.SHORT AND LONG TERM...
(Today and Through Monday)
Issued at 1235 AM EST Tue Dec 23 2025

A large upper level ridge over the central and eastern third of
the country will control the sensible weather through much of the
upcoming week. At the surface, winds will generally be light and
variable across much of the forecast area until the weekend. Dry
conditions are likely.

Surface high pressure drifting off the coast of the eastern US
will drift back down the eastern seaboard and into the forecast
area into the middle of the week as the upper level ridge slowly
amplifies. While this will lead to generally light/variable winds
through Christmas, a weak mid-level shortwave moving down the
eastern side of the ridge could bring a brief period of elevated
northwesterly flow across our Georgia counties Tuesday evening
into Christmas Day.

The main forecast concerns through the middle of the week will be
increasing chances for fog. The aforementioned surface high
pressure, combined with good radiational cooling conditions and
absence of significantly dry low-levels, will lead to higher
likelihood for fog the next few overnights. The greatest potential
for fog appears Christmas Eve into Christmas morning as low-level
moisture begins to return to the forecast area from the west and
southwest. As for locations, the highest probabilities for fog
development through the period will likely be across the Florida
Panhandle, and southeast Alabama. These locations will be furthest
away from the subtle influence of the passing shortwave on
Tuesday evening into Christmas day.

Fog concerns will likely continue some into the upcoming weekend
as more low-level moisture returns, but confidence is lower as
southwesterly winds will increase ahead of our next system early
next week. This next system will bring a cool down to the region
and model ensembles have come into much better agreement on the
forecast compared to 24 hours ago. This front is likely to bring
temperatures back to below-normal levels for a few days. As for
rainfall, most ensemble members are not optimistic for any
beneficial rains.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1235 AM EST Tue Dec 23 2025

VFR conditions will prevail through the afternoon hours. A mid-level
stratus deck is moving in from the northwest toward DHN and ABY, but
restrictions are not expected. Meanwhile, some patchy fog may
develop near VLD and TLH close to daybreak with MVFR restrictions.
TEMPO groups remain for these two sites. A more robust round of fog
is expected to develop near the end of the TAF period at ECP and
TLH. LIFR to VLIFR restrictions will be likely near or after the end
of this TAF period and will likely expand to all terminals.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1235 AM EST Tue Dec 23 2025

High pressure will become established in the northern Gulf through
the end of the week leading to mostly light and variable winds
with favorable boating conditions into the weekend. Main maritime
concerns will be the potential for sea fog, especially across
nearshore waters and bays beginning tonight into the later part of
the week. The next frontal system doesn`t look to arrive until
early next week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1235 AM EST Tue Dec 23 2025

High pressure will be over the region today and through Christmas
Day but in the absence of any significant dry air masses and
elevated winds, fire concerns should remain on the lower side into
the weekend. The only concerns through Christmas Day will be periods
of low dispersions, especially along the Florida Panhandle and Big
Bend the next few days. No wetting rains are expected through the
next 5 to 7 days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1235 AM EST Tue Dec 23 2025

High pressure will set up across the southeast CONUS into the
weekend with the next cold front not arriving until late in the
weekend or early next week. Therefore, little to no rainfall is
expected over the next seven days. For more information on
local impacts from drought, please visit www.weather.gov/tae/LocalDrought.
