.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 426 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

Ridging will maintain control of our weather today with temperatures
remaining several degrees above normal. However, it does not appear
daily records will be reached. As the upper ridge moves east, the
flow will become more zonal. A cold front will approach the area
from the northwest late tonight bringing a chance for showers and
thunderstorms to our northwest counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 426 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

Models remain in agreement that a frontal system looks to move
across the region on Wednesday. Showers and thunderstorms could
be possible along this front. This frontal system forced by a
trough that is lifting quickly towards the Midwest and as such
forcing for ascent quickly lifts to the north. Although
instability will be plentiful, mid-level dry air will be a
limiting factor as entrainment works to reduce buoyancy. Behind
the frontal system high pressure moves in and temps cool a few
degrees brining SE Alabama and SW Georgia into the mid and upper
80s on Friday. This cool down is short-lived as we climb back up
into 90+ degrees this weekend. We`ll experience a relatively dry
heat this weekend as northerly flow prevails, brining with it dew
points in the 50s for areas away from the Gulf Coast. Southerly
flow returns on Sunday and so do the muggy conditions. Expect
overnight lows generally in the 60s. Our next frontal system looks
to approach the region towards the end of the long term period.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 630 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

The period starts with IFR conditions at all inland terminals with
TLH and VLD at VLIFR. VFR conditions will return by around 14Z
with gusty south to southwest winds during the afternoon hours.
Isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorms could reach DHN by
the end of the period ahead of a cold front. MVFR ceilings are
forecast with IFR possible at TLH and VLD.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 426 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

Gentle to moderate west-southwesterly breezes are expected ahead
of a cold front that is expected pass over the waters Wednesday
into Wednesday night. Ahead of the front, winds may increase for
our nearshore waters, but are expected to remain below Advisory
criteria. Showers and thunderstorms are possible ahead and along
the front. Following the front, high pressure will build over the
region leading to dry conditions and light winds.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 426 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

It will be rain-free but humid today. There will be chances for
wetting rain and lightning ahead of a cold front on Wednesday. Much
drier air will arrive behind the front, but light winds will
preclude any red flag concerns. Dispersion indices will be high over
inland areas both days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 426 AM EDT Tue May 20 2025

No riverine or flash flooding concerns over the next several days,
given light rainfall amounts across the region as well as
upstream.
