        086 FXUS62 KMLB 040537 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1237 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 240 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025 - North winds will turn Northeast on Tuesday, maintaining poor to hazardous beach and boating conditions - Gradual warming trend this week with a warm weekend. Then a stronger cold front is forecast to cool things down considerably early next week. - Dry forecast through Wednesday. Shower chances increase south of Orlando Fri, especially Treasure coast. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 240 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025 Tonight...Chilly night tonight across the north interior with lows in the lower 50s. In fact, this should be the coolest night of the week. Veering winds out of the N/NE to NE, though, will keep coastal sections milder in the low to mid 60s. There will also be some marine stratocumulus pushing onshore south of the Cape. Tue-Wed...High pressure reaches the Carolina coast Tue then continues seaward Wed with its trailing ridge axis settling southward toward the area. In response, winds veer NE and remain breezy/gusty along the coast. Winds become East Wed and decrease as pressure gradient weakens. Fair weather cumulus will pancake beneath subsidence inversion near 850mb but no rain is forecast. Max temps close to seasonable for early Nov ranging from the upper 70s Volusia coast to the lower 80s elsewhere. At the beaches, a high risk of rip currents develops Tuesday, so entering the water will be strongly discouraged. Thu-Mon...12Z GFS/ECMWF show remnants of an upper low meandering over the southern Gulf will get kicked eastward across south FL/Straits as upper troughing redevelops over the central U.S. Moisture increases from south to north as this feature passes by so the next best chance for showers (20%) will be across southern sections Thu night/Fri. Wind flow develops a southerly component Fri then offshore (west) component this weekend which will send max temps above normal reaching the mid 80s most areas. Have kept a silent 10 PoP for Sunday but these may be increased to show isolated to scattered showers ahead of a stronger cold front. This front is forecast to sweep cleanly through the area Sun night/ early Mon and should bring noticeably cooler temperatures early next week along with gusty NW-N winds. && .MARINE... Issued at 805 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025 Winds and seas have decreased northward, thus have ended the Small Craft Advisory (SCA) for the Volusia waters and near shore Brevard waters. Going with Cautionary Statements for offshore Volusia and near shore Brevard as seas still building to 4-6 ft and winds 15-20 kts across these legs. The near shore Volusia marine leg shows observations of 10-15 kt northerly winds and seas building 3-5 ft. Keep the SCA for offshore marine legs from the Cape southward, and near shore Treasure Coast waters as northerly winds near 20 kts and gusty here with seas 5-7 ft. Previous...Issued at 240 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025 High pressure over the deep South will move east and reach the Carolina coast Tuesday then continue out to sea Wednesday. A weak cold front is forecast to stall over or just north of the waters Thursday, followed by another weak front losing momentum as it approaches Saturday. Small Craft Advisories are in effect for the local Atlc waters behind a cold front that passed by this morning. The gusty north winds this afternoon and evening will veer NE by Tue with speeds of 15-20 knots. Seas will peak at 7 FT in the Gulf stream tonight/Tue. Conditions improve Wed as winds become easterly and pressure gradient weakens allowing winds to decrease near 10 knots north and 10-15 knots south. NE-ENE flow Thu veers SE Fri with light offshore Sat, turning onshore in a 10 kt sea breeze bear the coast. Seas are forecast to subside 3-5 ft Wed, 2-4 ft Thu and 2-3 ft Fri-Sat. && .AVIATION...
