(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1224 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 VFR conditions will prevail at both EYW and MTH through the TAF period. Dry air will limit any shower development through 18z Sunday. Northeasterly light breezes will become variable at times during the afternoon hours. && .FORECAST... Issued at 442 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 A quiet week of weather is on tap for the Florida Keys. Surface high pressure currently over the Southeast U.S. will drift south along the Florida Peninsula through the remainder of the weekend. As it does this, the high will weaken and flatten. This will keep dry air entrenched throughout the area and much of the state leading to nil rain chances for the foreseeable future. The exception might be over the Straits where slightly deeper moisture could lend to a shower or two. Gentle to moderate breezes this morning, mainly over the marine area, will slacken as the aforementioned high weakens later today. Daytime highs are expected to be in the upper 70s with overnight lows in the upper 60s. With the light winds and generally clear sky, there is the likelihood for radiational cooling across the Island Chain tonight and Sunday night. Therefore, low temperatures were nudged down some this update. Another high pressure moving across the Southeast U.S. early next week will lead to a strengthening of the pressure gradient across the Keys. This will promote freshening northeast to east breezes for mid to late week. This may also lead to a period of breezy conditions once again for the Island Chain. Moisture remains meager keeping rain chances near nil through the extended. As winds also shift to the east, this will lead to slowly increasing humidity and temperatures with daytime highs creeping back into the lower 80s by late next week. && .MARINE... Issued at 1018 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 There are currently no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect across the Florida Keys coastal waters. From synopsis, high pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. will continue to move southward over the weekend. This will promote light to gentle breezes. Due to the weak flow, there may be a period of light and variable breezes Sunday through Monday, mainly in the afternoons. Another high pressure system will traverse across the eastern United States early next week while slowly strengthening. This will allow for freshening northeast to east breezes through mid week. && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None.
