.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
After a frosty start this morning, temperatures will rebound back
into the 60s this afternoon for most areas with partly cloudy
skies. High pressure centered north of the area will maintain a
dry and cool northeast flow across the area.
For tonight, cloud cover will increase late in the night from west
to east as an upper level shortwave approaches. This cloud cover
and a slight increase in moisture should keep temperatures from
dropping as low as this morning, and overnight lows are expected
to range from the mid 30s across the northern counties to mid 40s
closer to the coast.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
The upper level shortwave will move through on Monday with abundant
cloud cover and cool northeast surface winds. The best moisture and
lift are expected to remain south of the area, so rain chances are
minimal despite the cloudy skies. Monday`s high temperatures will
be on the cool side with the cloud cover and northeast flow. NBM
temperatures for Monday may be too high, and the official forecast
trended towards CONSRaw guidance. This results in highs remaining
in the mid to upper 50s over a large portion of the area, except
mid 60s across the far southeast big bend.
Beyond Monday, a warming trend is expected with highs getting back
into the 70s by the middle to end of the week with dry weather still
continuing.

Updated at 713 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
- Dry air combined with ongoing drought conditions will elevate
fire spread concerns across northern portions of the area
through this afternoon. Residents in areas under burn bans
should not conduct outdoor burning of any kind. Residents in
areas without official burn bans should take extra precautions
if burning outdoors.
- Hazardous marine conditions are expected off and on through

.UPDATE...
Issued at 713 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
Updating zones for weather and cloud cover variables. Most areas
are still seeing virga but there is some layer moistening
occurring over the western quarter of the area allowing rain to
make it to the sfc a lot sooner than expected. We will bring this
eastward with time this morning about 8 to 10 hours sooner than
previous forecast. This is going to be stratiform rain, so nothing
heavy just an earlier onset.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Now through Monday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Quiet and cool night in store. By 04z temps were already down
into the 40s and lower 50s across most of the area with a few
isolated areas in the cooler drainage areas in the 30s. Temps will
likely continue to drop a little more overnight but will slow
down especially as clouds continue to build in from the west.
As for the forecast the main forecast concerns is the s/w that will
move into the region later today and through the region Monday along
with increasing hazardous marine conditions. Our main antagonist is
currently moving over the TX panhandle and it looks like it will be
able to undercut the ridge overnight tonight and early Monday as it
slides into the Lower MS Valley. The mid lvl jet max is still just
downstream of the trough axis and thus likely why it will have
enough punch to keep driving ESE. It will start to open up and merge
with the deeper L/W trough just before it pushes off the east coast.
The biggest problem is because of the ridging just ahead, our recent
cold front, and sfc high to the north moisture will not be able to
recover fast enough ahead of it but also with the orientation that
this s/w takes it will lead to a majority of the strongest support
remaining just off to the south. With that we will likely see a
continuation of the rain remaining just south of the area. Even with
a well defined disturbance because of that orientation (it is a
highly positively titled trough axis by early/midday Monday) hghts
actually appear to remain fairly unchanged. The best hght falls and
mid the mid lvl jet will ridge the northern Gulf. Still anticipate
some isolated to scattered light showers but overall the heaviest
rain looks to remain just off to our west and south.
This disturbance will likely lead to the development of a sfc low
over the northwestern Gulf this evening but how well defined and
strong it will be is uncertain. Some models are showing a small but
quickly developing well defined sfc low however, there appears to
be some feedback issue going on. This is also leading to rather
strong easterly winds developing over much of the coastal waters and
over a prolonged time frame. This seems a little aggressive
especially given how small this area of low pressure may be. The
bigger influence is likely the large broad sfc high building down
which will be centered over KY but it will stretch from the southern
Plains, south to the Gulf Coast, and east-southeast off the SC
coast. Now that is not to say that there is a sfc low that develops
just not as confident it will be as well defined or as deep as some
of the models show.
Temperatures will start to moderate tonight and Monday night however
highs both today and tomorrow will likely remain fairly similar with
h925 temps of 7-9C which should result in highs in the lower to mid
60s for much of the area both days. Lows will be a little warmer
tonight than they will be this morning thanks to the increase in
relative humidity and increasing winds. That said we will still see
lows in the lower 40s to lower 50s over much of the area. /CAB/
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Saturday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Medium range models from earlier today were in very good agreement
through the week however that is not what we would like to hear
because that will keep the dry weather pattern in place. It looks
like the next best chance for a system to bring rain may be late
next weekend or the beginning of Thanksgiving week. No major
disagreements with the NBM at this time so no adjustments have been
made.
As our disturbance continues to slide east and merge with the east
coast trough we will see mid lvl ridging build in. By Wednesday
morning the ridge will dominate the area from the TX coast northeast
across the Lower MS Valley and into the OH and TN Valley`s. This
will slowly moderate temps with highs climbing from the the lower
70s Tuesday to the mid upper 70s Wednesday and Thursday and maybe
even a few locations touching 80/81 by Friday. We will also see
moisture slowly creep up and thus morning lows will trend a degree
or 2 warmer each morning going from near 40 and lower 50s Tuesday
morning to 50s across the entire area Friday morning, maybe even a
few locations remaining in the lower 60s.
There will be a couple of disturbances coming out of the Pacific
across the 4 corners this week. These will all basically ride just
over the ridge into the central Plains and Mid MS Valley. The ridge
will become elongated from southwest to northeast eventually
stretching from the western Gulf to the Carolina`s but it will be
stubborn and keep all rain out of the area. As we head into weekend
the forecast is highly questionable as the models start to diverge
as they struggle with the numerous Pac systems coming towards the
region. This should eventually help lead to a more persistent west
coast trough and eastern coast ridge with southwest flow aloft and
hopefully some better rain potential. /CAB/

some of these cigs today and -RA will show up at the sfc by late
afternoon into the overnight hours. -RA will be timed and should
remain along and west of a line from MCB to NEW to the gulf. Some
cigs in this prementioned area could fall to MVFR levels while
-RA is ongoing. Elsewhere, cigs and vis should remain in VFR

.MARINE...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Winds continue to persist around 15-20 kt over most of the
coastal waters. This supports Small Craft Exercise Caution
headlines however a more impactful period of hazardous marine
conditions looks likely late Sunday and continuing through at
least the middle of next week. The approaching disturbance will
support the development of a surface low over the northwestern
Gulf. Combine that with high pressure building south and we will
see a tightening of the pressure gradient over the northern Gulf.
Sustained winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 6 to 10 feet will be
possible across the open Gulf waters Monday, with higher gusts
potentially approaching or exceeding gale force. How strong a
surface low develops is in question as there may be some
convective feedback leading a deeper surface lown than what may
actually occur and thus we will keep the Gale Watch out for now.
A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all other marine areas
due to the forecast persistent pressure gradient between the
surface low and high pressure to the north. May not see much
appreciable relief until the end of next week. /CAB/

An eastern states upper trof mostly moves off into the western
Atlantic through Monday, but in the process absorbs a system from
the south central states. The result of this will be an upper
trof progressing into the forecast area on Monday which then
gradually moves off into the western Atlantic as upper ridging
builds into the eastern states. A surface ridge remains over the
forecast region through Friday, and am anticipating dry conditions
to prevail through the period except for a few possible sprinkles
near the coast on Monday as the upper trof moves across the area.
A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 8 am Sunday morning well
inland with a Frost Advisory for most of the remainder of the area
north of the immediate coast. Overnight lows range from the lower
30s well inland to around 40 at the coast. Lows Sunday night and
Monday night generally range from the lower/mid 30s well inland
to the mid 40s at the coast, and it`s possible that a light freeze
could occur each night over the northern periphery of the area.
Highs on Sunday range from around 60 to the mid 60s, then Monday
will be a bit cooler and range from the upper 50s to lower 60s. A
warming trend follows for the rest of the week, with highs warming
to the mid 70s for Thursday and Friday, and lows trending by
Thursday night to range from the lower 40s well inland to the mid
50s at the coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through
Sunday then trends to a High Risk Monday into Monday night which
continues through Wednesday. /29

.UPDATE...
Issued at 601 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
Lead shortwave that brought areas of light rain overnight is
pushing ewd into Louisiana. There is a zone of low level
convergence near the coast where we`re seeing moderate rain along
the beaches in Matagorda and Brazoria Counties that have produced
1-3" so far. Attention turns to the next batch of rain across
north and north-central TX will be making its way across the
region during the day today. Overall model trends have been more
progressive...so although some localized heavy downpours can be
anticipated, continued sewd movement should somewhat limit the
excessive totals. The warm sector probably won`t make it too far
past the beaches which should also help in terms of rain total
inland. But still concerned about the coastal counties where
totals should be highest. Keep in mind that tide levels are up, so
drainage will be slow.
I bumped up the start time of the Gale Warnings for our eastern
waters (Galveston Bay and adjacent Gulf) to begin immediately.
HRRR has been consistently showing the gradient tightening
faster...and we`re seeing that in current observations with
30-37kt already showing. Look for these speeds to increase further
by mid morning. Still anticipating the highest speeds this evening
and tonight when some 45kt gusts can`t be ruled out over the
waters. 47
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1130 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
A variety of weather hazards will effect southeast Texas on
Sunday. A mid/upper low is currently pushing into the Texas
Panhandle and drifting eastward towards Oklahoma. A strengthening
and increasingly diffluent mid/upper jet is located ahead of and
to the south of the low. These ML/UL dynamics are also helping to
foment LL cyclogenesis, with a developing sfc low over NW Texas
(south of the Panhandle). Meanwhile, a rather cold sfc high is
drifting southeastward over the Mississippi River Valley. Colder
dense air from the east is advecting westward towards the low, and
enhancing a temperature gradient across the Lone Star State. The
sfc low will track southeastward Sunday, roughly parallel to the
temperature gradient. To the north of the low`s associated warm
front, one can expect widespread light to moderate showers, with
some embedded heavier showers and thunderstorms. But those south
of the warm front will find themselves in the system`s warm
sector, where high atmospheric buoyancy coupled with a strongly
sheered and veering vertical wind profile will set the stage for
stronger thunderstorms. As discussed in my discussion yesterday,
there was some uncertainty regarding the exact placement of these
boundaries and the overall extent of the warm sector over our CWA.
But today, it appears there is increasing confidence that the
warm front will be more suppressed southward, limiting the warm
sector zones to the coast (especially near Matagorda Bay) and the
offshore Gulf waters.
Through the early morning hours on Sunday, the highest chance of
showers will be across our western counties. There is a risk
strong to severe thunderstorms in the vicinity of Matagorda Bay
overnight into Sunday morning. Already, we have observed discrete
supercells offshore the Coastal Bend this evening, with some
"side lobe-y" looking cells offshore of Matagorda. Therefore, I am
not going to be surprised if we manage to see a few waterspouts
in our Gulf waters in the vicinity of Matagorda before most people
wake up on Sunday. We also cannot rule out a tornado in this area
either. Rain and thunderstorm coverage should generally increase
over our region later this morning and into the afternoon. With
trends pointing towards a farther south warm front, it`s quite
possible that most (maybe all) areas north of I-10 will hold in
the 50s all day. There`s even some hi-res guidance suggesting our
northern zones could drop into the 40s by late afternoon. There
will likely be a steep temperature gradient south of I-10. The
warmest parts of our CWA (coastal areas of Brazoria, Matagorda,
and Jackson Counties) could top out in the 70s.
The highest risk of heavy rainfall capable of flooding will be
near the coast. However, locally heavy rainfall capable of
localized flooding cannot be ruled out farther inland. Widespread
totals of 1-2 inches are expected inland, while coastal areas are
forecast to average in the 2-4 inch range. Locally much heavier
totals are likely at the coast, with some spots possibly receiving
over 6 inches of rainfall. The highest rainfall rates are still
expected to peak 2-3"/ per hour near the coast. Therefore, flash
flooding is a concern.
Rain and thunderstorms are not the only hazards associated with
this system. Strong, gusty coastal and marine winds will continue
through Monday. There is even a Gale Warning in effect for the
majority of our marine zones for later today into Monday. Please
see the marine discussion for more details.
Colder air should push southward towards the coast as the low
exits offshore, resulting in breezy and chilly conditions Sunday
night. Lows are expected to be in the 40s north of I-10, with low
to mid 50s farther south. Yesterday, Monday was appearing murky
and quite chilly. Today, there`s increasing uncertainty regarding
how murky it will be on Monday. Some of the guidance is suggesting
a shorter isentropic lift period and more dry air than initially
expected, opening the door to breaking clouds and more sunshine.
If the sun breaks out by early/mid afternoon, then we may make a
run for the 60 degree mark. But if clouds prove more resilient,
then I could see us struggling to warm past the mid 50s. Monday
night will be chilly, with widespread lows in the 40s. Areas near
the coast and within the heart of Houston`s urban heat island may
remain in the 50s.
We still anticipate a warming trend beyond Monday. By Wednesday
and Thursday, most of the region is expected to be in the 70s.
Couldn`t rule out a few locations reaching 80 by week`s end.

