.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 1231 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

A couple of weak mid level shortwaves will pass through the region
today into tonight before the mid level flow gradually becomes
more zonal on Sunday. At the surface, high pressure will remain
parked over the Florida Peninsula through the entire weekend. This
overall synoptic setup with allow for north to northwesterly
winds aloft today and tonight to become more westerly heading into
Sunday. At the surface, winds will veer and become more easterly
as today progresses. These winds will then diminish and become
light out of the west southwest on Sunday as a weakening frontal
boundary stalls out well to the north. With high pressure holding
strong combined with plenty of dry air throughout the mid to upper
levels, this will allow for the the dry conditions to remain in
place through the weekend as PWATs hover between 0.7 and 0.9
inches during this time frame. High temperatures will remain right
around climatological normals for today and Sunday as they will
rise into the lower 80s across most areas each afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 1231 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

For the early portion of next week, mid level zonal flow will
generally remain in place on Monday. Heading into Tuesday, a mid
level ridge centered off in the Southwestern Gulf will start to
expand northeastward towards the Florida Peninsula. The latest
global and ensemble guidance remains in good agreement with having
this ridge significantly building and intensify over the region
heading into the middle to latter portion of the week.

At the surface, high pressure will generally remain the dominate
synoptic weather feature that will influence the sensible weather
across the region throughout most of the week. A rather light and
variable wind flow on Monday will gradually become easterly on
Tuesday and will slowly start to increase heading towards the
middle to end of the week. This increasing easterly wind flow will
gradually allow for some lower level moisture advection to take
place during this time frame, however it will be taking place at
a rather slow rate. While most areas will remain dry through a
good majority of the week, this moisture advection may introduce
the possibility of a brief isolated shower or two on Tuesday or
Wednesday along the breeze. However, with a strong cap remaining
in place due to the abundance of dry air across the mid to upper
levels, any shower activity will be low topped and short lived.

With easterly wind flow strengthening, high temperatures will
generally remain in the lower 80s across the east coast metro
areas throughout most of the week. However, temperatures will be
on a warming trend elsewhere as mid to upper 80s will be possible
especially across the interior portions of Southwest Florida from
Wednesday through Friday.
