Light and gentle breezes will prevail through today as high pressure settles over the waters. As the high center moves east and a low center approaches the Mississippi Valley on Thursday, southeasterly and southerly winds will start to increase. This may result in near-shore marine fog later in the week as southerly flow returns. The probabilities would be highest across the Apalachee Bay where cooler shelf waters could result in some sea fog formation later in the week. Winds behind the cold front late Saturday into Sunday will become more westerly to northwesterly. $$ GMZ730-751-752-755-765-770-772-775-200215- Apalachee Bay or Coastal Waters From Keaton Beach to Ochlockonee River FL out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL out 20 NM- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola FL out 20 NM- Coastal Waters From Ochlockonee River to Apalachicola Fl out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Suwannee River to Keaton Beach FL out 20 NM- Waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Apalachicola to Mexico Beach FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Suwannee River to Apalachicola FL from 20 to 60 NM- 823 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025 /723 AM CST Wed Nov 19 2025/ .REST OF TODAY...Northeast winds around 5 knots.