With the exception of coastal areas, we`ll see a brief break in
precipitation until a band of rain and embedded storms to our
northwest tracks across the region later this morning and off the
coast late in the day. Stronger, embedded cells will be capable of
producing some heavy downpours, reduced visibility, and gusty
winds. Ceilings are currently mixed, but look for things to trend
down into MVFR territory this morning and eventually IFR as the
day and evening progresses. Moderate rain should come to an end

some uncertainty regarding the timing of this turn. Frequent gusts
to gale force are expected in the Gulf later today through Monday
morning and possibly into the afternoon. For Galveston Bay, gusts
to gale force are expected this afternoon into tonight, especially
in the lower bay. Gulf offshore seas over 10 feet are likely, with
waters in the bays become quite rough. Conditions will gradually
improve beyond Monday. However, hazardous marine conditions could
linger into Wednesday, especially over the Gulf.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 948 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Tonight, any showers should remain mostly offshore, with a low
chance of isolated showers along the immediate coast. A cold
front will move through the region Sunday, with latest guidance
supporting a round of showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening
into early Monday morning. SSE surface winds will allow low- level
moisture to build during the day Sunday, with PWATs climbing to
1.4-1.7" (75-90th percentile for mid-Nov). Strong westerly flow
aloft will maintain relatively dry mid and upper levels, which
should allow for mostly clear skies and daytime sfc heating with
highs in the mid-80s. The combination of instability, moisture,
and lift will bring conditions favorable for showers and
thunderstorms, with greatest potential along and east of US-281.
This is a supportive environment for organized convection, with a
few strong to severe storms possible. Convection is expected to
initially develop in a clustered mode ahead of the front,
potentially congealing into a line along the front overnight. Any
storms could capable of producing damaging winds and hail, with a
brief tornado also possible. Most favorable conditions for severe
storms exist east of US-281, particularly along the coast, with
lapse rates around 6degC/km and effective SRH values of 100-150 m2s2
anticipated. However, storms my struggle with dry air entrainment,
given dry mid and upper levels. SPC maintains a Marginal Risk (level
1 of 5) for severe thunderstorms.
There remains uncertainty regarding the timing and inland extent of
convection with continued disagreement in short range guidance. Some
solutions keep activity largely confined to east of US-77, while
others support scattered thunderstorms extending into the upper RGV -
kept NBM PoPs, supporting activity reaching inland to US-281.
Current thinking is precip most likely arriving in the NE Ranchlands
around 5 PM, pushing southeasterly into the RGV through midnight,
with activity moving out of the Valley before sunrise Monday.
Behind the front, gusty northerly winds to 20-30 mph develop,
lasting into the evening. Cooler temperatures follow, with Monday
highs around 60 (upper 50s in N Ranchlands). Opted to bump NBM
temperatures down given cloud cover and CAA. Tuesday morning will be
chillier with lows in the 50s (60s near the coast), followed by
afternoon highs generally in the 70s (though this may need to be
adjusted down on future shifts as cloud cover and northerly flow
persists..). Isolated showers near the coast are possible Monday
and Tuesday in the wake of the front.
Conditions at local beaches deteriorate Sunday, with elevated seas
and increasing swell bringing a High risk of life-threatening rip
currents. Minor coastal flooding is possible early this week behind
the front.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1253 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
Yesterday (Saturday), turned out to be much wetter than majority of
the guidance indicated, with several pockets over 2.0" along the
northern Coastal Bend and southern Victoria Crossroads. This same
area will be most favorable for additional showers and storms
through today, resulting in a marginal to slight risk of excessive
rainfall. A 30-50% chance for showers and storms this morning
over the Coastal Plains will increase to a 50-90% this afternoon
as a cold front pushes through. FROPA is expected by this evening,
latest CAM guidance trending faster, causing only lingering low
rain chances to continue tonight. Majority of the mid-level lift
support will remain to our northeast, limiting the southern extent
of the severe threat. Instability will likely be limited with
CAPE under 1500 J/kg, but with effective shear over 40 knots
aligned parallel to the frontal boundary, a line of strong storms
can`t be ruled out ahead of and along the front as it pushes
through. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary hazards.
The shallow cold air mass will allow for low overcast clouds to
linger through Monday, likely cooler than what the NBM has currently
with temperatures varying little night to day with the breezy
offshore flow. Therefore, went with a blend of short-range consensus
and the REFS to get max temperatures on Monday only in the mid to
upper 50s areawide; still about 10 degrees warmer than the record
low maxes but it`ll feel nice! Rain-free conditions with partly to
mostly cloudy skies will persist through the middle of the week
before moisture advection returns, bringing low rain chances back in
the latter half of the week. A shortwave next weekend will result in
a slight increase in our rain chances.
Minor coastal flooding is becoming increasingly likely tonight into
early Monday morning as strong northeasterly winds enhance the Ekman
transport mechanism along with sufficient wave run-up from 8-9
second swell periods. There is a high risk of rip currents tonight
through Monday, leading to especially dangerous swimming conditions.
Minor coastal flooding may continue to be a concern into the middle
of next week during high tide at night.

The Aviation Section has been updated to reflect the 12Z TAF
issuance.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- 1) Frost/freeze conditions through daybreak today and again
tonight.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Frost/freeze conditions through daybreak today
and again tonight.
Winds have gone light to calm across the region, a result of the
prevailing high pressure at the surface. Combined with clear skies,
a very chilly night is underway across the region. Several sites are
already reporting 32 degrees as of midnight. A Freeze Warning
remains in effect for a bulk of the SC Lowcountry and southeastern
GA. A Frost Advisory is in effect along the SC coastal counties,
where frost is forecast away from the immediate coastline. These
products are in effect through 9 AM.
If widespread freezing temperatures occur early this morning, then
this will end the local growing season and Frost/Freeze products
will not be issued for tonight/early Monday morning. However, if
only some areas observe freezing temperatures, then the growing
season continues and we will likely need Frost/Freeze products
tonight/early Monday morning. Regardless of the outcome, overnight
temperatures will range from low to mid 30s across the inland
counties and upper 30s to low 40s across the coastal counties.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR through the 12Z TAF period at KCHS/KJZI/KSAV.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Expect VFR conditions to prevail.
&&
.MARINE...
Today and Tonight: High pressure will dominate over the marine
waters through tonight, yielding N winds 10 to 15 knots and seas
2 to 3 ft.
Monday through Thursday: As slowly high pressure expands across the
region and then eventually into the Atlantic, expect northeasterly
flow to take hold of the forecast and gradually ramp up throughout
the period. Wind speeds will generally range from 15 to 20 kt with
gusts up to 25 kts (even 30 kts possible across the offshore
waters). East-northeasterly swell will be on tap through the period
as well with seas ranging from 4 to 6 ft across the nearshore
waters, then 5 to 8 ft across the offshore waters. Small Craft
Advisories will likely be needed on Monday evening for the offshore
Georgia waters, and then eventually for the nearshore South Carolina
waters as well on Tuesday through the rest of the period. Mariners
should stay up to date with latest marine forecast before heading
offshore.

