.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 1234 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025
Surface high pressure centered over the eastern Gulf and an 850mb
ridge over the same area will result an east-northeast maritime
pattern. Ample dry air remains after the previous frontal passage
with PWATs of 0.5-0.7" according to the latest ACARS soundings.
This dry air will linger through at least tomorrow even as dew
points moderate and reach the upper 50s along the east coast.
Overall, a very tranquil pattern continues through today and
tomorrow with no impactful weather to speak of.
High temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 70s both
today and tomorrow across the region. Tonight`s lows will range
from the upper 40s west of Lake O, to the mid to upper 50s near
the Gulf coast and interior and low 60s for the east coast metro.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025
The upper-level pattern will become more progressive late this
week through the weekend. Global ensembles have some large
differences with the timing of a large northern stream shortwave
and just how amplified the trough/ridge pattern becomes. However,
it appears that there aren`t many sensible weather differences
(Temp/Precip) regardless of the evolution. At this time, expect
heights across Florida to increase and become mostly zonal by
early next week. At the surface, high pressure will continue to
dominate, with low-level flow veering from easterly to more
southerly as the ridge axis shifts.
All of this will mean continued moderating of high and low temps
to near and then above average, and no rain.
