mid 40`s to low 50`s for central and southwest Florida. The latest
visible satellite imagery and surface observations are showing
mostly sunny skies with some high clouds streaming across the area.
These sunny skies will continue through the day with a quick warm up

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 916 AM EST Thu Nov 30 2023

VFR conditions with high clouds expected through the period with
winds less than 10 knots.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 916 AM EST Thu Nov 30 2023

Broad high pressure centered just off the Carolina coastline ridges
west-southwest over Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. This will
keep an easterly flow around 10-15 knots and rain-free conditions
for the next couple of days. By Friday evening, the high moves
farther eastward near Bermuda with the winds becoming more southeast
through the weekend. A front also approaches the area and stalls
just to the north of the waters with some showers and storms
possible mainly across the northern half of the waters for Friday
evening and continuing through the weekend. The cold front will move
through the area on Monday and into south Florida. This will bring a
shift in the winds to the northwest for the first part of next week.
Winds and seas are expected to stay below headline criteria through
the period.