.SHORT TERM...
(Now through Monday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Quiet and cool night in store. By 04z temps were already down
into the 40s and lower 50s across most of the area with a few
isolated areas in the cooler drainage areas in the 30s. Temps will
likely continue to drop a little more overnight but will slow
down especially as clouds continue to build in from the west.
As for the forecast the main forecast concerns is the s/w that will
move into the region later today and through the region Monday along
with increasing hazardous marine conditions. Our main antagonist is
currently moving over the TX panhandle and it looks like it will be
able to undercut the ridge overnight tonight and early Monday as it
slides into the Lower MS Valley. The mid lvl jet max is still just
downstream of the trough axis and thus likely why it will have
enough punch to keep driving ESE. It will start to open up and merge
with the deeper L/W trough just before it pushes off the east coast.
The biggest problem is because of the ridging just ahead, our recent
cold front, and sfc high to the north moisture will not be able to
recover fast enough ahead of it but also with the orientation that
this s/w takes it will lead to a majority of the strongest support
remaining just off to the south. With that we will likely see a
continuation of the rain remaining just south of the area. Even with
a well defined disturbance because of that orientation (it is a
highly positively titled trough axis by early/midday Monday) hghts
actually appear to remain fairly unchanged. The best hght falls and
mid the mid lvl jet will ridge the northern Gulf. Still anticipate
some isolated to scattered light showers but overall the heaviest
rain looks to remain just off to our west and south.
This disturbance will likely lead to the development of a sfc low
over the northwestern Gulf this evening but how well defined and
strong it will be is uncertain. Some models are showing a small but
quickly developing well defined sfc low however, there appears to
be some feedback issue going on. This is also leading to rather
strong easterly winds developing over much of the coastal waters and
over a prolonged time frame. This seems a little aggressive
especially given how small this area of low pressure may be. The
bigger influence is likely the large broad sfc high building down
which will be centered over KY but it will stretch from the southern
Plains, south to the Gulf Coast, and east-southeast off the SC
coast. Now that is not to say that there is a sfc low that develops
just not as confident it will be as well defined or as deep as some
of the models show.
Temperatures will start to moderate tonight and Monday night however
highs both today and tomorrow will likely remain fairly similar with
h925 temps of 7-9C which should result in highs in the lower to mid
60s for much of the area both days. Lows will be a little warmer
tonight than they will be this morning thanks to the increase in
relative humidity and increasing winds. That said we will still see
lows in the lower 40s to lower 50s over much of the area. /CAB/
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Saturday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Medium range models from earlier today were in very good agreement
through the week however that is not what we would like to hear
because that will keep the dry weather pattern in place. It looks
like the next best chance for a system to bring rain may be late
next weekend or the beginning of Thanksgiving week. No major
disagreements with the NBM at this time so no adjustments have been
made.
As our disturbance continues to slide east and merge with the east
coast trough we will see mid lvl ridging build in. By Wednesday
morning the ridge will dominate the area from the TX coast northeast
across the Lower MS Valley and into the OH and TN Valley`s. This
will slowly moderate temps with highs climbing from the the lower
70s Tuesday to the mid upper 70s Wednesday and Thursday and maybe
even a few locations touching 80/81 by Friday. We will also see
moisture slowly creep up and thus morning lows will trend a degree
or 2 warmer each morning going from near 40 and lower 50s Tuesday
morning to 50s across the entire area Friday morning, maybe even a
few locations remaining in the lower 60s.
There will be a couple of disturbances coming out of the Pacific
across the 4 corners this week. These will all basically ride just
over the ridge into the central Plains and Mid MS Valley. The ridge
will become elongated from southwest to northeast eventually
stretching from the western Gulf to the Carolina`s but it will be
stubborn and keep all rain out of the area. As we head into weekend
the forecast is highly questionable as the models start to diverge
as they struggle with the numerous Pac systems coming towards the
region. This should eventually help lead to a more persistent west
coast trough and eastern coast ridge with southwest flow aloft and
hopefully some better rain potential. /CAB/

OVC cigs will cover the entire area today and begin lowering by
late morning into the afternoon hours. Some virga is expected with
some of these cigs today and -RA will show up at the sfc by late
afternoon into the overnight hours. -RA will be timed and should
remain along and west of a line from MCB to NEW to the gulf. Some
cigs in this prementioned area could fall to MVFR levels while
-RA is ongoing. Elsewhere, cigs and vis should remain in VFR
through this taf cycle.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Winds continue to persist around 15-20 kt over most of the
coastal waters. This supports Small Craft Exercise Caution
headlines however a more impactful period of hazardous marine
conditions looks likely late Sunday and continuing through at
least the middle of next week. The approaching disturbance will
support the development of a surface low over the northwestern
Gulf. Combine that with high pressure building south and we will
see a tightening of the pressure gradient over the northern Gulf.
Sustained winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 6 to 10 feet will be
possible across the open Gulf waters Monday, with higher gusts
potentially approaching or exceeding gale force. How strong a
surface low develops is in question as there may be some
convective feedback leading a deeper surface lown than what may
actually occur and thus we will keep the Gale Watch out for now.
A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all other marine areas
due to the forecast persistent pressure gradient between the
surface low and high pressure to the north. May not see much
appreciable relief until the end of next week. /CAB/

After a frosty start this morning, temperatures will rebound back
into the 60s this afternoon for most areas with partly cloudy
skies. High pressure centered north of the area will maintain a
dry and cool northeast flow across the area.
For tonight, cloud cover will increase late in the night from west
to east as an upper level shortwave approaches. This cloud cover
and a slight increase in moisture should keep temperatures from
dropping as low as this morning, and overnight lows are expected
to range from the mid 30s across the northern counties to mid 40s
closer to the coast.

Issued at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
The upper level shortwave will move through on Monday with abundant
cloud cover and cool northeast surface winds. The best moisture and
lift are expected to remain south of the area, so rain chances are
minimal despite the cloudy skies. Monday`s high temperatures will
be on the cool side with the cloud cover and northeast flow. NBM
temperatures for Monday may be too high, and the official forecast
trended towards CONSRaw guidance. This results in highs remaining
in the mid to upper 50s over a large portion of the area, except
mid 60s across the far southeast big bend.

Current-Mon...Another cool start to the morning with temperatures
beginning in the 40s/50s. At least one more dry day today, with
moisture gradually returning into Mon and an increase in PoP chances
esp along the Space/Treasure coasts. Onshore flow strengthens on Mon
with breezy/gusty conditions nearly areawide. An upper level
disturbance moves into the Deep South on Mon and across the Florida
peninsula Mon night with ISOLD-SCT showers forecast. Slightly below
normal temperatures today/Mon with maxes in the L-M70s, except few
U70s across the Treasure Coast. With the addition of moisture and
strengthening of onshore flow our min temps overnight into Mon
morning will recover into the M-U50s over the interior and L60s near
the coast, except M60s along the St. Lucie/Martin coasts. For Mon
night/Tue morning our lows will only fall into the U50s N/W of I-4
with 60s most everywhere else.
Tue-Sat...Surface high pressure encompasses much of the eastern
CONUS and combined with lower pressure across the western Atlc will
produce a tight pressure gradient through much of this period. This
will allow for a continuation of breezy to potentially windy onshore
(gusty) winds each day remaining a bit elevated over the interior
and breezy/gusty along the coast each night. An unsettled (troughy)
pattern will continue aloft across the Florida peninsula with ample
moisture in place. This set-up could allow for heavy rainfall (esp
along the coast) at least Tue-Thu. Presently, the Weather Prediction
Center has outlooked eastern FL under a Marginal threat for
Excessive Rainfall these three days. Low confidence in exactly where
heavy bands may set up, but we do not anticipate as much rainfall as
we saw a couple of weeks ago. Much will depend on the
strength/position of a low/trough forecast to develop near/east of
the Bahamas early/mid week. This feature will gradually track
northeast away from eastern FL, but additional impacts will include
poor/hazardous boating conditions and building seas creating rough,
pounding surf along the coast with minor beach erosion likely, as
well as strong rip currents. Rain chances increase areawide (Tue-
Fri) - highest along the coast. A low chance for lightning storms
will also be forecast. By Wed, temperatures for highs will be near
to slightly above climo. Low temperatures will be above normal for
much of this period.

Thru Thursday...With high pressure to the north and developing low
pressure over the western Atlc, boating conditions will deteriorate

winds increase. Wind speeds will approach 15-25 kts with frequent
higher gusts by late Mon-Thu. Seas 2-4 ft today will build 4-6 ft
Mon, 5-7 ft Mon night, 6-8 ft thru Tue night, then 8-11 ft Wed-Thu.
Small Craft Advisories will be necessary by Mon continuing thru much
of the week as conditions remain unsettled. Moisture returns and

(GENF1), and Astor (ASTF1) on the St. Johns. The river west of
Cocoa is in Major Flood Stage but appears to be cresting and is
now forecast to begin a slow decline next week. The other points
(Deland and Sanford) are forecast to remain in Action stage which
is below Minor flood stage. River forecasts out five days are
issued twice daily by the NWS Southeast River Forecast Center in
collaboration with NWS Melbourne and are available at
water.noaa.gov/wfo/MLB.
There is potential for additional heavy rainfall early to mid next
week, but there is currently a high degree of uncertainty in the
forecast. We will continue to monitor this setup and any
implications for ongoing flooding.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
610 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Edged low temperatures down a few degrees through mid week.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) First freeze of the season for much of ENC away from bodies of
water this morning, with frost potential elsewhere on the
mainland. Cold mornings continue through mid week then a
moderating trend mid to late week.
2) Dry high pres continues through much of the coming week with
warm days but chilly nights and continued ongoing drought
conditions. Afternoon relative humidities will be quite low but
winds light.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cold low-level thicknesses and strong high pressure
over the region will support frost/freeze impacts across all of
the mainland ENC this morning. Continued good radiational
cooling through the beginning of the week will bring a freeze
threat each night/morning, although a season ending freeze this
morning would end the frost/freeze program for the counties the
freeze occurs, and additional frost/freeze headlines may not be
needed anymore. The only areas to escape frost or freezing temps
tonight will be areas immediately adjacent to water bodies,
including the beach communities. The risk of frost impacts may
be lessened Sunday night as a weak cold front moves through
which will keep the boundary layer a bit more mixed with a light
breeze preventing ideal rad cooling. High pressure then
reasserts itself Monday and Tuesday night, with freezing temps
or frost returning once again.
KEY MESSAGE 2...The aforementioned very dry airmass and low TD`s
each day over the coming week will exacerbate the worsening drought
conditions in place across ENC, and fortunately winds are not
expected to be strong with the high nearby. However, fire weather
concerns may grow with the curing vegetation combined with low RH
values each afternoon. Highs will warm back to above climo in
the upper 60s to low 70s mid to late week, but overnight lows
will continue quite chilly and below climo with the dry high
pres cont to dominate all week.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Unremarkable weather for aviation interests today as high
pressure continues to dominate the area keeping skies clear and
winds W to NW at under 10 kt through the period. A weak front
will cross the region tonight bringing an uptick in clouds at
around 5-6 kft but no precipitation, along with a shift in winds
from the NW to the N/NNE. The wind shift may have the occasional
gust up to 15 kt for coastal terminals but will be of little to
no consequence for inland locales.
Outlook (Monday through Thursday): Light north to northeast
winds are expected to continue into much of next week as high
pressure remains centered to the north of the area.
&&
.MARINE...
The nwrly gradient cont to weaken and winds are in the 5-15 kt
range, with some gusts aoa 20 kt over the Gulf Stream where
better mixing occuring. Seas cont to subside, with the last of 6
ft seas across the ctrl waters as of late this evening. All
nearshore marine zones will be in the 2-5 ft range by daybreak
today.
A reinforcing cold front will drop through late Sunday night
into Monday morning. This front is expected to lead to a brief
bump up in winds as it moves through. Some 25+ kt wind gusts may
mix over the Gulf Stream waters, generally south of C Hatteras,
but will not issue any SCA headlines attm, and wait to see model
trends for this possibility. Seas may briefly get a bump up
with this northerly surge as well and inc to 6+ ft over the
Gulf.
Outlook (Monday through Thursday): After Monday`s wind surge,
general N to NE winds of 10-20kt are expected for much of the
upcoming week as high pressure remains anchored to the north
while a broad area of low pressure resides to the south well
offshore of the Southeast U.S. Seas appear to remain below 6 ft
for the nearshore coastal waters.

