Updated at 1258 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1258 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

Periods of light rain will continue through the weekend as a longwave trough moves ever slow slowly eastward across eastern North America with the base sagging southward into our region. We are only expecting additional rainfall amounts to range from 0.1 to 0.4 of an inch northwest of the Interstate-65 corridor, and from 0.4 to 0.8 of an inch to the southeast over the weekend. Light winds will also occur over the weekend as a strong cold front approaches our region from the northwest, and there could be some patchy fog developing late Saturday night across the northern half of the forecast area. This cold front will pass through the area Sunday night ushering in a much cooler and drier airmass as a strong surface high pressure area builds in from the north. We are still forecasting sub-freezing temperatures across the northern half of the forecast area Monday night. Dry weather conditions will prevail through the remainder of the forecast, although a few spotty light showers may occur Wednesday night and Thursday night.

Beach Forecast: A LOW risk of rip currents will occur through the middle of next week. /22

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1138 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025

Area surface observations are reporting widespread IFR ceilings, with occasional drops to LIFR levels. These low ceilings are expected to persist through Saturday afternoon, with light to occasional moderate rain chances increasing along and southeast of the I-65 corridor through the morning hours Saturday into early afternoon. Light northerly winds will gradually shift eastward throughout the day Saturday. /22

MARINE

Issued at 1258 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

Mariners operating small craft on the Gulf from 20-60nm should exercise caution today. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be required late Sunday night through Monday evening as a strong cold front passes through the region. Otherwise, a light to moderate northerly flow will shift northeasterly this afternoon, and then easterly to southeasterly tonight. Winds will shift back to northeasterly on Sunday prior to the arrival of the cold front. /22
