AN UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BECOME ZONAL THROUGH MONDAY
WITH UPPER RIDGING BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES AND SURFACE COOLING WILL ALLOW
FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF PATCHY DENSE FOG LATE TONIGHT. OTHERWISE,
DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. ABOVE
NORMAL WARM WEATHER WILL BE HERE TO STAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE AS HIGHS STAY IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S THIS WEEKEND
BEFORE RETURNING TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S FOR NEXT WEEK. LOWS WILL
BE IN THE MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S THIS WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING
BACK TO MIDDLE 50S TO LOWER 60S MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. A LOW RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY, BECOMING A
HIGH RISK FOR STRONG RIP CURRENTS ONCE AGAIN TUESDAY AND AT LEAST
A MODERATE RISK CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES INCREASE

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 600 PM CST SAT FEB 28 2026
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE AREA WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT THE REDUCTION OF DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS AND INCREASING FOG POTENTIAL. THE MOST LIKELY TIMING
FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT WILL BE BETWEEN AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH
SUNRISE. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR VLIFR VISIBILITIES AND DENSE FOG
APPEARS TO BE ACROSS COASTAL ALABAMA WHICH INCLUDES KMOB AND KBFM.
THERE WILL ALSO BE DENSE FOG POTENTIAL AT KPNS AND KJKA, BUT THE
UNCERTAINTY AT THESE SITES REMAINS HIGHER AT THIS TIME.
ANY FOG THAT DEVELOPS WILL GRADUALLY MIX OUT SUNDAY MORNING WITH A
RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY SUNDAY. /JLH
