.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025

Today-Tonight...Another cold start to the morning across east
central Florida, with lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s areawide.
Some spots along the coast, particularly along the Treasure Coast,
may only see lows falling into the low 50s. The coldest
temperatures are focused north of the I-4 corridor, which is also
where there is the potential for frost development due to light
winds. A Frost Advisory remains in effect for Lake and Volusia
counties through 8 AM.

Surface high pressure settles across the Florida peninsula today,
keeping conditions dry locally. Mostly sunny skies are forecast
along with light north to northwest winds. Temperatures will warm
slightly but still remain below normal in the upper 60s to low 70s
areawide. Dry conditions with light winds persist into the
overnight hours, with lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s.

Thursday-Tuesday...The surface high will remain in place over the
Florida peninsula through the extended period, with near-zero
rain chances forecast through early next week. The Euro hints at a
potential weak front drifting southward early next week, but the
GFS keeps it north of the area. Winds remain below 15 mph through
the weekend and into next week, veering from the north-northeast
to out of the southeast to southwest over the weekend and then out
of the west to northwest early next week. Highs reach the low to
mid 70s on Thursday, with lows remaining a tad cooler in the mid
40s to mid 50s. Temperatures are then forecast to follow a gradual
warming trend over the next several days, returning to near-
normal temperatures by Friday, with highs in the mid 70s to low
80s with lows in the 50s to low 60s.

.MARINE...
Issued at 200 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025

Generally favorable boating conditions return to the local
Atlantic waters as an area of high pressure settles across the
area. Northwest to northeast winds are forecast to prevail through
the end of this week, veering to out of the southwest to
southeast this weekend. Winds are forecast to remain below 15
knots through the forecast period. Seas of 2 to 4 feet are
anticipated to persist. Rain is not forecast across the local
Atlantic waters thanks to the high pressure remaining situated
across the area.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFs)
Issued at 1205 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 200 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025

Sensitive fire weather conditions are forecast today, primarily
north of the I-4 corridor, due to minimum RH values falling below
35%. Winds are forecast to remain below critical thresholds,
generally out of the north to northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Conditions
slowly improve late this week as moisture increases, with minimum
RH values remaining above 35% and winds remaining below 15 mph.