https:/www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
- Inland Freeze & Frost This Morning. Freeze Warning for Jeff Davis,
Appling, Bacon & Coffee Counties. Frost Advisory: Inland Southeast
Georgia & Portions of Inland Northeast Florida
- Marine & Surf Zone Hazards Return Monday. Small Craft Advisory Late
Monday through Friday. High Risk for Rip Currents & Rough Surf
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Main Highlights through Tonight:
- Freezing temperatures inland SE GA, with frost potential over much
of SE GA this morning
After a frosty and chilly morning, temperatures will rise into the
60s area-wide today with mostly sunny skies as winds shift
northeasterly. Low temperatures Sunday night won`t be as cold, but
will drip into the upper 30s across portions of inland southeast
Georgia, and in the 40s for the rest of inland areas. Near the coast
and St. Johns river basin, lows will stay in the lower to mid 50s.
Some patchy frost will be possible early Monday morning over far
inland southeast Georgia.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Main Highlights This Period:
- Coastal Hazards Increase Monday Night & Tuesday
Persistent and strengthening high pressure will be the main synoptic
feature for the short term period, as the high center slowly shifts
more towards our north as compared to the northwest. The second
feature will be a shortwave trough moving eastward across the
northern Gulf of Monday, moving across our region Monday Night and
Tuesday.
After a mostly dry but cloudy Monday, chances for showers
increase near the coast and south/eastern areas Monday Night and
through Tuesday as the upper level energy induces a weak inverted
trough to form east of the Florida peninsula and therefore
tightening the pressure gradient, setting up another northeasterly
wind event. The good news is our astronomical tide cycle is
generally approaching a new moon, and therefore little to no tidal
flooding impacts are expected. However, continuous modest onshore
flow will return elevated rip current potential as well as rough
surf at area beaches (especially northeast FL beaches). High temps
will top out in the 60s to low 70s each day, with Monday being
towards the lower end thanks to the increase in cloud cover. There
will be quite the gradient with mornings lows both Monday and
Tuesday Morning thanks to the onshore flow, as interior GA and parts
of the Upper Suwannee River Valley will see lows mainly in the 40s,
quickly trending towards the 50s to near 60 further south and east.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Main Highlights This Period:
- Increasing Coastal and Marine Hazards
Persistent northeast to east surface winds dominate Tuesday through
Thursday as strong high pressure remains to the north and inverted
troughing persists east of the area. There is also potential for a
surface low forming toward the southeast Bahamas late week that
tracks northeastward, though this would likely be non tropical in
nature as a result of the aforementioned upper trough/low.
Regardless, effects from this trough/low would essentially only
maintain the enhanced pressure gradient across the area through mid
week.
Not much of a threat of coastal flooding with this next event since
we between full and new moon phases. Similar to what was mentioned
in the short term, the setup will mainly drive hazardous marine
conditions for the Atlantic coast, including rough surf, high rip
current risk and dangerous marine conditions for boaters. Elevated
rain chances will persist for the coastal northeast FL area mid to
late week, with the potential for occasional heavier downpours for
Flagler and St Johns counties. High pressure starts to break down
towards next weekend.
Temperatures overall trend near average mid week before leaning
above normal late week and the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
VFR conditions to prevail this TAF period. Winds will become more
northeasterly by Sunday afternoon with gusts near 20 knots at
SGJ.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure will build toward the northwest this weekend. The high
will become centered more to the north early next week, with weak
troughing developing over the coastal waters. This pattern will then
persist through much of the upcoming week. Small Craft Advisory
conditions are expected to begin late Monday, then continue through
the week.
Rip Currents: SE GA: Low through Sunday. NE FL: Moderate Sunday. Rip
currents will trend toward a high risk early next week, and
continuing through the week.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Cool and dry conditions are expected to generally moderate over the
next few days as onshore flow remains persistent. This will
especially be the case Monday and into Tuesday as the flow
strengthens a bit, with chances for showers as well over south and
east areas. Dispersions will remain in the fair to good range
overall daily through Tuesday, despite more cloud cover for most.
Northeasterly flow then looks to continue into mid week, with little
change in the pattern expected through at least late week.
FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER WEATHER REMARKS: Significant fog is not
expected through the weekend. Patchy frost will be possible over far
inland southeast GA early Sunday.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
546 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Updated 12z TAF/Aviation Discussion.
Nudged temperatures down slightly, with increased cloud cover
this afternoon.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Frost and Freeze headlines are in effect for portions of
Eastern Virginia and Northeast North Carolina late tonight
through later this morning. Dry, chilly weather continues
through Tuesday, before temperatures moderate for mid to late
week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
As of 225 AM EST Sunday...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Frost and Freeze headlines remain in effect
through early this morning for portions of eastern Virginia and
northeast North Carolina. Chilly weather continues through
Tuesday, with additional frost or freeze headlines possible
tonight where the growing season remains active.
Early morning weather analysis shows an upper-level low still
in place from Atlantic Canada into coastal New England, with a
strong attending trough extending south into the eastern Gulf
Coast. At the surface, 1028+ mb high pressure centered over the
mid-Mississippi River Valley continues to slowly build east
behind a surface trough axis oriented well offshore.
Temperatures as of this writing are mainly in the low to mid
30s just inland from the Chesapeake Bay west to the VA piedmont,
with mid 30s to low 40s along the immediate coast, including
the Lower Eastern Shore. While skies have cleared out this
morning, the boundary layer has remained mixed just enough to
hold up temperatures along the coast. However, still expect
winds to relax a bit just inland, where a Freeze Warning remains
in place from Bertie County, NC up to the City of Suffolk. A
Frost Advisory also remains in effect just to the east, across
interior portions of eastern Virginia and coastal northeast
North Carolina, where the growing season has not yet
technically ended. The growing season will end across most of
our counties today, leaving only northeast North Carolina
counties east of the Chowan River along with Chesapeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach active until later this
month. An updated Public Information Statement will be issued
later this morning.
Very little change in sensible weather through tomorrow, as the
surface high slowly slides east and the upper-level low
gradually weakens. After a sunny start, clouds will once again
increase late this morning and this afternoon. Nudged forecast
highs down slightly, as guidance has been slightly too warm
given the persistent stratocumulus deck over the past few days.
Highs today and tomorrow will be in the low to mid 50s. Clearing
skies and a relaxing pressure gradient tonight will allow lows
to fall into the lower 30s inland and mid to upper 30s along the
coast. While not quite as breezy as yesterday, NNW winds will
nevertheless occasionally gust to 15-20 mph this afternoon,
before quickly diminishing after sunset.
Dry weather looks to prevail throughout the week ahead, as high
pressure builds into the area and becomes anchored overhead for
the mid to late week period. Aloft, the trough looks to finally
move offshore by late Monday into Tuesday, with upstream
ridging building in behind it. This pattern will support a
moderating temperature trend from midweek into next weekend.
Forecast highs reach the mid 60s by Wednesday, warming into the
upper 60s to near 70 inland Thursday through Sunday. Even as the
air mass turns milder, dry conditions and efficient radiational
cooling under clear skies and light winds should still allow
morning lows to fall into the lower 30s across inland areas,
with upper 30s to low 40s closer to the coast. Unfortunately, there
remains little to no prospect for welcome rainfall over the
next week to 10 days.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 545 AM EST Sunday...
VFR conditions across area terminals this morning will prevail
through the 12z/15 TAF period. Clouds have cleared this morning
as expected, as high pressure builds to the west. A mainly clear
sky persists over the area through mid-morning, when clouds
begin to increase again due to the NW flow and the persistent
upper low over the eastern seaboard. CIGs remain in VFR range,
but become BKN once again for a majority of the area by early to
mid afternoon (bases ~5 to 7 kft AGL). Winds remain light early
this morning, but become gusty (~20 knots) again by late
morning into this afternoon.
Outlook: VFR conditions are favored through midweek, as high
pressure builds over the region. Gusty NW winds, gradually
diminishing tonight.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 225 AM EST Sunday...
Key Messages:
- Small Craft Advisories continue through this morning for the
coastal waters and through this afternoon for the Chesapeake Bay.
- High pressure builds into the region this afternoon through at
least Thursday with sub-advisory conditions expected.
Latest analysis shows high pressure centered over the MS Valley
early this morning. Winds are NW around 20 kt with gusts to 25-30 kt
over the Ches. Bay and coastal waters. Waves are 1-3 ft with seas of
2-4 ft in the coastal waters and 4-7 ft beyond 60 nm. NW winds will
diminish today to ~15 kt with gusts to 20 kt, remaining out of the
NW. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through 7 AM for the
coastal waters and through 1 PM for the Chesapeake Bay. Will note
that gusts to ~20 kt may be possible this afternoon and evening in
the Ches. Bay, as another surge of CAA filters in. This looks to be
marginal and confidence is too low to extend SCAs in the Ches. Bay
at this time. Will continue to monitor trends and obs.
High pressure builds into the region this evening through at least
Thursday, allowing for benign marine conditions to return. NW winds
of ~15 kt are expected on Monday with light NNW winds around 5-10 kt
(gusts to 15 kt in the southern coastal waters) on Tuesday. Winds
will be light and variable Wednesday and Thursday. Seas will average
2-3 ft with 1-2 ft waves.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 241 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
South Florida remains entrenched in a cool and dry post-frontal air
mass as we saw low temperatures yesterday morning drop into the low
50s around Lake Okeechobee and over the interior and into the upper
50s/low 60s across our Naples and east coast metros. According to
WPC`s latest surface analysis, a 1027-1028 mb surface ridge of
continental high pressure continues to be centered a little over
1,000 miles to our northwest over the Mid to Upper Mississippi River
Valley, which is currently inducing a light northerly wind down the
Florida peninsula early this morning. This is typically a setup for
us here in South Florida that favors a process called "peninsular
drainage flow", where the prevailing wind direction is nearly
parallel to our peninsula and ultimately negates any type of warm
maritime influence that could otherwise prevent our temperatures
from cooling further. Surface obs over Glades County currently show
temperature readings in the low 50s with a light and variable wind,
which could ultimately set the stage for a few locations to
potentially drop into the upper 40s this morning given not only the
aforementioned observations, but also the nearest ACARS sounding
(KRSW - Fort Myers Southwest Florida Int`l Airport) starting to
showing the development of a surface inversion and point-soundings
from mesoscale models also suggesting the same. Despite us
continuing to have mid to upper-level clouds stream into the region
this morning from southwest to northeast as seen on CLD (Cloud-Top
Phase) satellite with the lingering presence of a subtropical jet
with embedded moisture, it does not appear as if this will have an
adverse effect on the low-temperature forecast. We should be waking
up at around daybreak to temperatures in the upper 40s west of Lake
Okeechobee (maybe even extending slightly southward towards Hendry
