.NEAR TERM...
(Through Thursday)
Issued at 159 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Fairly seasonable and dry spring conditions are expected through
Thursday with surface high pressure over the area. Light northerly
winds will gradually become light southwesterly by tomorrow
afternoon, with high temperatures forecast in the upper 70s to low
80s. Lows overnight are forecast in the upper 40s to low 50s. Patchy
fog will be possible in the morning, mainly across the I-75 corridor
where moisture is forecast to be a bit higher. Otherwise, no
impactful weather is expected.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 159 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Generally benign conditions are expected throughout the extended
period. A cold front looks to approach the region from the northwest
Thursday night into Friday but it`ll be starved of moisture with dew
points barely increasing into the mid and upper 50s across our FL
counties. PWATs are looking to generally be around 1-1.25 inches,
with dry air within the atmospheric column, this cold front isn`t
expected to be much of a rain producer. Although, should any storms
develop along the cold front Friday afternoon, during peak
diurnal instability, particularly across south central Georgia and
the FL Big Bend, we could see some small hail. Otherwise, these
scattered storms, if any, could produce some strong gusty winds as
they collapse. Beyond Friday we`ll see surface high pressure
dominate beyond the long term.

Daytime highs generally stay in the mid 70s to mid 80s range outside
of Saturday, the day after the cold front where they dip into the
upper 60s to mid 70s. Overnight lows generally stay in the 50s
outside of Sunday morning where they dip into the 40s.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 115 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Some MVFR fog will be possible across eastern portions of the area
in the morning, with VLD most likely to be impacted. Otherwise,
VFR conditions are expected through the period.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 159 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

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 159 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Dry and warm conditions are expected on Thursday before a cold front
pushes through the region late Thursday night into Friday morning. A
few showers will be possible ahead of and along this front, but
widespread rainfall or heavy totals are not expected. In the wake of
this front, breezy northwesterly flow and high mixing heights will
lead to excellent dispersions and dry conditions both Friday and
Saturday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 159 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025

Minor flooding continues along the Apalachicola at Blountstown given
upstream releases on the Chattahoochee and from Woodruff Dam at Lake
Seminole. Otherwise, no additional area rivers are expected to reach
flood stage. Additional flooding concerns are not expected with
Friday`s cold front with additional rain not expected until at least
the middle of next week.
