DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1016 PM CST FRI FEB 27 2026
THE MAIN FORECASTING HEADACHE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL
BE PATCHY TO AREAS OF DENSE FOG THAT DEVELOP EACH NIGHT, LINGERING
INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES, AND AMPLE
SURFACE COOLING WILL ALLOW FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA
AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THIS FOG WILL LIKELY REDUCE VISIBILITY
AT TIMES BELOW A QUARTER OF A MILE, NECESSITATING A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. DENSE FOG WILL BE MOST LIKELY
BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 7AM WHEN THE ADVISORY GOES INTO EFFECT. FOG
WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
WITH A SIMILAR OVERALL SETUP, SO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF
ANOTHER NIGHT OF DENSE FOG OCCURS AGAIN FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OTHERWISE THROUGHOUT THE
WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOMALOUSLY WARM WEATHER WILL BE HERE TO
STAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AS HIGHS STAY IN THE MIDDLE TO
UPPER 70'S THIS WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 80'S
FOR NEXT WEEK. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 40'S TO LOWER 50'S THIS
WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING BACK TO MIDDLE 50'S TO LOWER 60'S 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. MM/25
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1016 PM CST FRI FEB 27 2026
PATCHY TO AREAS OF DENSE FOG WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY DEVELOP
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL
ALABAMA INTO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THIS WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY
AND CEILINGS AS LOW AS LIFR AND EVEN VLIFR FLIGHT CATEGORY AT
TIMES THROUGH AROUND DAYBREAK. FOG GRADUALLY LIFTS THROUGH MID
MORNING WITH FLIGHT CATEGORY IMPROVING BACK TO VFR FOR THE DAY
SATURDAY. ANOTHER NIGHT OF FOG, LOCALLY DENSE, IS POSSIBLE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING, ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE ON
COVERAGE AND DENSITY IS NOT VERY HIGH AT THIS TIME. WINDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
GENERALLY LESS THAN 5 KNOTS. MM/25
