.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 146 PM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

Current-Tonight...Weak surface high pressure continues to push
further away into the Atlc ahead of an approaching weak "cool" front
that will align itself just north of I-4 by sunrise Mon morning.
Aloft we find nearly zonal flow with weak shortwave ridging
pushing across Texas and eventually the north Gulf overnight. Dry
conditions persist with satellite imagery showing fair-weather Cu
moving west to east across the central peninsula. Current W/WNW
winds 10-15 mph with some higher gusts will decrease to around 5
mph tonight. After a pleasant day with highs in the 70s temps
will fall overnight into the M-U50s to around 60F.

Previous Modified Previous Extended Forecast Discussion.

Mon-Wed...The aforementioned weak front will push thru ECFL on Mon
and stall across the south-central Florida peninsula into Tue, where
it will wash out through mid-week. Amplifying ridging aloft
across the Gulf builds into the Gulf Coast States Wed. The front
itself is forecast to remain dry, as PWATs remain well below 1.5"
(forecast closer to 1.15"). Therefore, no mentionable PoPs have
been included for Mon. However, onshore flow will support a slight
moisture increase along the dissipating boundary by Tue, where it
is forecast to linger into Wed. PWATs will remain low, 1.4-1.5"
max across the Treasure Coast, but global models suggest at least
a few showers are possible here Tue/Wed. So, have kept inherited
low (~20%) PoPs in this area both days for sake of consistency.
Elsewhere, conditions look to remain dry. High temps are forecast
to increase by a degree or two each day, though are expected to
remain in the L80s through mid-week. Onshore flow will have a
greater impact on the overnight lows, which look to increase into
the 60s for most of the area by Tue morning.

Thu-Sun...Surface high pressure over the southeast U.S. is shunted
southward and pushed offshore into the Atlc by a vigorous mid-level
trough to the north into the weekend. Locally, dry conditions
continue to prevail, as PWATs remain around 1". PoPs below 15%
through Sun. Onshore flow will veer southerly through the period,
with daily sea breezes. Max temps remain above climo in the L80s,
with overnight low temps remaining mild in the 60s.

.MARINE...
Issued at 146 PM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

As weak surface high pressure pushes further into the western
Atlc, a weak front will move south into the central FL peninsula
on Mon - becoming nearly stationary just south of the Treasure
Coast waters into mid-week. Westerly winds into tonight ahead of
the approaching boundary, become NW/N behind it during the day on
Mon. Winds may increase offshore (Volusia coast) tonight to 15-20
kts, so small craft will have to Exercise Caution here. High
pressure will build slowly back into the area, post-frontal, with
the pressure gradient (winds) relaxing. Onshore flow quickly
develops Mon night thru mid-week (Wed-Thu). With a slight uptick
in moisture, we may see some light shower activity across the
local waters, mainly south of the Cape by Tue. Seas 2-4 ft thru
the period - highest in the Gulf Stream.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFs)
Issued at 1242 PM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

VFR conditions prevail through late tonight, then a weak front
pushing through Central Florida early Monday morning has
increasing chances of produce MVFR (50-70%) and IFR (30-50%) CIGs,
at KMCO and other inland ECFL terminals between 08Z-14Z. Slightly
lower chances for KTIX-KMLB between 10Z-14Z. Brief LIFR CIGs are
also possible. VIS is currently forecast to remain VFR-MVFR, but
if CIGs lower to LIFR then VIS is likely to go with it. CIGs are
expected to have lifted/mixed out by the time the front reaches
KVRB-KSUA, but could be some MIFG at those terminals in the early
morning ahead of the front. VFR conditions return to ECFL
terminals by 15Z at the latest, and prevail through the rest of
the day. Westerly winds this afternoon 8-14 kts gusting to around
20 kts become light in the evening, and remain light as they veer
through the night and morning to northeasterly 5-10 kts Monday
afternoon behind the front and with a weak east coast sea breeze.
