.UPDATE...
Issued at 121 PM EST Sat Nov 29 2025

No big changes to the forecast. Slight chances for a few coastal
showers for the Atlantic coast the rest of today and again
tomorrow, but no impactful rainfall will occur. Gusty winds will
continue the rest of today and likely tomorrow as well due to
strong high pressure over the eastern CONUS. However, winds likely
will be a little less gusty tomorrow compared to today.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 1203 AM EST Sat Nov 29 2025

High pressure over the TN valley early this morning will shift east
towards the Mid Atlantic region today and eventually move off the
coast by this evening. This will result in our low level winds
becoming more ENE today and Sunday. With a tight pressure gradient
remaining in place, breezy conditions will continue today with
afternoon gusts of 25-30 mph expected. The gradient will relax for
Sunday with gusts of only 15-20 mph expected. 00Z MFL sounding
showed PWAT value of 0.90 inches and a lot of dry air above 800 mb.
PWAT values will start to increase today, with values of 1.2-1.4
inches over the far southern peninsula by late in the day, with 1.0-
1.2 inches closer to the lake region. With the increase in low level
moisture, some widely scattered showers are possible this afternoon
into early evening, mainly along and south of Alligator Alley.
Widely scattered showers possible again on Sunday, with chances
along the coast and over the far southern portion of the peninsula.

Temperatures will be on a moderating trend with highs today in the
upper 70s to lower 80s. Low temps tonight will be in the low to mid
60s around the lake and SW FL, to upper 60s and low 70s across the
east coast metro. Sundays high temps will be in the low to middle
80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 1203 AM EST Sat Nov 29 2025

A frontal boundary across northern FL early in the work week will
keep much of the rainfall chances to our north, so it`ll be mainly
dry across South FL outside of some occasional coastal showers. The
next cold front will cross the area mid week and settle across the
FL Straits late in the week. Little to no moisture will be
associated with this frontal passage, however it will provide a bit
of relief with temps and humidity dropping back to seasonal norms.

Highs early in the week will be in the low to middle 80s, and low
temps will be in the 60s/70s. After the frontal passage, highs the
rest of the week will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s, and low
temps will be in the 50s/60s.
