.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...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1126 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

An area of isentropic upglide created low end MVFR to LIFR
conditions will sag south over the forecast area through the
forecast. Light rain mixed in will bring local rises in conditions
this afternoon into this evening before the rain moves off. Am
expecting operations to be impacted later tonight into Sunday as
VISBYs drop. Winds are expected to be the easiest portion of the
forecast, with northeast to east around 5 knots or less expected.

.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.
