890 FXUS62 KMLB 131702 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1202 PM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 105 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 - Dry conditions are forecast across east central Florida as an area of high pressure remains situated across the area. - Temperatures slowly warm over the next few days, with highs reaching near-normal values late this week into the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 105 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Today-Tonight...A surface high remains in place over the Florida peninsula, with yet another dry day forecast locally. Wind become predominantly northerly across the area, sticking around 10 mph through today. Temperatures begin a gradual warming trend, with highs forecast to reach the mid 70s across the area today. Overnight, temperatures are still forecast to remain 5 to 10 degrees below normal, falling into the upper 40s to mid 50s. Friday-Wednesday...A weak front moves across the Florida peninsula and local Atlantic waters on Friday with little fanfare, helping to further reinforce the area of high pressure situated across the area. Dry conditions are forecast through this weekend and into early next week, with no mentionable rain chances highlighted in the forecast. The Euro continues to hint at a frontal passage early next week, but the GFS has continued to favor a drier solution with the high remaining in place over the area. Will continue to monitor and see which way the global models trend, as this could lead to a slight increase in rain chances next week if models trend towards the Euro. Winds slowly veer through the period from out of the east- northeast on Friday to out of the southeast to southwest over the weekend, becoming a bit more variable into next week. Wind speeds are forecast to remain generally below 15 mph. Temperatures are forecast to continue on a gradual warming trend, with highs in the mid to upper 70s on Friday warming into the upper 70s to low 80s this weekend and into the middle of next week. Lows are forecast to generally remain in the 50s to low 60s. && .MARINE... Issued at 105 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 High pressure remains situated across the area through next week, being reinforced on Friday as a weak front moves across the area. This will keep rain out of the forecast over the next several days and help maintain generally favorable boating conditions across the local Atlantic waters. Northerly winds slowly veer to out of the east-northeast on Friday, southeast on Saturday, and west- southwest into Sunday and Monday. Wind speeds are forecast to remain below 15 knots through the period. As a result, seas are forecast to maintain wave heights of 2 to 4 feet, with the greatest wave heights focused across the offshore waters. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFs) Issued at 1202 PM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 VFR conditions through the TAF period. Light northerly winds will veer northeasterly later this afternoon as the east coast sea breeze forms and pushes partly inland. Winds will then become light and variable once again overnight. Guidance is showing patchy fog being possible mainly along and north of the I-4 corridor late tonight an into Friday morning. However, confidence is not high this will occur. So have introduced lower CIGs (SCT010) at LEE, MCO, SFB around 08Z to show this potential. Winds will then become northerly and increase to 5-10 KT by mid morning Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