and northern Collier Counties), in the low to mid 50s across
interior and Southwest Florida, and in the upper 50s/low 60s across
the east coast metros. Not necessarily falling-iguana criteria, but
still relatively chilly for South Florida standards!
Regional ACARS and the 00Z MFL soundings both continue to show a
profound dry slot from the surface up through around 550-600 mb or
so with higher saturation in the mid to upper-levels of the
atmosphere due to the aforementioned persisting presence of a moist
subtropical jet stream, but forecast soundings show this moist layer
gradually eroding away into this afternoon as drier air begins to
work its way into South Florida. At the same time, the area of high
pressure located over the Mississippi Valley will slowly start to
expand eastward towards the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley,
allowing our winds here in South Florida to become northeasterly.
Limited cloud cover on infrared satellite projections over the
Midwest; strong radiational cooling with plenty of cold, Arctic air
still in place; and upper-level convergence provided by the
downstream flow of the same large upper trough that helped to
facilitate the cooldown we are currently experiencing here in South
Florida will all allow surface pressures to increase and for the
high to strengthen (MSLPs of roughly 1031-1033 mb falling within the
96th and 90-97th percentiles for the date according to REFS and
NAEFS ensemble guidance, respectively). At the same time, an
extremely elongated piece of vorticity associated with a sharp,
negatively-tilted trough stretching across the Northern and Central
Rockies will look to splinter in two, with the southernmost fragment
of vorticity expected to congeal and subsequently take the form of a
shortwave trough over the Southern Plains (and as a result, aid in
the development of a surface low just offshore of Galveston Bay in
Texas, which is supported by deterministic model guidance).
In response to all this, we will see a fortification in our surface
flow beginning tonight with the NBM showing sustained NE winds of 10-
15 kts over the local waters and along the immediate Atlantic/Gulf
coasts of South Florida and gusts of 15-20 kts. With our winds
veering out the northeast in tandem with peak daytime heating, the
warm Gulf Stream waters should act to moderate our temperatures as
highs are forecast to generally climb into the mid-upper 70s area-
wide to near 80 degrees in some southernmost locations furthest
downstream from this flow. Won`t be as cool as yesterday, but still
pleasantly within just a few degrees of average for this time of
year.
With this northeasterly flow starting to advect some more low-
level moisture into our region that should stay relatively confined
to the first 3,000-6,000 feet of the atmosphere (and with the
gradual depletion of the mid to upper-level saturation), we should
revert back to seeing more of those shallow-layer, fair-weather
cumulus clouds in the sky as they stream in from the Atlantic
periodically throughout the day. Most of the period will again
feature dry conditions with near-zero PoPs, however, guidance is
starting to hint at the possibility of perhaps a few developing
showers over our northernmost Atlantic waters by tonight, some of
which could graze the coast of Palm Beach County downwind of our
prevailing NE flow past sundown. This is coincident with a modest,
yet gradual, increase that we will see in our PWATs from 0.7-0.9"
this morning and afternoon to 0.9-1.1" by this evening. Albeit with
the latter still being below average at around the 30-40th
percentile for climatology, it will be just enough to at least start
pumping out a few, low-topped marine showers. PoPs of 10-15% have
been introduced, particularly along coastal Palm Beach County,
tonight into early Monday to address this.
The surface low pressure system that will develop in the
northwestern Gulf offshore of Texas tonight (as well as its
attendant parent shortwave trough from which it originated) will
continue to advance eastward across the northern/central Gulf on
Monday with an eventual route towards South Florida. Deterministic
model guidance does not show the associated moisture plume with this
atmospheric disturbance reaching South Florida until late Monday
afternoon or early evening, with forecast soundings still showing
plenty of residual dry air in our atmospheric column minus the first
kilometer or two due to the lingering onshore flow continuing to
advect Atlantic moisture into our region. With it now being the
second day that we will at least have some saturation in the lower
levels of the atmosphere, it will continue to be possible, similar
to tonight, for a few showers to make their way onshore primarily
into Palm Beach or perhaps even northern Broward along our ongoing
NE flow through Monday afternoon. PoPs of 20-40% will be in place
across these specified regions, before increasing more notably as we
cross over into the long term section of this AFD with the moisture
plume from the aforementioned shortwave and surface low arriving in
South Florida.
Winds will also start to increase more dramatically on Monday across
South Florida as the anomalously strong continental high pressure
previously mentioned in this discussion responsible for our veering
surface flow shifts eastward once again, now towards the Mid to
Upper Ohio River Valley, and continues to strengthen with forecast
MSLPs of 1034-1036 mb falling to below the 2nd percentile for
November 16th climatology as per ensemble guidance. This, coupled
with the eastward advancement of our shortwave + surface low duo
threat across the Northern/Central Gulf, will create a locally tight
pressure gradient between the two weather features across our
region. NBM has our NE surface flow increasing to 10-20 mph with
gusts of up to 25 mph. With continued air mass moderation courtesy
of our onshore flow, low temperatures on Monday morning across South
Florida will not be as chilly as previous instances, dropping into
the mid to upper 50s around the Lake, into the low to mid 60s over
the interior and across Southwest Florida, and into the upper 60s
across the east coast metros. Highs will generally climb into the
upper 70s to low 80s area-wide with a few locations in SW Florida
closely approaching the mid 80s.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 241 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
OVERVIEW & IMPACTS...
Forecast confidence has continued to increase in a prolonged
duration of dangerous marine and beach conditions across South
Florida and vicinity waters this week. The latest 00z model suite
now depicts a ramp up of gusty surface winds across the region
beginning on Monday night with a persistence of these conditions for
the remainder of the work week. Before we discuss the "why" and how
model guidance members differ on the atmospheric setup, let`s cut
straight to discussing impacts. Gusty northeasterly surface winds
could support the threat of life threatening rip currents and surf
at Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach beaches, as well as hazardous
marine conditions for small craft across all local waters of South
Florida. In addition, forecast model guidance hints at the potential
of coastal & frictional convergence along the east coast of South
Florida during the middle to late portion of the work week. Forecast
model soundings during this time frame show a classic skinny CAPE
profile, good low to middle level saturation (>80%), and opposing
1km to 6km wind directions. Given that we remain outside of the
reliable convection allowing models (CAMs) forecast window and the
evolution of surface features could still vary, the predictability
of the likelihood and severity of higher end rainfall maxima`s
remains low.
While the Weather Prediction Center (WPC)`s latest Quantitative
Precipitation Forecast (QPF) for the next seven days depicts
widespread totals of 1.0 to 1.5 inches along the east coast of South
Florida, a reasonable worst case scenario (one that favors a setup
of coastal & frictional convergence) could produce several inches of
rainfall across isolated locations along the east coast of South
Florida. The Weather Prediction Center has placed portions of the
east coast of South Florida in a Marginal risk of excessive rainfall
(level 1 of 4) beginning on Tuesday and continuing through Thursday.
This means that there is a 5-14% chance of excessive rainfall
leading to flash flooding within 25 miles of a given point in the
highlighted areas. Forecasted rainfall totals may shift in value
over the next couple of days which is standard in a complex pattern,
so be sure to not anchor to specific range of projected rainfall
values. The main takeaway is that aside from marine and beach
impacts, there is at least some level of threat of heavy rainfall
along the east coast of South Florida during the middle to late
portion of this week. Stay tuned to the latest forecast from NWS
Miami as the atmospheric setup discussed in detail (further below)
becomes more clear.
DETAILED SYNOPSIS...
A robust mid-level shortwave and accompanying sub-tropical jet-
streak is forecast to slowly transit across the eastern Gulf and
Florida Peninsula during much of the upcoming work week. Both
deterministic (ECMWF and GFS) as well as ensemble (ECENS & GEFS) have
trended with a slow progression of this feature across the region,
keeping upper level forcing and dynamics directly overhead of the
region. The trend of a slower propagation of the short-wave aside,
some model members even depict the potential of mid-level vorticity
becoming cut-off from the larger long-wave pattern. Why does this
matter? A longer duration of favorable dynamics (cold 500mb
temperatures, steep low to mid level lapse rates, upper level
divergence) aloft of our region could set the stage when combined
with sufficient instability and moisture for periods of both diurnal
and nocturnal shower and thunderstorm activity along the immediate
east coast of South Florida for much of the upcoming work week.
During the mid-week period, a strengthening pressure gradient
between 1) an expansive ridge of high pressure across much of the
eastern United States and 2) a frontal boundary to our south over
the southeastern Gulf and Greater Antilles is forecast to result in
gusty northeasterly wind flow across all of South Florida. The
highest wind speeds are projected over the local waters and along
the immediate coastline of southeastern Florida before surface
friction acts to reduce wind speeds at the surface further inland.
This enhancement of onshore winds coupled with the pooling of low
level boundary moisture across South Florida could set the stage for
increasing spatial and temporal coverage of showers (and heavy
rainfall) along the east coast of South Florida.
The implications of friction will also play a role in any threat of
heavy rainfall during this period that will primarily focus across
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach metro areas. As air slows along
the coast due to increased friction, ascent is maximized as air
parcels converge and are forced to rise. Combining this mesoscale
forcing with a potential gradient of instability along the immediate
coastline, sufficient boundary layer moisture, and the synoptic
kinematics (discussed in the totality of this synopsis) could set
the stage for repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms across
our east coast metro locales. With soil moisture values across Palm
Beach and Broward counties still in the 70-90th percentile, repeated
rounds of heavy rainfall could result in localized flooding concerns
and a marginal risk of flash flooding across urban areas. Outside of
forecast model soundings and QPF cluster analysis, coastal
convergence is a mesoscale phenomena that is best modeled within the
near-term time horizon of the CAMs. Speaking of QPF clusters, while
discrepancies remain between ensemble members, the 90th percentile
(reasonable worst case scenario) for all clusters suggests a 1 in 10
potential of several inches of rainfall occurring at isolated
locations across the east coast of South Florida Wednesday into
Friday.
The placement of the right entrance region of a poleward sub-
tropical jet streak over the western Atlantic waters and
northwestern/central Bahamas will set the stage for an area of
favorable upper level divergence. Model guidance (ECENS & GEFS) has
come into better agreement for the gradual development of a surface
low along a stationary frontal boundary across the Bahamas during
this time frame as low level convergence is maximized. Model
solutions now depict a gradual deepening of the surface low pressure
system with the low gradually lifting to the northeast beginning on
Thursday and continuing into the upcoming weekend. The development
of a surface low to our southeast could eventually usher in a
reinforcing surge of continental dry air via cyclonic northerly
surface flow as it lifts further away from the region late in the
work week into the upcoming weekend. The modification of the airmass
in place across South Florida is forecast to continue which will
result in a continuation of a gradual warming trend across the
region with maximum temperatures forecast to reach the low to mid
80s each afternoon through next weekend.

