Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025 The strong cold front that brought near-record cold temperatures early in the week is quickly becoming a distant memory. Surface analysis places a strong area of high pressure centered over the spine of the Appalachian Mountains, with return northeasterly flow across the Florida Keys and the adjacent nearshore and offshore coastal waters. The inherited forecast for today included mostly sunny skies, nil rain chances, and slackening breezes. Outside of a slight delay in the slackening of the breezes, no changes proposed to what looks to be an extended stretch of quiet weather for the Florida Keys. && .MARINE... Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025 Small Craft Should Exercise Caution Until Winds Decrease headlines are posted for the marine zones south of the Island Chain. From synopsis, moderate breezes will gradually slacken to light to gentle over the weekend, while high pressure across the Southeast U.S. will gradually move 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 slacken further becoming light and variable Sunday and Sunday night. High pressure will then lift northward and gradually strengthen, allowing for a slow freshening of breezes. && .AVIATION... (15Z TAFS) Issued at 1118 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025 VFR conditions will prevail across the island terminals, with nil rain chances. Near-surface northeasterly breezes will occasionally gust to 15 to 18 knots early, before gradually slackening. && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None.
