging southward into our region. We
are only expecting additional rainfall amounts to range from 0.1
to 0.4 of an inch northwest of the Interstate-65 corridor, and
from 0.4 to 0.8 of an inch to the southeast over the weekend.
Light winds will also occur over the weekend as a strong cold
front approaches our region from the northwest, and there could be
some patchy fog developing late Saturday night across the
northern half of the forecast area. This cold front will pass
through the area Sunday night ushering in a much cooler and drier
airmass as a strong surface high pressure area builds in from the
north. We are still forecasting sub-freezing temperatures across
the northern half of the forecast area Monday night. Dry weather
conditions will prevail through the remainder of the forecast,
although a few spotty light showers may occur Wednesday night and
Thursday night.
Beach Forecast: A LOW risk of rip currents will occur through the
middle of next week. /22

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1138 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025
Area surface observations are reporting widespread IFR ceilings,
with occasional drops to LIFR levels. These low ceilings are
expected to persist through Saturday afternoon, with light to
occasional moderate rain chances increasing along and southeast of
the I-65 corridor through the morning hours Saturday into early
afternoon. Light northerly winds will gradually shift eastward
throughout the day Saturday. /22

.MARINE...
Issued at 1258 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025
Mariners operating small craft on the Gulf from 20-60nm should
exercise caution today. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be
required late Sunday night through Monday evening as a strong cold
front passes through the region. Otherwise, a light to moderate
northerly flow will shift northeasterly this afternoon, and then
easterly to southeasterly tonight. Winds will shift back to
northeasterly on Sunday prior to the arrival of the cold front.