KEY MESSAGE 1...Prolonged period of dry and quiet
weather with moderating temperatures next week leading to
increasingly mild afternoons with cool nights.
Sunshine should be more abundant today compared to yesterday as we
are increasingly removed from the mid level trough, though its
effects will linger. We`ll continue to see diurnal clouds pop up and
we`ll have efficient mixing up to near 800mb. This will pull down
some breezy NW gusts, generally 20-25 mph. Combined with highs in
the upper 40s it will feel closer to the low to mid 40s for most,
mid 30s in the slopes of the Berkshires.
There is good consensus amongst the guidance that this coming week
will be dominated by a very broad surface high pressure/mid level
ridging pattern with troughing over the intermountain west. Rising
heights will lead to warming temperatures and keep skies mostly
sunny, especially Tuesday and beyond. Dry NW flow around the high
will lead to chilly low temperatures exacerbated at times by
radiational cooling while highs warm well above average, into the
60s by mid to late week. Eventually a dry cold front cools the
airmass down just a bit late week but no arctic intrusions on
the horizon. Overall a fantastic stretch of weather for late
November if you`re looking to get outside and enjoy some
relatively warmer days.

KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry weather will persist for most of the
upcoming week. Below normal temperatures with frost and/or
freeze conditions are expected each night and early morning
through the middle of the upcoming week.
The mid/upper trough will deamplify, but linger across the
eastern U.S. through at least Tuesday, with the axis shifting
toward the east as a well amplified ridge extends from the Gulf
Coast across the OH Valley and into the Great Lakes region.
Moisture will remain very limited with this pattern, especially
with the surface high also helping to suppress any return flow
through the upcoming week. This period of dry weather will add
to the rainfall deficiencies the area has experienced so far
this year. ILM`s departure from normal is more than 11 inches,
Florence and Lumberton more than 10 inches, and more than 20
inches in the Myrtle Beach area!
In addition to the dry conditions, the swath of cold air
supported by high pressure over the MS valley will result in
freezing temperatures early this morning. Coastal areas are
expected to be slightly warmer, but will experience areas of
frost, especially away from the beaches. As a result, the inland
Freeze Warning and coastal Frost Advisory remain in effect until
9 AM EST this morning. Frost looks likely again tonight into
early Monday morning, with a few spots reaching freezing again.
Frost is a good bet late each night into the early morning,

(Today and tonight)
Issued at 413 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
It`s been another uneventful overnight across the Florida Keys.
The air mass that came in behind yesterday`s front over-performed
in some aspects. While we expected drier air to rush in, the
magnitude was a lot drier than anticipated. Relative humidity
values fell in the afternoon yesterday, recovered slightly, then
fell even further during the first half of the overnight. Some
island communities got to as low as 45% relative humidity. Since
then, winds have gradually begun turning more towards the east and
this is ushering in better low level moisture.
With that being said, we will still be relatively drier thanks to
the front. On top of that, subsidence has settled in and will
likely keep rain chances below 10 percent for the island chain.
Across the Straits of Florida, chances will be marginally better
thanks to the warm currents of Gulf Stream. Otherwise, the mid and
high deck that has been with us for what seems like days now, will
also slide east today and we should see a fair amount of sunshine.
Looking slightly ahead, a surface high currently in the
Mississippi River Valley is going to be slowly moving eastward
today. It`s motion is slower than what models had previously
depicted and looks to now settle along the Eastern Seaboard about 12
hours later. This will translate into a slower climb in winds
locally for our area. However, do not be fooled, once the high
settles along the Eastern Seaboard it will build southward and
tighten the pressure gradient across the region. As such, we will
see breezy conditions Sunday night into Monday, becoming windy!

A weak nocturnal surge remains ongoing this morning with the
strongest breezes across mainly the Florida Bay and waters off the
Upper Keys. Here we have been observing moderate to briefly fresh
breezes. We have a couple more hours to go before the surge
dissipates but we have likely reached the peak or will be in the
next hour. As high pressure moves out of the Mississippi River
Valley later today, the pressure gradient across the Keys will
initially weaken, allowing for breezes to further slacken later
today. It will then slowly move eastward and settle along the
Eastern Seaboard starting Monday. This is a slower motion than
what was forecast yesterday. As a result fresh to strong breezes
may take until late Monday to develop across the region. Still
anticipating a prolonged period of fresh to strong breezes for
much of next week.

