WE REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH TUESDAY  
NIGHT, LEADING TO PLEASANT WEATHER CONDITIONS AS HIGH TEMPS REACH  
THE MID TO UPPER 70S. FAIR WEATHER CLOUDS LEADING TO PARTLY CLOUDY  
SKIES EXPECTED. OVERNIGHT CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR PATCHY TO  
WIDESPREAD FOG WITH LIGHT TO CALM WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES. OVERNIGHT

SHORT AND LONG TERM
 
 
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)  
ISSUED AT 239 PM EST MON DEC 16 2024  
 
A DEEP TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS EASTERN CONUS WEDNESDAY AND  
THURSDAY. HOWEVER, IT'LL BE LACKING GOOD MOISTURE RETURN WITH PWATS  
STRUGGLING TO REACH 1.25 INCHES ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. OUR  
EASTERNMOST COUNTIES MAY BRIEFLY REACHING 1.5 INCHES AND THIS WILL  
LINE UP WITH WHERE OUR BEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE. OTHERWISE, LOW  
PRECIP CHANCES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION, WITH AROUND  
0.5 INCHES OR LESS OF RAINFALL EXPECTED. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT TEMPS  
WILL ONCE AGAIN DIP AS COLD AND DRY CP AIR BULLDOZES THROUGH THE  
REGION THIS WEEKEND.  
 
EXPECT OVERNIGHT TEMPS TO BE IN THE 30S POST-FRONTAL WITH DAYTIME  
HIGHS BEING IN THE 50S POST-FRONTAL.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF  
THE DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IFR TO LIFR VISIBILITIES APPEAR EXTREMELY  
LIKELY ACROSS KTLH, VLD, KDHN, AND KABY ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING.

THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR LESS THAN 1SM WILL BE AT KDHN, KABY, AND  
KVLD. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RESUME FOLLOWING 14Z, THOUGH SOME OF THE

IN A LONGER DURATION OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS.  
 

 
   
MARINE
 
 
ISSUED AT 239 PM EST MON DEC 16 2024  
 
GENERALLY FAIR BOATING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDWEEK. A  
COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF WATERS IN THE SECOND  
HALF OF THE WEEK LOOKS TO ELEVATE WINDS TO CAUTIONARY CONDITIONS,  
BORDERLINE SCA CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.  
 

 
   
FIRE WEATHER
 
 
ISSUED AT 239 PM EST MON DEC 16 2024  
 
LOW DISPERSIONS DUE TO LIGHT TRANSPORT WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH

FRONT.
