.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

High pressure will dominate the weather today with light winds and
abundant sunshine. Highs this afternoon will be near to slightly
below average with mid to upper 70s. Winds go calm tonight for
most spots, and with clear skies, we`ll have a good radiational
cooling setup. However, the only wrench in this setup is somewhat
higher dew points arriving from the east. Still think we`ll be
able to cool off rather effectively, so nudged lows below guidance
to yield mid 40s to lower 50s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Thursday will be another spectacular spring day with highs near 80
under sunny skies. Lows Thursday night will be in the 50s. A
rather impressive shortwave dives southeastward over the eastern
parts of the US heading into Friday. This sends a cold front into
our area Friday morning and afternoon. Moisture return is rather
meager with PWATs only recovering to 0.8 to 1.0 inch. Thus, at
most we`ll see isolated to scattered showers and storms. If we can
get a thunderstorm or two from this, there will be rather steep
mid- level lapse rates in place which could help produce some
small hail and gusty winds. Otherwise, highs will be in the mid to
upper 70s. It may be a bit breezy at times behind the front with
gusts of 20-25 mph possible. Colder air returns again Friday night
with lows in the 40s and 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Cold air advection behind Friday`s front will keep highs in the
upper 60s to lower 70s despite abundant sunshine. Lows will drop
off into the 40s. Temperatures quickly rebound as ridging builds
into the eastern US heading into early next week with highs
returning to the 80s and lows in the 50s.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1237 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

VFR conditions prevail for the next 24 hours with light northerly
winds. The sea breeze this afternoon may cause winds to shift out
of the west at ECP after 18z.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Northerly winds will decrease through the morning with generally
light breezes through Thursday. Winds will become more westerly
Thursday, then increase Thursday night ahead of a cold front.
Moderate to strong northwest breezes will follow the front on
Friday night and Saturday morning. High pressure in its wake will
help relax the winds over the weekend.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Generally light north to northeast transport winds around 5-10
mph and mixing heights around 5,000-6,000 feet will yield fair to
good dispersions for most of the area. The exception will be the
southeast Big Bend where transport winds and mixing heights will
be maximized. Transport winds become more westerly on Thursday,
though still only topping out around 10 mph with good dispersions
area wide. A cold front moves through the area Friday morning and
afternoon with a low chance of showers and storms. However,
transport winds become strong out of the west to northwest around
15-25 mph, and mixing heights increase during the afternoon.
Dispersions will be very high Friday afternoon.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 249 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Rainfall from Friday`s front will be rather minimal and not
widespread. Thus, no additional flooding is anticipated.

Minor flooding continues along the Apalachicola at Blountstown
given upstream releases on the Chattahoochee and from Woodruff Dam
at Lake Seminole. The Kinchafoonee will remain in action stage as
the gage at Preston has crested. The Flint River forecasts have
continued to trend downward, and the river may not make it to
action stage. The upper Ochlockonee has crested in action stage at
Thomasville, and the rest of the basin will remain comfortably
below flood stage. The lower Choctawhatchee will continue to rise
to action stage over the coming days, but remain well below flood
stage. The Aucilla will remain in action stage for the next
couple days.