South Florida remains entrenched in a cool and dry post-frontal air
mass as we saw low temperatures yesterday morning drop into the low
50s around Lake Okeechobee and over the interior and into the upper
50s/low 60s across our Naples and east coast metros. According to
WPC`s latest surface analysis, a 1027-1028 mb surface ridge of
continental high pressure continues to be centered a little over
1,000 miles to our northwest over the Mid to Upper Mississippi River
Valley, which is currently inducing a light northerly wind down the
Florida peninsula early this morning. This is typically a setup for
us here in South Florida that favors a process called "peninsular
drainage flow", where the prevailing wind direction is nearly
parallel to our peninsula and ultimately negates any type of warm
maritime influence that could otherwise prevent our temperatures
from cooling further. Surface obs over Glades County currently show
temperature readings in the low 50s with a light and variable wind,
which could ultimately set the stage for a few locations to
potentially drop into the upper 40s this morning given not only the
aforementioned observations, but also the nearest ACARS sounding
(KRSW - Fort Myers Southwest Florida Int`l Airport) starting to
showing the development of a surface inversion and point-soundings
from mesoscale models also suggesting the same. Despite us
continuing to have mid to upper-level clouds stream into the region
this morning from southwest to northeast as seen on CLD (Cloud-Top
Phase) satellite with the lingering presence of a subtropical jet
with embedded moisture, it does not appear as if this will have an
adverse effect on the low-temperature forecast. We should be waking
up at around daybreak to temperatures in the upper 40s west of Lake
Okeechobee (maybe even extending slightly southward towards Hendry
and northern Collier Counties), in the low to mid 50s across
interior and Southwest Florida, and in the upper 50s/low 60s across
the east coast metros. Not necessarily falling-iguana criteria, but
still relatively chilly for South Florida standards!
Regional ACARS and the 00Z MFL soundings both continue to show a
profound dry slot from the surface up through around 550-600 mb or
so with higher saturation in the mid to upper-levels of the
atmosphere due to the aforementioned persisting presence of a moist
subtropical jet stream, but forecast soundings show this moist layer
gradually eroding away into this afternoon as drier air begins to
work its way into South Florida. At the same time, the area of high
pressure located over the Mississippi Valley will slowly start to
expand eastward towards the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley,
allowing our winds here in South Florida to become northeasterly.
Limited cloud cover on infrared satellite projections over the
Midwest; strong radiational cooling with plenty of cold, Arctic air
still in place; and upper-level convergence provided by the
downstream flow of the same large upper trough that helped to
facilitate the cooldown we are currently experiencing here in South
Florida will all allow surface pressures to increase and for the
high to strengthen (MSLPs of roughly 1031-1033 mb falling within the
96th and 90-97th percentiles for the date according to REFS and
NAEFS ensemble guidance, respectively). At the same time, an
extremely elongated piece of vorticity associated with a sharp,
negatively-tilted trough stretching across the Northern and Central
Rockies will look to splinter in two, with the southernmost fragment
of vorticity expected to congeal and subsequently take the form of a
shortwave trough over the Southern Plains (and as a result, aid in
the development of a surface low just offshore of Galveston Bay in
Texas, which is supported by deterministic model guidance).
In response to all this, we will see a fortification in our surface
flow beginning tonight with the NBM showing sustained NE winds of 10-
15 kts over the local waters and along the immediate Atlantic/Gulf
coasts of South Florida and gusts of 15-20 kts. With our winds
veering out the northeast in tandem with peak daytime heating, the
warm Gulf Stream waters should act to moderate our temperatures as
highs are forecast to generally climb into the mid-upper 70s area-
wide to near 80 degrees in some southernmost locations furthest
downstream from this flow. Won`t be as cool as yesterday, but still
pleasantly within just a few degrees of average for this time of
year.
With this northeasterly flow starting to advect some more low-
level moisture into our region that should stay relatively confined
to the first 3,000-6,000 feet of the atmosphere (and with the
gradual depletion of the mid to upper-level saturation), we should
revert back to seeing more of those shallow-layer, fair-weather
cumulus clouds in the sky as they stream in from the Atlantic
periodically throughout the day. Most of the period will again
feature dry conditions with near-zero PoPs, however, guidance is
starting to hint at the possibility of perhaps a few developing
showers over our northernmost Atlantic waters by tonight, some of
which could graze the coast of Palm Beach County downwind of our
prevailing NE flow past sundown. This is coincident with a modest,
yet gradual, increase that we will see in our PWATs from 0.7-0.9"
this morning and afternoon to 0.9-1.1" by this evening. Albeit with
the latter still being below average at around the 30-40th
percentile for climatology, it will be just enough to at least start
pumping out a few, low-topped marine showers. PoPs of 10-15% have
been introduced, particularly along coastal Palm Beach County,
tonight into early Monday to address this.
The surface low pressure system that will develop in the
northwestern Gulf offshore of Texas tonight (as well as its
attendant parent shortwave trough from which it originated) will
continue to advance eastward across the northern/central Gulf on
Monday with an eventual route towards South Florida. Deterministic
model guidance does not show the associated moisture plume with this
atmospheric disturbance reaching South Florida until late Monday
afternoon or early evening, with forecast soundings still showing
plenty of residual dry air in our atmospheric column minus the first
kilometer or two due to the lingering onshore flow continuing to
advect Atlantic moisture into our region. With it now being the
second day that we will at least have some saturation in the lower
levels of the atmosphere, it will continue to be possible, similar
to tonight, for a few showers to make their way onshore primarily
into Palm Beach or perhaps even northern Broward along our ongoing
NE flow through Monday afternoon. PoPs of 20-40% will be in place
across these specified regions, before increasing more notably as we
cross over into the long term section of this AFD with the moisture
plume from the aforementioned shortwave and surface low arriving in
South Florida.
Winds will also start to increase more dramatically on Monday across
South Florida as the anomalously strong continental high pressure
previously mentioned in this discussion responsible for our veering
surface flow shifts eastward once again, now towards the Mid to
Upper Ohio River Valley, and continues to strengthen with forecast
MSLPs of 1034-1036 mb falling to below the 2nd percentile for
November 16th climatology as per ensemble guidance. This, coupled
with the eastward advancement of our shortwave + surface low duo
threat across the Northern/Central Gulf, will create a locally tight
pressure gradient between the two weather features across our
region. NBM has our NE surface flow increasing to 10-20 mph with
gusts of up to 25 mph. With continued air mass moderation courtesy
of our onshore flow, low temperatures on Monday morning across South
Florida will not be as chilly as previous instances, dropping into
the mid to upper 50s around the Lake, into the low to mid 60s over
the interior and across Southwest Florida, and into the upper 60s
across the east coast metros. Highs will generally climb into the
upper 70s to low 80s area-wide with a few locations in SW Florida
closely approaching the mid 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 241 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
OVERVIEW & IMPACTS...
Forecast confidence has continued to increase in a prolonged
duration of dangerous marine and beach conditions across South
Florida and vicinity waters this week. The latest 00z model suite
now depicts a ramp up of gusty surface winds across the region
beginning on Monday night with a persistence of these conditions for
the remainder of the work week. Before we discuss the "why" and how
model guidance members differ on the atmospheric setup, let`s cut
straight to discussing impacts. Gusty northeasterly surface winds
could support the threat of life threatening rip currents and surf
at Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach beaches, as well as hazardous
marine conditions for small craft across all local waters of South
Florida. In addition, forecast model guidance hints at the potential
of coastal & frictional convergence along the east coast of South
Florida during the middle to late portion of the work week. Forecast
model soundings during this time frame show a classic skinny CAPE
profile, good low to middle level saturation (>80%), and opposing
1km to 6km wind directions. Given that we remain outside of the
reliable convection allowing models (CAMs) forecast window and the
evolution of surface features could still vary, the predictiability
of the likelihood and severity of higher end rainfall maxima`s
remains low.
While the Weather Prediction Center (WPC)`s latest Quantitative
Precipitation Forecast (QPF) for the next seven days depicts
widespread totals of 1.0 to 1.5 inches along the east coast of South
Florida, a reasonable worst case scenario (one that favors a setup
of coastal & frictional convergence) could produce several inches of
rainfall across isolated locations along the east coast of South
Florida. The Weather Prediction Center has placed portions of the
east coast of South Florida in a Marginal risk of excessive rainfall
(level 1 of 4) beginning on Tuesday and continuing through Thursday.
This means that there is a 5-14% chance of excessive rainfall
leading to flash flooding within 25 miles of a given point in the
highlighted areas. Forecasted rainfall totals may shift in value
over the next couple of days which is standard in a complex pattern,
so be sure to not anchor to specific range of projected rainfall
values. The main takeaway is that aside from marine and beach
impacts, there is at least some level of threat of heavy rainfall
along the east coast of South Florida during the middle to late
portion of this week. Stay tuned to the latest forecast from NWS
Miami as the atmospheric setup discussed in detail (further below)
becomes more clear.
DETAILED SYNOPSIS...
A robust mid-level shortwave and accompanying sub-tropical jet-
streak is forecast to slowly transit across the eastern Gulf and
Florida Peninsula during much of the upcoming work week. Both
deterministic (ECMWF and GFS) as well as ensemble (ECENS & GEFS) have
trended with a slow progression of this feature across the region,
keeping upper level forcing and dynamics directly overhead of the
region. The trend of a slower propagation of the short-wave aside,
some model members even depict the potential of mid-level vorticity
becoming cut-off from the larger long-wave pattern. Why does this
matter? A longer duration of favorable dynamics (cold 500mb
temperatures, steep low to mid level lapse rates, upper level
divergence) aloft of our region could set the stage when combined
with sufficient instability and moisture for periods of both diurnal
and nocturnal shower and thunderstorm activity along the immediate
east coast of South Florida for much of the upcoming work week.
During the mid-week period, a strengthening pressure gradient
between 1) an expansive ridge of high pressure across much of the
eastern United States and 2) a frontal boundary to our south over
the southeastern Gulf and Greater Antilles is forecast to result in
gusty northeasterly wind flow across all of South Florida. The
highest wind speeds are projected over the local waters and along
the immediate coastline of southeastern Florida before surface
friction acts to reduce wind speeds at the surface further inland.
This enhancement of onshore winds coupled with the pooling of low
level boundary moisture across South Florida could set the stage for
increasing spatial and temporal coverage of showers (and heavy
rainfall) along the east coast of South Florida.
The implications of friction will also play a role in any threat of
heavy rainfall during this period that will primarily focus across
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach metro areas. As air slows along
the coast due to increased friction, ascent is maximized as air
parcels converge and are forced to rise. Combining this mesoscale
forcing with a potential gradient of instability along the immediate
coastline, sufficient boundary layer moisture, and the synoptic
kinematics (discussed in the totality of this synopsis) could set
the stage for repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms across
our east coast metro locales. With soil moisture values across Palm
Beach and Broward counties still in the 70-90th percentile, repeated
rounds of heavy rainfall could result in localized flooding concerns
and a marginal risk of flash flooding across urban areas. Outside of
forecast model soundings and QPF cluster analysis, coastal
convergence is a mesoscale phenomena that is best modeled within the
near-term time horizon of the CAMs. Speaking of QPF clusters, while
discrepancies remain between ensemble members, the 90th percentile
(reasonable worst case scenario) for all clusters suggests a 1 in 10
potential of several inches of rainfall occurring at isolated
locations across the east coast of South Florida Wednesday into
Friday.
The placement of the right entrance region of a poleward sub-
tropical jet streak over the western Atlantic waters and
northwestern/central Bahamas will set the stage for an area of
favorable upper level divergence. Model guidance (ECENS & GEFS) has
come into better agreement for the gradual development of a surface
low along a stationary frontal boundary across the Bahamas during
this time frame as low level convergence is maximized. Model
solutions now depict a gradual deepening of the surface low pressure
system with the low gradually lifting to the northeast beginning on
Thursday and continuing into the upcoming weekend. The development
of a surface low to our southeast could eventually usher in a
reinforcing surge of continental dry air via cyclonic northerly
surface flow as it lifts further away from the region late in the
work week into the upcoming weekend. The modification of the airmass
in place across South Florida is forecast to continue which will
result in a continuation of a gradual warming trend across the
region with maximum temperatures forecast to reach the low to mid
80s each afternoon through next weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 235 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
Upper level troughing will remain along the eastern seaboard for
the next few days with a shortwave moving along the northern gulf
coast Monday into Tuesday. During midweek the trough will shift
out into the Atlantic Ocean, but linger back over Florida,
possibly cutting off over the state Thursday before opening up
and drifting northeast late in the week. Meanwhile at the surface,
strong high pressure will hold over the eastern U.S. setting up an
increasing northeasterly flow across the area with temperatures
and humidity gradually moderating through the week.
For today we`ll start out cool, but with plenty of sunshine we`ll
see temperatures climb to near 70 degrees north to the mid 70s
central and south this afternoon as northeasterly flow continues.
Tonight will not be as cool with lows ranging from the upper 40s
north to near 60 south.
On Monday we`ll begin to see more clouds as the shortwave
approaches leading to some mid/high clouds and Atlantic moisture
spreads west helping to bring some lower clouds into the area.
Enough moisture could setup to allow for a few light showers
Monday night as the shortwave moves by with more showers possible
Tuesday, but mainly over the interior as breezy northeasterly flow
becomes established.
For the rest of the week, the breezy northeasterly flow will
persist and continue to bring some Atlantic moisture westward
leading to a few light showers/sprinkles each day, but still
mainly over the interior.

this afternoon.

Eastern Virginia and Northeast North Carolina late tonight
through later this morning. Dry, chilly weather continues
through Tuesday, before temperatures moderate for mid to late
week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
As of 225 AM EST Sunday...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Frost and Freeze headlines remain in effect
through early this morning for portions of eastern Virginia and
northeast North Carolina. Chilly weather continues through
Tuesday, with additional frost or freeze headlines possible
tonight where the growing season remains active.
Early morning weather analysis shows an upper-level low still
in place from Atlantic Canada into coastal New England, with a
strong attending trough extending south into the eastern Gulf
Coast. At the surface, 1028+ mb high pressure centered over the
mid-Mississippi River Valley continues to slowly build east
behind a surface trough axis oriented well offshore.
Temperatures as of this writing are mainly in the low to mid
30s just inland from the Chesapeake Bay west to the VA piedmont,
with mid 30s to low 40s along the immediate coast, including
the Lower Eastern Shore. While skies have cleared out this
morning, the boundary layer has remained mixed just enough to
hold up temperatures along the coast. However, still expect
winds to relax a bit just inland, where a Freeze Warning remains
in place from Bertie County, NC up to the City of Suffolk. A
Frost Advisory also remains in effect just to the east, from
interior portions of eastern Virginia and coastal northeast
North Carolina where the growing season has not yet technically
ended. The growing season will end across most of our counties
today, leaving only northeast North Carolina counties east of
the Chowan River along with Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and
Virginia Beach active until later this month. An updated Public
Information Statement will be issued later this morning.
Very little change in sensible weather through tomorrow, as the
surface high slowly slides east and the upper-level low
gradually weakens. After a sunny start, clouds will once again
increase late this morning and this afternoon. Nudged forecast
highs down slightly, as guidance has been slightly too warm
given the persistent stratocumulus deck over the past few days.
Highs today and tomorrow will be in the low to mid 50s. Clearing
skies and a relaxing pressure gradient tonight will allow lows
to fall into the lower 30s inland and mid to upper 30s along the
coast. While not quite as breezy as yesterday, NNW winds will
still nevertheless occasionally gust to 15-20 mph this
afternoon, before quickly diminishing after sunset.
Dry weather looks to prevail throughout the week ahead, as high
pressure builds into the area and becomes anchored overhead for
the mid to late week period. Aloft, the trough looks to finally
move offshore by late Monday into Tuesday, with upstream
ridging building in behind it. This pattern will support a
moderating temperature trend from midweek through next weekend.
Forecast highs reach the mid 60s by Wednesday, warming into the
upper 60s to near 70 inland Thursday through Sunday. Even as the
air mass turns milder, dry conditions and efficient radiational
cooling under clear skies and light winds should still allow
morning lows to fall into the lower 30s across inland areas,
with upper 30s to low 40s closer to the coast. And unfortunately
there remains little to no prospect for welcome rainfall over
the next week to 10 days.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1245 AM EST Sunday...
VFR conditions across area terminals early this morning prevail
through the 06z/15 TAF period. Clouds have scattered out largely
as expected, as high pressure builds into the region. A mainly
clear sky is expected over the area through mid-morning, when
clouds begin to increase again due to the NW flow and the
persistent upper low over the eastern seaboard. CIGs remain in
VFR range, but become BKN once again for a majority of the area
by early to mid afternoon (bases ~5 to 7 kft AGL). Winds remain
light early this morning, but become gusty (~20 knots) again by
late morning into this afternoon.
Outlook: VFR conditions are favored through midweek, as high
pressure builds over the region. Gusty NW winds, gradually
diminishing tonight through Monday.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 225 AM EST Sunday...
Key Messages:
- Small Craft Advisories continue through this morning for the
coastal waters and through this afternoon for the Chesapeake Bay.
- High pressure builds into the region this afternoon through at
least Thursday with sub-advisory conditions expected.
Latest analysis shows high pressure centered over the MS Valley
early this morning. Winds are NW around 20 kt with gusts to 25-30 kt
over the Ches. Bay and coastal waters. Waves are 1-3 ft with seas of
2-4 ft in the coastal waters and 4-7 ft beyond 60 nm. NW winds will
diminish today to ~15 kt with gusts to 20 kt, remaining out of the
NW. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through 7 AM for the
coastal waters and through 1 PM for the Chesapeake Bay. Will note
that gusts to ~20 kt may be possible this afternoon and evening in
the Ches. Bay, as another surge of CAA filters in. This looks to be
marginal and confidence is too low to extend SCAs in the Ches. Bay
at this time. Will continue to monitor trends and obs.
High pressure builds into the region this evening through at least
Thursday, allowing for benign marine conditions to return. NW winds
of ~15 kt are expected on Monday with light NNW winds around 5-10 kt
(gusts to 15 kt in the southern coastal waters) on Tuesday. Winds
will be light and variable Wednesday and Thursday. Seas will average
2-3 ft with 1-2 ft waves.

