...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE... Issued at 858 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

The previous forecast appears to be on track, and no major changes were made.

&&

.NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 206 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

The "backdoor" frontal passage has stalled over the NE Gulf. A tightening pressure gradient will increase winds over land today, making it a little breezy with gusts up to 30 mph. Dew points will be noticeably lower with values falling into the low to mid 50s for the Tri-State region, except the SE FL Big Bend. Temperatures today will remain warm with highs in the low to mid 80s, with pockets of upper 80s to around 90 degrees along the immediate coast this afternoon. Overnight lows will generally be in the mid-60s. There is an isolated chance for spotty showers along the coast this afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 206 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

The tight pressure gradient generating the gusty winds up to 25 mph will continue to hold in place through the weekend. During the day on Saturday, an inverted trough appears to move across the NE Gulf, allowing moisture advection with increasing dew points. PWATs increasing to be above 2 inches, and enough forcing to generate scattered PoPs of 50%-70% for Sunday and Monday. Upper level ridging begins to build back in by Tuesday, lowering our rain chances through the rest of the period.

Afternoon high temperatures during the period will generally be in the mid-80s. Overnight low temperatures will be in upper 60s to low 70s.

.AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 609 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

VFR through the period, with one exception. MVFR cigs may develop into southeast Georgia and move into VLD after 07Z. Otherwise, northeast winds will become gusty beginning mid morning through the day with speeds 18-22 knots.

&&

.MARINE... Issued at 206 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

Winds and seas are on the rise. A cold front stalling over the waters will cause a tightening pressure gradient that will have northeasterly winds at Advisory level, 20-25 kts, with gusts around 30 kts through the weekend. Seas are expected to rise to 5-8 feet with occasional 9-foot waves in our western offshore waters. Showers and thunderstorms are likely, mainly in our offshore waters, through the weekend. Winds and seas will begin to relax at the start of the work week as the center of the surface high to our north shifts to the east.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 206 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

Between high pressure to our north and a stalled cold front to our south, a tightening pressure gradient will increase our winds over land for the next few days. Transport winds will be easterly/northeasterly at around 15-25 mph through the weekend. Drier air will also be filtering into the Tri-State region with dew points in the 50s for our Georgia and Alabama districts. MinRH will generally range from the low 30s% in AL and GA, with 40s% in Florida today, with gradually increasing values through the rest of the week into the weekend. Dispersions will be fair to moderate through the period with pockets of high dispersions throughout for the next few days.

&&

.HYDROLOGY... Issued at 206 AM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025

Rainfall amounts this weekend are expected to range from about a half-inch up to about an inch. Although any rain is beneficial, with local rivers flowing below normal, this will not be enough to cause any hydro concerns.
