DISCUSSION

Issued at 1053 PM CST Sun Dec 14 2025

A cold surface ridge settles over the extreme southeastern states on Monday and persists into Tuesday morning before slowly retreating off to the east through Wednesday. A Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect for the entire area until 9 am Monday for wind chill values as low as 12 degrees inland and around 15 degrees along the coast. Overnight lows range from around 20 well inland to the upper 20s/near 30 at the immediate coast. Highs on Monday generally range from the mid 40s well inland to near 50 closer to the coast. Lows Monday night range from the lower 20s well inland to around 30 at the coast. A warming trend ensues on Tuesday into Thursday as a southeasterly surface flow is established ahead of a cold front advancing across the Plains towards the area. Dry conditions are expected for the forecast area through Wednesday, then chance to likely pops shift across the area mainly from Thursday afternoon into the evening hours as the front approaches, then moves through.

Dry conditions return to the forecast for Friday and Saturday as a surface ridge shifts across the region in the wake of the cold front. Lows trend cooler Thursday night into Friday night to near seasonable values, and highs on Friday will be near seasonable values as well. Temperatures become mild by Sunday and into Monday with highs mostly in the lower 70s, and lows over the weekend will be mostly in the 50s. Another cold front looks to drift into the north central Gulf coast states on Sunday, then appears to briefly stall and drift back northward. The return of deep layer moisture to the region looks limited by Sunday so have continued with slight chance pops. Have gone close to 10% pops for Monday due to the potential for the frontal boundary to return back northward. Based on RCMOS guidance, opted to go with a moderate risk of rip currents for the northwest Florida beaches for Monday. Otherwise, a low risk is expected until a moderate risk is expected for all beaches Thursday and Friday. /29
