  gusts should subside by morning.

  some fire concerns the next couple days.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 821 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

Overall, the forecast is on track. Winds are diminishing, but
haven`t quite gone calm. Therefore, temperatures were left as-is
from the afternoon forecast package. The caveat still remains: if
winds do go calm for any number of hours overnight, temperatures
could fall into the 40s for the first time for much of the area
since early May!

.SHORT TERM...
(This Evening through Sunday)
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

Afternoon trends have improved enough to prompt an early
cancellation of the Wind Advisory for SE AL. The FL Panhandle will
maintain its headline until this 8PM EDT/7PM CDT where conditions
remain gustier.

A cool and dry post-frontal airmass prevails this weekend. The
official forecast calls for overnight lows in the upper 40s to low
50s and upper 60s/low 70s for highs amidst mostly clear skies.
Elevated winds should keep the boundary layer stirred up enough to
preclude lower min temperatures. However, if winds happen to
slacken enough, then some isolated locations may trend cooler than
expected (e.g., mid 40s) as suggested by MOS guidance.
Regardless, these winds are likely to make those in SE AL & SW GA
feel like it is the mid 40s. Overall conditions will definitely
more like autumn with comfortable humidity.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Oct
17 2026

Our region is expected be sandwiched between a narrow upper ridge
to our west and trough along the Eastern Seaboard. A coastal
Atlantic Low is forecast to develop and reinforce dry northerly
flow down our way. Therefore, the remainder of the forecast period
will be met by continued dry weather, a gradual warming trend
(widespread highs in the 70s, isolated low 80s), and cooler-than-
normal overnight lows (upper 40s/low 50s).

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 725 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

VFR conditions through the forecast period at all terminals.
Northeasterly winds prevail tonight around 5 to 10 knots. Expect
winds to increase again after sunrise Sunday with routine 20 knot
gusts expected through the day.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

The Gale Warning for St Andrews Bay was replaced by a Small Craft
Advisory until this 8PM EDT/7PM CDT as afternoon observations
have shown improved conditions.

CWF Synopsis: Hazardous marine conditions continue through this
weekend with some gradual improvement early this upcoming work
week. Northeasterly gale gusts are likely to subside by tomorrow
morning, but advisory winds and seas linger. Small craft should at
least exercise caution Monday afternoon through Tuesday. Come
mid-week, favorable boating returns as the pressure gradient
relaxes. Northeasterly breezes prevail over the next several days.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

Post-frontal northerly breezes continue this weekend, before
slackening some on Monday. A cool and dry airmass prevails with
min RH forecast to be in the 30-40% range away from the immediate
coast. Some locations around the Wiregrass Region and parts of SW
GA are forecast to be near critical RH the next 3 afternoons, so
fire concerns may arise. These conditions are also likely to help
fuels dry out more effectively. Good to fair dispersions are
expected starting tomorrow. An extensive stretch of rain-free
weather amidst a gradual warming trend is on tap through much of
the upcoming work week.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

An extensive stretch of dry weather precludes flooding or
hydrologic concerns for the foreseeable future.
