..BEACH FORECAST

The rip current risk is now low today and lasts through mid next week for all area beaches in Florida and Alabama. We are seeing an uptrend in winds, so an increase to moderate rip current risk may be necessary beginning next Wednesday when a strong easterly flow may set up. Outside of any storms, surf heights remain generally 1 to 2 feet through mid next week.

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 618 AM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026

Low ceilings and reduced visibility from stratus and patches of fog should lift over the next couple hours, with VFR flight category returning to all locations by mid to late morning. Scattered showers and storms near the coast should gradually develop and spread inland today, resulting in temporary reductions in flight category.
