.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 150 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025

Today-Tonight... Upper level high pressure centered over TX will
slowly shift eastward through the day as an upper level low pushes
off the coast of New Brunswick. Surface high pressure across the
Gulf states, expanding across Florida, will gradually slide eastward
towards the coastline of the eastern US through the period. Locally,
dry conditions will dominate as drier air settles over the Florida
peninsula. However, there is enough moisture in the mid to upper
levels to produce partly cloudy skies across east central Florida.
North winds veer northeast by mid-morning, remain breezy to gusty,
especially in the late morning and through the afternoon.
Temperatures will be more seasonable today as afternoon highs reach
the upper 70s to low 80s. Overnight lows will range from mid to
upper 50s to low 60s across the interior, and low 60s to low 70s
along the coast.

At the beaches, there is a High risk of rip currents at all beaches.
Entering the surf is strongly discouraged.

Wednesday... Flow aloft becomes more zonal over the Florida
peninsula as high pressure continues to dominate and expand
southeastward. At the surface, high pressure centered over the
southeast US will remain in place across Florida as it slowly slides
eastward. Locally, dry conditions are forecast as the drier airmass
overhead persists. Similar to today, and despite the drier air,
there is enough moisture in the mid to upper levels to produce
partly cloudy skies through the day. Seasonable conditions continue,
with afternoon highs in the low 80s. Overnight lows will once again
range from mid to upper 50s to upper 60s.

The High risk of rip currents will continue at all area beaches, so
entering the surf is strongly discouraged.

Thursday-Monday... Broad upper level high pressure will begin to
weaken Thursday as a mid and upper level trough develops over the
Midwest and Great Lakes region by the weekend. This trough will
deepen late weekend into early next week as it pushes eastward
towards the coast of the eastern US, dragging a cold front into the
Deep South. Surface high pressure across the eastern US on Thursday
will gradually push eastward and offshore into the Atlantic through
late week as the aforementioned cold front continues to push
southward through the Deep South, eventually shifting across the
Florida peninsula Sunday into Monday. Locally, light onshore flow
Thursday and Friday will veer south to southwest on Saturday and
Sunday, with the east coast sea breeze forecast to form each
afternoon. Winds will then veer west to northwest Sunday evening
with the frontal passage before becoming northerly behind the front
on Monday and increasing to 10-15 mph.

Moisture will deepen from south to north Thursday into late week.
However, forcing remains weak, with dry conditions prevailing on
Thursday. Rain chances return to the forecast on Friday, mainly
across the Treasure Coast, before drier air moves in across the area
on Saturday. Increasing moisture ahead of the approaching cold front
will bring rain chances back into the forecast once again Sunday
into Monday. However there remains some uncertainty with the rain
chances Sunday into Monday as model guidance differ slightly on
placement and intensity. The NBM remains the driest solution (with
no mentionable rain chances Sunday into Monday), so have blended in
some CONSALL to bring in a low (20 percent) chance of rain from Cape
Canaveral to Kissimmee southward. Rain chances may continue to nudge
northward in future forecasts once models become in better
agreement.

Temperatures will be seasonable to slightly above normal through the
end of the week. Afternoon highs will be in the low 80s Thursday and
Friday, and low to mid 80s Saturday and Sunday. Cooler air behind
the front on Monday will help keep temperatures slightly below
normal for this time of year, with afternoon highs ranging from low
to mid 70s across the north to upper 70 to low 80s across the south.
Overnight lows will generally be in the 60s, with mid to upper 50s
possible across the far north Thursday, Friday and Monday.

Issued at 150 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025

Today-Saturday... Poor to hazardous seas continue today. North to
northeast winds around 15 KT with seas 4-5 feet across all the
nearshore waters and the offshore Volusia waters (except up to 6
feet in the nearshore Treasure Coast waters), and up to 7 feet in
the offshore Brevard and Treasure Coast waters. A Small Craft
Advisory is in effect for the offshore Brevard and Treasure Coast
waters through 00Z Wednesday. Small craft should exercise caution in
the offshore waters of Volusia and the nearshore waters of the
Treasure Coast.

Conditions begin to improve tonight into Wednesday, with northeast
winds decreasing generally below 15 KT as high pressure builds over
the local waters. Seas will fall to 3-5ft on Wednesday, 2-4ft on
Thursday, and 2-3ft on Friday and Saturday. Mostly dry conditions
through Thursday, with isolated showers forecast on Friday from Cape
Canaveral southward, with dry conditions returning on Saturday.
