- High Risk for Rip Currents at Northeast FL Beaches this Weekend. Moderate Risk at Southeast GA beaches

- Patchy Dense Fog Possible Sunday and Monday Morning at

AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

Except for areas in the vicinity of KOCF where low stratus remains, all other areas are VFR with scattered cirrus drifting from west to east. Light northwesterly winds will develop today and trend light while turning northeasterly after sunset this evening. For sites not along the immediate coast, winds will likely calm allowing the potential formation of very low stratus and shallow fog to develop after 06z.

MARINE

A cold front will have crossed over our local waters overnight and will advance further to the southeast by this morning. Northwesterly winds will strengthen over waters following the passage of the frontal boundary, followed by winds shifting to become more out of the north and then northeast by Saturday afternoon and evening as high pressure gradually builds into the southeastern states. Breezy northeasterly winds will allow seas to remain elevated at just below Caution levels for the offshore waters from Saturday afternoon through Monday. High pressure will then weaken over the southeastern states by Tuesday, allowing winds and seas to subside.

Rip Currents:

High risk of Rip Currents today and set through Sunday for northeast Florida beaches, with moderate risk for southeast Georgia beaches.

FIRE WEATHER

Conditions will trend drier through the weekend and into early next week with light to breezy northwesterly winds today gradually veering northeasterly through Sunday. Due to the lighter winds - both at the surface and the transport wind - poor dispersions are likely for the next several days. Though afternoon humidities will trend lower, critical humidity is unlikely through the next week. After a brief rebound in temperatures and humidity through the middle of next week, another strong cold front will push through the area Friday bringing chilly conditions and breezy winds.

FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER WEATHER REMARKS: Patchy inland fog possible Sunday and Monday mornings. Locally dense fog cannot be ruled out.
