006 FXUS62 KMLB 011940 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 340 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 ...New KEY MESSAGES, DISCUSSION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 249 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 - Rain chances of 20-30 percent Sunday night into Monday associated with a weak cold front. - Brief period of strong north to northeast winds early next week will produce rough surf and risk of additional beach erosion. - Slight cool down Monday/Tuesday then warming trend the rest of the week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 330 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 Sun-Mon...Deep upper trough with cut-off low over the MS Valley Sun approaches the area with the trough axis crossing the area Mon. This feature will induce weak sfc low development offshore the SE US coast which will swing a weak cold front across the area Mon. Mostly dry conditions through much of Sunday, but moisture will be increasing with isolated showers across southern sections in the afternoon. Isolated to scattered showers will accompany the front Sunday night and Mon across the area. Rain chances are holding at 20-30 percent. The good news is this front will push cleanly through with a dose of much drier air advecting in behind the front. A typical warming trend ahead of the front Sunday with max temperatures in the upper 70s/low 80s then falling back Mon into the low-mid 70s north and upper 70s south. Tue-Sat...Rather tight pressure gradient between departing low and building high pressure will produce a period of breezy/gusty N/NE winds esp Tue along the coast. We are entering another week of higher than normal astronomical tides so some additional beach erosion will be possible near the times of high tide. But this event looks short-lived as high pressure weakens by midweek allowing winds to decrease though remaining onshore. Have maintained a dry forecast but have drawn a silent 10 PoP for coastal areas Tue-Wed for Atlc showers to push onshore. Temperatures will quickly return to the upper 70s/low 80s Wed-Thu and into the mid 80s interior Fri-Sat. && .MARINE... Issued at 330 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 Sun...Light north to northeast wind flow up to 10 knots will continue with seas 2-3 feet. Mostly dry conditions though moisture will be increasing from the south and west. Isolated showers are possible in the afternoon over the southern waters, expanding to all the waters Sunday night ahead of a weak cold front. Mon-Thu...Low pressure is forecast to develop offshore the SE U.S. coast Sunday night/early Monday and swing a weak cold front through the area Monday. Pressure gradient between the departing low and building high pressure will produce fresh NW winds near 20 knots Mon veering N/NE Tue resulting in deteriorating boating conditions. Gradient looks to relax a bit Wed-Thu as high pressure weakens supporting 10-15 knots but seas will be slow to subside as winds remain out of the NE. Seas are forecast to build Mon, peak at 8 FT in the Gulf Stream Tue-Tue night and finally fall below 7 FT Wed night. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed for all the waters starting sometime Monday through Tue, lingering offshore into Wed. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFs) Issued at 120 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 VFR conditions persist through the period, with northeasterly winds today becoming light and variable overnight. Dry through the remainder of today and into the overnight hours. Winds pick up tomorrow out of the northeast to southeast after 16Z.
