             -----------Synoptic Overview-----------

Broad northwesterly flow persists aloft over Florida this
morning, courtesy of a deep trough centered over the Canadian
Maritimes. Upstream, a ridge of upper high pressure is placed over
the Southern Plains. The overall upper-air pattern is expected
to be relatively stable through the weekend due to a powerful
blocking high over Greenland. The Southern Plains ridge is likely
to be forced eastward by the middle of next week, extending from
the Gulf northward to the Great Lakes, in response to multiple
disturbances crashing onto the California coast.

Surface high pressure remains in control, its center only
displaced from North Florida today to South Florida on Sunday. An
energetic shortwave diving into the Northeast U.S. will push
a moisture-starved front toward the state late on Sunday and
into Monday before undergoing frontolysis somewhere over the
peninsula. After that time, reinforcing high pressure builds over
the Carolinas and then drifts into the W Atlantic by the middle of
next week. Only around 20% of the 14/12Z ensemble suite has a
front approaching Florida around next Saturday. With the upper
ridge axis anchored close to Florida by late next week, it looks
rather difficult for any strong cold fronts to make their way
down here.

Total moisture values remain near to below normal for much of
the next week. H85 T`s hold just a bit below normal through the
weekend before jumping above normal by the middle of next week
(and likely well beyond that time as well).

             -------Sensible Weather & Impacts-------

Weekend...

Pleasant autumn weather continues with seasonable afternoon
temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s and lows in the 50s to low
60s. Plenty of sunshine is forecast after any patchy morning fog
burns off. By Sunday afternoon, west-southwesterly winds increase
just a bit (10-15 mph with a few gusts to 20 mph) ahead of our
next front.

Next Week...

On Monday, the front approaching Florida will quickly be losing
steam as it outruns its upper support. There is a brief ribbon
of slightly higher moisture, perhaps enough for some added cloud
cover or even some showers offshore early in the week. With the
polar jet remaining well north, no significant cool air intrusion
is anticipated. In fact, as ridging builds overhead from the
middle of the week and beyond, expect temperatures to turn above
normal (80s). While a couple showers or sprinkles may skirt the
coast around Tuesday or Wednesday, we still have no mention of
measurable rain over land for the next week.

Beyond The 7-Day...

As we look toward the week of Thanksgiving, ensemble guidance
places the active storm track closer to the Mississippi Valley as
ridging tries to hold sway near Florida. CPC favors above-normal
temperatures and near-normal rainfall over Florida between
November 22nd - 28th.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1234 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

An axis of high pressure remains over the waters today and tonight,
yielding light winds and favorable seas. By Sunday, an approaching
cold front will freshen offshore breezes, particularly over the
Volusia County Gulf Stream waters. This front is expected to
dissipate over the local Atlantic late Monday into Tuesday with
high pressure building in its wake by the middle of next week.

Near the coast, winds turn onshore this afternoon, E up to 10
KT. The sea breeze is unlikely to develop on Sunday, leaving WSW
winds 5-10 KT near the coast, up to 15-20 KT well offshore and
north of Cape Canaveral. Winds turn NNE on Monday, then quickly E
on Tuesday, up to 10 KT both days. Seas 1-2 FT nearshore through
the weekend and early next week, and up to 3-4 FT in the Gulf
Stream.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 1218 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

Models appear to be in good agreement that widespread fog is not
forecast through sunrise. NBM probabilities for VIS < 3SM are
even lower (< 10%)than this time yesterday. Thus, have no mention
for any VIS/CIG reductions through the TAF period. This will be
monitored through the early morning hours, should any fog develop.
If any were to form, LEE would be the most likely location
impacted. Light winds through the period, remaining under 10 kts.
Northerly winds early becoming E/SE this afternoon, as a weak sea
breeze develops at the coast. Then, light and variable winds
expected by the evening hours.
