(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1222 PM 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, mainly at EYW, before gradually slackening after 00z. && .MARINE... Issued at 1125 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. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 424 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025 High pressure will continue to dominate the local weather conditions. While this cooler, breezier northeasterly flow has been the main story, as the high gradually starts to extend eastward and weakens, winds will ease and temperatures will return to more typical of this time of year. An upper level ridge over the southeastern US will maintain a stable environment and suppress a majority of shower development, though as the ridge starts to wobble and winds become more easterly, some moisture will creep in allowing us to reintroduce a slight chance of rain late this weekend to early next week. && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
