.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 355 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

A weak cold front looks to move across the region today, minimal
upper-level forcing will prevent this front from being anything more
than pop-up showers as it moves across the region. Dense fog across
the FL Big Bend this morning will gradually lift after sunrise.
Winds shift to being out of the southwest today to being out of the
northwest tonight behind the cold front. This will lead to drier air
moving into the region overnight.

Expect daytime highs generally in the low to mid 80s today with
overnight lows generally in the mid to upper 50s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 355 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

Behind the cold front expect dry conditions through midweek,
before the next cold front looks to approach the region from the
west. Models are in agreement that a trough will move across the
southeast Wednesday into Thursday. However, similar to this
weekend`s shortwave, forcing for ascent from PVA will be minimal.
Forcing may primarily come from being under the right entrance
region of the upper-level jet streak. It`s still fairly uncertain
how widespread precip coverage will be, but current guidance
favors less than half an inch of rainfall. Make sure to come back
for updates.

Expect daytime highs to generally be in the upper 70s to low 80s
until the mid-week cold front moves through. By Friday daytime highs
dip into the low to mid 60s. A similar trend in the overnight lows
with temps initially in the 50s dipping into the upper 30s to mid
40s by Friday morning.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 632 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

Conditions at area terminals are slowly improving as wind begins
to pick up ahead of a cold front moving through the region today.
Terminals currently being impacted by patchy to potentially dense
fog should see that fog start to lift into low cigs as winds pick
up. Low cigs will then gradually lift throughout the morning and
early afternoon hours as the front moves through. A return to VFR
conditions is expected by the mid to late afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 355 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

Light to gentle southwesterly breezes will continue through this
morning before turning westerly to northwesterly this afternoon into
tonight following a cold front. Winds will gradually shift out of
the east by Monday then southerly and increasing to moderate on
Tuesday ahead of the next cold front. Seas remain favorable at
around 1 to 3 feet.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 355 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

Southwesterly Transport Winds turn more westerly throughout today as
a cold front clears the area. An isolated shower or two is possible
along the front as it moves from northwest to southeast across the
region this afternoon. Mixing heights of 3-4k ft are forecast this
afternoon before increasing to 4-5k ft behind the cold front Sunday
afternoon. MinRH values of 50-60 percent are forecast this afternoon
before dropping to between 35-45 percent Sunday and Monday
afternoons.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 355 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

Rainfall amounts across the region will generally be around half an
inch or less over the next week. Thus, drought conditions will
therefore persist and/or worsen across much of the Tri-State area.

As of Thursday, November 19, 2025, the US Drought Monitor now has
the area around the Florida-Georgia state line outlined in
Exceptional Drought (D4), which is the highest category on the
drought monitor. This is the first time since the 2011-2012 winter
that any part of our area of responsibility has been outlined in
Exceptional Drought.
