.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025
The strong cold front that brought near-record cold temperatures
early in the week is quickly becoming a distant memory. Surface
analysis places a strong area of high pressure centered over the
spine of the Appalachian Mountains, with return northeasterly flow
across the Florida Keys and the adjacent nearshore and offshore
coastal waters. The inherited forecast for today included mostly
sunny skies, nil rain chances, and slackening breezes. Outside of
a slight delay in the slackening of the breezes, no changes
proposed to what looks to be an extended stretch of quiet weather
for the Florida Keys.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025
Small Craft Should Exercise Caution Until Winds Decrease headlines
are posted for the marine zones south of the Island Chain. From
synopsis, moderate breezes will gradually slacken to light to
gentle over the weekend, while high pressure across the Southeast
U.S. will gradually move across or just north of the Florida
Keys. This feature will also weaken such that the coastal waters
surrounding the Keys, or at least portions, will slacken further
becoming light and variable Sunday and Sunday night. High pressure
will then lift northward and gradually strengthen, allowing for a
slow freshening of breezes.

.AVIATION...
(15Z TAFS)
Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025
VFR conditions will prevail across the island terminals, with nil
rain chances. Near-surface northeasterly breezes will occasionally
gust to 15 to 18 knots early, before gradually slackening.
