KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 627 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

- Hazardous marine conditions today into the beginning of the weekend. A high risk of rip currents will be in place for the Atlantic beaches through the weekend. - Below normal temperatures today and tonight, before a gradual warmup this weekend into early next week.

SHORT TERM

(Today through Saturday) Issued at 1207 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

Cold front pushed away from the peninsula last night and strong high pressure over the southern US is allowing much drier and cooler air to filter into the region today. Dewpoints this morning will fall into the 20s/30s around the lake and SW FL and into the 40s/50s over SE FL. Not only will temps be below normal today, but a brisk northerly wind will be in place with afternoon gusts of 25-30 mph expected. The lower dewpoints will be short lived as the surface high over the southern US starts to quickly move east, our winds will become NNE this afternoon which will allow for dewpoints to start recovering and they should be in the 40s/50s across the entire area by this evening. High temps this afternoon will range from the upper 60s around the lake to lower 70s across the rest of South FL.

Partly cloudy skies expected overnight near the Atlantic coast, while mainly clear skies are expected inland and over SW FL. Low temps tonight will be around 50 west of the lake, to low and mid 60s across the east coast metro.

High pressure will continue racing eastward on Saturday and is expected to be off the Mid Atlantic coast by the evening. This will result in our winds becoming easterly which will result in temps closer to normal and will also increase low level moisture, especially over SE FL where some spotty late day showers are possible. Winds will remain breezy with gusts 25-30 mph again during the afternoon hours. High temps will range from the upper 70s around the lake and across the east coast metro, to around 80 over SW FL.

LONG TERM

(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 1207 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

By Sunday the frontal boundary which was to our south will start to lift north across FL as a warm front. This will increase the chance for coastal showers on Sunday, but as the front lifts into northern FL early in the work week rain chances locally will diminish. The next cold front is projected to cross the area on Wednesday, but appears to have little to no moisture associated with it. The only noticeable impact of this frontal boundary will be slightly lower temps and humidity for the end of the work week. High temps will generally be in the lower to middle 80s through Tuesday, with lows in the 60s/70s. From Wednesday through the end of the work week highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s, and lows will be in the 50s/60s.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 627 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

Mainly VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Northerly winds this morning will become NNE after 18z and they will generally range between 10 to 15 kts through the afternoon. Gusts of 20 to 25 kts will remain possible across all terminals through the late afternoon hours.

MARINE

Issued at 1207 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

In the wake of a cold front that crossed the region last evening, strong high pressure building in will result in hazardous winds and seas for all local waters through Saturday, and continuing for the Atlantic waters through Sunday morning. Northerly winds 20-25 kts today will become easterly on Saturday. Seas of 4-8 ft in the Gulf today, and 6-10 ft in the Atlantic. Lake and Bay waters will be rough.

BEACHES

Issued at 1207 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

Increasing swell in the wake of a passing cold front will result in a high risk of rip currents today for the Atlantic beaches. The risk will remain high through the weekend as strong easterly flow develops.

With the strong easterly flow developing this weekend, waves of 6-8 ft in the surf zone are possible along portions of the Atlantic beaches.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1207 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025

Drier air will filter into the region today. Min RH values over inland SW FL will be 30-40 percent late this morning through mid afternoon. This combined with northerly winds of 10-15 mph will result in a limited fire weather threat.
