.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.
