| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 143am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 .SHORT TERM... (Today and Saturday night) Issued at 139am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 This morning, it will be chilly with lows in around freezing with wind chills as well in the low 30s as winds will be light to calm. Areas of to widespread frost is expected to develop in the pre-dawn hours for the Tri-State region except along the immediate Emerald Coast. Surface high pressure will continue to dominate our weather for today through the end of the short term. Clear to mostly clear skies and seasonably warm temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s are expected for afternoon highs. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 40s. Long Term (Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 139am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 A strong cold front will be pushing through during the day Sunday. Ahead of the front, there is a 20%-40% chance for light showers in the AL Wiregrass region and Eastern FL Panhandle. The winds will begin to turn from the northwest in our SE AL counties during the morning hours as the front pushes southeast through the day. It will be notably breezy by Sunday afternoon. Temperatures and (especially) dew points will be falling through the evening and overnight hours. Early Monday morning, temps will be in the mid to upper 20s and around 30 degrees along the coast. With the elevated winds at around 10-15 mph, wind chills are expected to bottom out in the mid and upper teens. Don't expect temperatures to warm up much during the day as highs will struggle to make it to 50 degrees for areas along and north of I-10, with most of the region in the mid 40s. The southeast Big Bend and coastal regions will have high temps on Monday in the low 50s. Monday night will be cold again with lows in the low to mid-20s, area wide. Winds are expected to be near calm Monday night/Tuesday morning, so wind chills will be pretty close to the actual temperature. A strong surface high will settle over the region Tuesday afternoon and begin a gradual warm up to more seasonable temperatures through the rest of the week. For midweek, there looks to be an upper-level shortwave trough that could bring in a slight chance (<20%) for rain, however there doesn't seem to be more of an impact than that. Marine Issued at 139am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 Tranquil boating conditions are expected to prevail through the rest of this week with southwesterly winds becoming easterly on Saturday. On Sunday, a cold front will push through during the day into the evening hours. Strong to near Gale sustained northerly winds with gale force wind gusts are now forecast for Sunday night into Monday morning with seas approaching 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 139am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 Surface high pressure will keep temperatures through this weekend seasonably warm with dry conditions. Dispersions this weekend will be fair to moderate today (Friday) with poor values in the extreme SE Big Bend. Pockets of low dispersions on Saturday with light variable winds becoming southwesterly. On Sunday, a strong cold front will push through, increasing transport winds to around 20-25 mph during the evening and overnight hours Sunday into Monday, with higher winds along the immediate Emerald Coast. Ahead of the front, there is about a 20-40% chance for light showers in the AL/GA Wiregrass regions and Eastern FL Panhandle, yet a "wetting rain" is not expected. Dispersions will be moderate with a few pockets of high dispersions along I-75 in our GA districts. For Monday, dew points start very low from the single digits in AL and GA, and low teens for FL districts. MinRH will be in the mid-20s and low 30s for Monday with northeasterly transport winds decreasing to around 10 mph with fair dispersions. Hydrology Issued at 139am EST Fri Dec 12 2025 A strong cold front brings a 10 to 40 percent chance for rain, with the highest chances across Southeastern Alabama. Even then, the probability of any location receiving more than 0.25" is less than 5 percent for the entire region. Therefore, no flooding concerns are anticipated. The latest Drought Monitor came out yesterday and shows a one category improvement for much of the area east of the I-75 corridor thanks to this past weekend's rain.
