KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 544 AM CST SAT NOV 15 2025

AND WILL EXPAND INLAND THROUGH THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. ANOTHER
ROUND OF FOG, POTENTIALLY DENSE FOG, IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
- RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS MAY INCREASE TO A MODERATE RISK LATE IN

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 544 AM CST SAT NOV 15 2025
SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT THE DENSE FOG HAS SPREAD INTO THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF BUTLER AND CRENSHAW COUNTIES. DUE TO THIS, THE
DENSE FOG ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THESE COUNTIES.
FOG WILL START TO DISSIPATE A LITTLE AFTER SUNRISE, AND THEREFORE
THE ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 8AM. OTHERWISE, FORECAST
REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THIS MORNING. /96
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1254 AM CST SAT NOV 15 2025
DENSE FOG WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT CONCERN OVER THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS
WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE IS REALLY
KEYING IN ON THE WORST VISIBILITIES OCCURRING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE FOG SHOULD GRADUALLY
LIFT BY MID-MORNING WITH A RINSE AND REPEAT PATTERN EXPECTED FOR
TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. VISIBILITIES HAVE ALREADY PLUNGED
TO 1/4 MILE OR LOWER AT SEVERAL OBSERVING SITES ALONG THE COASTLINE
AS OF 06Z. OTHER THAN THE FOG SETTLING IN A FEW HOURS EARLIER THAN
ANTICIPATED ON THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE, THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
IS ON TRACK.
THE FORECAST REMAINS RAIN-FREE THROUGH THURSDAY BASED ON THE LATEST
GUIDANCE. WEAK RIDGING ALOFT CONTINUES TO NOSE INTO OUR AREA FROM
THE WEST TODAY BEFORE FLATTENING OUT SOMEWHAT AS A POTENT UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM DIVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. FLOW ALOFT
GENERALLY TURNS ZONAL EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE PATTERN ALOFT BECOMES
MORE AMPLIFIED BY MID-WEEK AS A DIGGING TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE
WESTERN CONUS ON THE HEELS OF A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES. THE SPREAD IN
THE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LESSEN AS WE ROLL TOWARD THE LATTER PART
OF THE WORK WEEK, BUT THERE ARE STILL NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE
DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMING,
PLACEMENT, AND AMPLITUDE OF THE INCOMING TROUGH. WHILE WE ARE
LOOKING AT INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AS WE GET INTO
THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK (FRIDAY AND BEYOND), THE LATEST ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE SEEMS LESS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS PATTERN WITH THE TROUGH
DAMPENING AND THE RIDGE REMAINING DOMINANT THROUGH EARLY WEEKEND.
BEACH FORECAST - RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS LOW THROUGH MID WEEK IN
THIS PATTERN. THE RIP CURRENT MOS PROBABILITIES CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THAT THE RISK MAY BRIEFLY INCREASE TO NEAR MODERATE LEVELS BY LATE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE BEACHES, ESPECIALLY
DESTIN. THE PROBABILITIES QUICKLY INCREASE THURSDAY FOR ALL BEACHES
AND A MODERATE RISK IS POSSIBLE BY THAT AFTERNOON. 07/MB

THIS FOG SHOULD EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE BY AROUND 14-15Z. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL THEN BECOME PREVALENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY
AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. FOG, SOME OF WHICH COULD BE DENSE, IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. /96

ISSUED AT 1254 AM CST SAT NOV 15 2025
