- A HIGH CHANCE OF RAIN IS EXPECTED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, AND THIS
RAIN WILL BE BENEFICIAL GIVEN THE ONGOING DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS ARE MOST LIKELY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THERE IS A 50-70% CHANCE
OF 1 INCH OF RAIN OR GREATER FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE.
- THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NEAR AND ALONG THE EASTERN FLORIDA

SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EASTWARD WITH SURFACE WINDS
BECOMING EASTERLY. THE COOL AND DRY AIRMASS WILL START TO MODIFY
TODAY WITH INCREASING DEWPOINTS AND HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOWER
60S ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS TO THE LOWER 70S ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST BIG BEND. OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE MILDER COMPARED
TO THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS WITH MID 40S TO LOW 50S EXPECTED.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE TO LOOK HIGH FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A FAIRLY
STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AFFECTS THE AREA AND INTERACTS WITH A
SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION. THE 00Z GFS
DEVELOPS AN 850 MB JET OF 40-50 KNOTS ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY
NIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF FORCING FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH
THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. GIVEN
THE DYNAMICS, A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO OCCUR ON MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS WEAK INSTABILITY MOVES INLAND. THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITY CAN
RECOVER NORTHWARD AS SHEAR WILL LIKELY BE HIGH.
THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT LATER ON TUESDAY WITH A DRY DAY EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY. BEYOND WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER SYSTEM COULD APPROACH WITH
ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. SURFACE
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME EASTERLY TODAY. INCREASING MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A SCT-BKN STRATOCUMULUS DECK LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT TO AN EASTERLY DIRECTION TODAY AND
DIMINISH BELOW 20 KNOTS BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA ON TUESDAY. THIS FRONT WILL
BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY WITH WINDS INCREASING TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ON MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE HIGHER TODAY COMPARED TO THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE REGION. A
WETTING RAIN IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
HYDROLOGY
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025
THE NEXT POTENTIAL RAIN MAKER IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA
MAINLY ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE
REGION THE BEST CHANCE AT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THAT WE'VE SEEN IN
SOME TIME. THE MOST LIKELY RAINFALL AMOUNTS PAINT 1-2 INCHES
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
WITH 0.25-1 INCH VALUES ACROSS MOST OF THE REST OF THE AREA. THERE
IS A 50-70% CHANCE OF EXCEEDING 1 INCH OF RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
THIS WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL RAINFALL, BUT WE WILL NEED SEVERAL
OF THESE SYSTEMS TO ERASE THE LARGE RAINFALL DEFICITS ACROSS THE
REGION.
IN THE MEANTIME, EXTREME TO EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT CONTINUES. THE
MOST RECENT LOCAL DROUGHT INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND BY VISITING
