.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1203 PM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

  - Dry and pleasant conditions will remain in place across South
    Florida into early this upcoming week.

  - Patchy to areas of dense fog is possible early Monday
    morning, mainly across the Lake Okeechobee region as well as
    interior Southwest Florida.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1203 PM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

Looking at the latest probabilistic data, decided to put areas of
fog west of the lake and over inland SW FL early Monday morning,
with patchy fog over most of the rest of inland South FL. Too
early to determine if any headlines or special weather statements
may be needed early in the morning, but that will be monitored
closely overnight. Otherwise, the rest of the short and long term
forecast remains on track.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 111 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

Sensible weather conditions across South Florida will generally
remain unchanged through the short term period, despite the gradual
approach of a weak frontal boundary currently draped over the
southeast CONUS. The boundary is forecast to stall out somewhere
over northern/central Florida as we head into the new week.
Nevertheless, the main impact of this frontal approach will be a
brief wind shift from the north/northeast expected today. However,
with ridging prevailing aloft and meager moisture along the
atmospheric column ahead of the front, chances for any convection
associated with this boundary will remain very low. Additionally,
despite the brief northerly wind shift, the cooler airmass will not
reach our area, and temperatures will remain warm, with highs in the
low-mid 80s this afternoon. Winds veer back fro the east-northeast
on Monday, and the dry and warm pattern will continue.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 111 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

Ridging will become re-established over the first half of the week
as the surface high over the western Atlantic builds back over the
Florida peninsula. This will usher in the return of easterly flow
and a slight uptick in moisture (up to 1.0-1.3 inches over the first
half of the week). This could result in slightly warmer feels-like
temperatures each afternoon; with high temperatures in the mid to
upper 80s each day, the apparent temperatures could start
approaching the low 90s by Wednesday afternoon.

As we head into the long holiday weekend, a stout upper level trough
will develop over the Great Lakes region, spawning a strong surface
low and associated cold front which will sweep across the nation and
south across the Florida peninsula sometime between Friday and
Saturday. There is some divergence regarding timing in the ensemble
envelope, with the european ensembles favoring a faster progression,
and the GFS looking at a slower evolution. We will continue to
monitor those differences as we near the end of the week.

With enough moisture pooled over the region ahead of this front,
this could mean a general increase in the chances for rain starting
on Thursday and continuing through the end of the period, with PoPs
in the 20-40% range each day. Temperatures could also drop slightly
over the weekend once the cooler airmass moves over the area, with
highs in the high 70s and lows in the mid 60s and low 70s.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1203 PM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

VFR through the 18Z TAF period. Easterly winds 5-10 kts this
afternoon with a westerly Gulf breeze at APF. Light and variable
winds overnight. Patchy dense fog possible early Monday mainly
over inland and SW FL.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 111 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

Light northerly breeze will develop later today with a weak boundary
approaching. Easterly flow will becoming re-established on Monday.
Seas will remain in the 1-3 feet range. Winds and seas could build
as a stronger boundary approaches later in the week, but timing and
intensity remain somewhat uncertain at this time.
