.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 333 AM EST Sun Dec 14 2025

Today-Mon...Isolated to scattered showers across southern
sections where deeper moisture resides as well as some upper
support. The higher coverage will occur over the adjacent Atlc
(south of the Cape) and this is where the best chance for
lightning strikes will occur. Meanwhile, strong high pressure
(1043mb) over the central US this morning will build SE and sweep
a cold front across the area this afternoon and this evening. The
resulting tightening of the NW-N pressure gradient will produce
windy conditions tonight along the coast. A Wind Advisory has
been posted for the FL east coast for 20-30 mph with gusts up to
40 mph possible. The strongest winds will occur along the
immediate coast (barrier islands). Winds will remain unusually
breezy/gusty (15-25mph) for nighttime over the interior.

These strong N/NE winds will produce rough, pounding surf and
minor beach erosion tonight into Mon. Breaking waves of 7-9 FT are
forecast, briefly up to 10 FT along the Volusia coast. So a High
Surf Advisory has been issued. Fortunately the duration of these
winds/seas will be very short. The high tide of most concern will
be early Mon between 4am-5am.

The high pressure steadily weakens Mon as it reaches the deep
South and this will loosen the pressure gradient somewhat and
allow winds to begin to decrease Mon aftn. But it will remain
breezy/gusty esp along the coast with considerable cloudiness and
a passing coastal shower cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures will be above normal today in the mid to upper
70s then noticeably cooler behind the front on Monday with max
temps holding in the 60s.

Tue-Sat...The high pressure will push seaward Tue while continuing
to weaken with a trailing axis across north Florida through mid
week. This will result in veering wind flow becoming SE Wed-Thu
with speeds 15 mph or less. The next cold front is forecast to
approach Friday and push through Fri night or Sat. Currently have
a mostly dry forecast with this frontal passage but rain chances
may need to be introduced late week.

Temperatures will be on a gradual warming trend into late week.
Afternoon highs will generally be in the low 70s on Tuesday, mid
70s on Wednesday, and upper 70s to low 80s on Thursday and Friday.
Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 50s Tuesday night, mid
to upper 50s on Wednesday night, and upper 50s to low 60s on
Thursday night and Friday night.

.MARINE...
Issued at 333 AM EST Sun Dec 14 2025

Favorable boating conditions will start out this Sunday morning
with winds 10 knots or less and seas 2 FT. But conditions will
deteriorate this afternoon and especially this evening/overnight
as strong high pressure builds over the area behind a cold front.
North winds increase 20-25 knots by sunset across the northern
(Volusia) waters will overspread the remainder of our coastal
waters this evening with rapidly building seas especially in the
Gulf Stream. A Gale Warning has been posted for the Volusia Atlc
waters for frequent gusts to gale force (34 knots) while solid
Small Craft Advisory conditions will exist elsewhere with
occasional gusts to gale force possible. Seas will build rapidly
to 13 FT in the Gulf Stream tonight into Monday with 7-10 FT
nearshore.

The high pressure will weaken as it settles into the SE US Mon so
wind speeds will drop below 20 knots Mon aftn but seas will be
slower to subside given the NE wind component. The high will push
seaward through mid week and winds will veer east then southeast
in response and the pressure gradient supporting 10-14 knots. It
will take a little while for seas to subside below 7 FT in the
Gulf Stream so have extended the SCA there slightly. But once we
lose the north wind component, seas will subside below 6 FT Tue
night and below 5 FT Wed. Seas nearshore will be 3 FT Wed-Thu as
winds develop a SE component.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFs)
Issued at 640 AM EST Sun Dec 14 2025

Conditions are no longer favorable for fog development and have
pulled mention from the TAFs, but can`t rule out a sunrise
surpriseand will AMD if needed. SHRA and TSRA have largely
pushed offshore of KVRB-KSUA, but some MVFR CIGs from the moisture
supporting that convection has overspread those terminals and
made it up to KTIX. High clouds are obscuring this deck on
satellite imagery so not very confident how long impacts will
last, so for now have TEMPOs to 14Z. Light/VRB winds this morning
become NW 7-12 kts after 18Z, then turn northerly and further
increase to 13-18 kts with gusts 20-30 kts after 23Z, possibly up
to 35 kts at times along the coast as a sharp cold front pushes
through Central Florida. Could see a prolonged period of MVFR CIGs
through the the night and into Monday. Guidance is currently a
tossup right on the line between VFR and MVFR. For this package
going with an optimistic SCT020 and BKN035 based on GFS MOS/LAMP.
