Issued at 953 PM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 Our warm weather lovers still insist weather conditions are a little bit on the chilly side this evening as temperatures obs are currently reporting near 70F. Dew points are near 60F, and we are still enjoying it. GOES-19 IR imagery shows a mix of lower and high level clouds across the CWA, so how much sky you can see if you step outside will depend on where you are. High pressure is still the dominating factor in this weather pattern, and our proximity to it will allow for mainly gentle to moderate northeasterly breezes to continue overnight. Some freshening will occur when the land breeze is able to kick off of the mainland, but this won`t be drastic like some of the winds we`ve seen earlier this week. The current forecast package needs no changes or updates at this time. && .MARINE... Issued at 953 PM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 There are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect for the Florida Keys local waters, but Small Craft Should Exercise Caution for increasing winds across Bayside and Gulf side waters, Hawk Channel, and the Deep Gulf. Across the Florida Straits, Small Craft continue to Exercise Caution. From synopsis, breezes will continue to peak overnight and lull during the morning and afternoon through Saturday. Thereafter, high pressure across the Southeast U.S. will gradually sink across or just north of the Florida Keys. This feature will also weaken such that the coastal waters surrounding the Keys, or at least portions, will become light and variable Sunday and Sunday night. High pressure will then lift northward and gradually strengthen, allowing for a slow freshening of breezes. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 953 PM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 VFR conditions will prevail with a mix of SCT to BKN decks near FL050 throughout the overnight and morning hours. Northeasterly surfaces winds near 10 knots will infrequently gusts between 15 and 20 knots, so opting to leave the mention of gusts out of TAFs until 10Z. Weather conditions will remain dry. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Key West 69 79 71 80 / 0 0 0 0 Marathon 68 78 70 78 / 10 0 0 0 && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None.