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, BEACH FORECAST, FIRE WEATHER...
.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
- Drier airmass will help reduce heat indices, but above-normal
temperatures will likely continue today, mainly across coastal
areas, lowlands, interior valleys, and urban zones. Sensitive
individuals should stay hydrated and reduce sun exposure during
peak daytime heat.
- Fair weather conditions are expected across the islands today
with the presence of a dry airmass.
- Frequency of morning showers is expected to increase by Monday
onward across the USVI and E PR, along with afternoon showers
and isolated thunderstorm activity across W PR.
- Life-threatening rip currents remain possible (moderate risk)
today across southern beaches of PR. Beach conditions should
gradually improve this afternoon into Monday as winds and seas
diminish. The moderate risk will return along north-exposed
beaches Monday night onward.
&&
.Short Term(Today through Tuesday)...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
Quiet weather conditions persisted overnight, as indicated by
satellite and radar imagery. Only a few showers, accompanied by
isolated thunderstorms, developed over the waters approximately 40
miles northwest of Puerto Rico. Surface observations recorded
above-normal minimum temperatures, ranging from the upper 70s to
lower 80s across coastal areas and from the 60s to 70s across
mountainous regions. Light winds prevailed overnight.
A broad surface high pressure over the central Atlantic will
promote south to southeast winds today. The pressure gradient is
weakening, resulting in lighter winds compared to previous days.
Aloft, a mid to upper-level ridge persisting over the region will
maintain subsidence and dry air, suppressing significant rainfall
development across the islands. Today is expected to be the most
stable day of the forecast period, with the arrival of a drier air
mass with precipitable water values of around 1.2 inches and
slight concentrations of Saharan dust particles. Weather
conditions will be dominated by periods of sunshine and warm
temperatures. These conditions will likely result in above-normal
temperatures, particularly across coastal areas, lowlands,
interior valleys, and urban areas. Minimum temperatures are
already running above normal, so the day will start on the warm
side. Stay hydrated and limit sun exposure during peak heating
hours.
During Monday and Tuesday, atmospheric moisture is expected to
recover slightly, with precipitable water values returning to
seasonal levels and relative humidity in the 850 to 700 mb layer
showing some improvement. Relative humidity in the 700 to 500 mb
layer will also gradually increase, indicating a modest recovery
in mid- level moisture. Meanwhile, 250 mb geopotential heights and
1000 to 500 mb thickness values are expected to have relatively
minor changes, suggesting limited variation in the overall
atmospheric pattern. Weather conditions will be influenced by
easterly disturbances bringing periodic pulses of moisture across
the islands. However, the mid-level ridge will weaken slightly
but will continue to promote moderate subsidence, potentially
limiting deeper convective development. Overall, expect morning
showers across windward sections of Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, followed by afternoon convection across the
interior and western portions of Puerto Rico, driven by the
prevailing easterly wind flow. This will bring back the possibility
of observing ponding of water on roads and in poorly drained
areas, also a low chance of urban and small streams flooding
(Level 1 of 4 of excessive Rainfall Risk).
&&
.Long Term(Wednesday through Sunday)...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
A seasonal weather pattern is expected for the remainder of the
workweek, transitioning to more frequent passing showers and
variable conditions over the weekend as additional tropical moisture
filters into the region. An ESE flow will prevail through the second
half of the workweek as surface high pressure remains centered
across the central Atlantic, shifting more southeasterly over the
weekend as an induced surface low develops north northwest of the
local area. A mid- level ridge will remain in control through most
of the long- term period, maintaining generally stable conditions
aloft. However, trade wind perturbations induced by an upper low
well east of the Caribbean (near 40W to 50W) will bring pockets of
moisture from time to time, mainly confined to the lower levels of
the atmosphere. Precipitable water values will fluctuate between 1.6
to 1.8 inches, which is within seasonal levels for this time of the
year. Therefore, expect morning passing showers across windward
areas, followed by afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms
across the interior and northwestern quadrant of Puerto Rico, as
well as potentially into portions of the San Juan metropolitan area.
Streamers are also likely to develop downwind from the USVI,
Vieques, and Culebra. While an upper-level trough will cross the
region from the west Thursday into Friday, dry mid- levels will
limit convective enhancement.
Over the weekend, as a more southeasterly flow establishes and the
surface low develops NNW of the region, additional moisture will
pool across the islands, with precipitable water values reaching 1.8
to 2.0 inches along with above seasonal levels of moisture in the
mid- level moisture. This setup will favor more frequent showers
across the regional waters and windward areas, including the USVI,
as well as more scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms across
the interior and northwestern quadrant of Puerto Rico. The
persistent ESE to SE flow will maintain a daily heat risk,
particularly for sensitive individuals. Please continue to follow
recommendations from official health authorities.
&&
.AVIATION...

around lighter and vrb overnight.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
A surface high pressure extending from the eastern to central
Atlantic will promote light to moderate southeasterly winds across
the regional waters through at least Monday. Seas will generally
range between 3 and 5 feet, occasionally reaching up to 6 feet
across the offshore waters and local passages. Marine conditions are
expected to continue improving throughout the week as winds and wind-
driven seas continue to decrease. However, passing showers and
isolated thunderstorms may produce locally higher winds and seas.
&&
.BEACH FORECAST...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
Wind-driven seas will continue to support a moderate risk of life-
threatening rip currents across most beaches of Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands through early today. The rip current risk is
expected to decrease from today onwards as wind and seas continue to
subside, with additional improvements anticipated through mid-week.
Despite the improving conditions, beachgoers should continue to
exercise caution, particularly along exposed beaches. Life-
threatening rip currents can still develop near jetties, groins,
piers, and reefs, even where a low risk is forecast. Although shower
and thunderstorm activity is expected to remain limited, isolated
thunderstorms may develop near the western and northwestern beaches
of Puerto Rico during the afternoon hours. Beachgoers should seek
shelter immediately if thunder is heard and remain weather aware.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 336 AM AST Sun Nov 15 2026
Minimum relative humidity values are expected to decrease into
the 50s across southern coastal Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands today as a drier air mass moves across the region.
However, winds are expected to remain below fire weather
thresholds, helping to limit the overall fire danger.

Issued at 151 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
Current-Mon...Another cool start to the morning with temperatures
beginning in the 40s/50s. At least one more dry day today, with
moisture gradually returning into Mon and an increase in PoP chances
esp along the Space/Treasure coasts. Onshore flow strengthens on Mon
with breezy/gusty conditions nearly areawide. An upper level
disturbance moves into the Deep South on Mon and across the Florida
peninsula Mon night with ISOLD-SCT showers forecast. Slightly below
normal temperatures today/Mon with maxes in the L-M70s, except few
U70s across the Treasure Coast. With the addition of moisture and
strengthening of onshore flow our min temps overnight into Mon
morning will recover into the M-U50s over the interior and L60s near
the coast, except M60s along the St. Lucie/Martin coasts. For Mon
night/Tue morning our lows will only fall into the U50s N/W of I-4
with 60s most everywhere else.
Tue-Sat...Surface high pressure encompasses much of the eastern
CONUS and combined with lower pressure across the western Atlc will
produce a tight pressure gradient through much of this period. This
will allow for a continuation of breezy to potentially windy onshore
(gusty) winds each day remaining a bit elevated over the interior
and breezy/gusty along the coast each night. An unsettled (troughy)
pattern will continue aloft across the Florida peninsula with ample
moisture in place. This set-up could allow for heavy rainfall (esp
along the coast) at least Tue-Thu. Presently, the Weather Prediction
Center has outlooked eastern FL under a Marginal threat for
Excessive Rainfall these three days. Low confidence in exactly where
heavy bands may set up, but we do not anticipate as much rainfall as
we saw a couple of weeks ago. Much will depend on the
strength/position of a low/trough forecast to develop near/east of
the Bahamas early/mid week. This feature will gradually track
northeast away from eastern FL, but additional impacts will include
poor/hazardous boating conditions and building seas creating rough,
pounding surf along the coast with minor beach erosion likely, as
well as strong rip currents. Rain chances increase areawide (Tue-
Fri) - highest along the coast. A low chance for lightning storms
will also be forecast. By Wed, temperatures for highs will be near
to slightly above climo. Low temperatures will be above normal for
much of this period.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 151 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
Thru Thursday...With high pressure to the north and developing low
pressure over the western Atlc, boating conditions will deteriorate
early in the week thru late week as the pgrad tightens and onshore
winds increase. Wind speeds will approach 15-25 kts with frequent
higher gusts by late Mon-Thu. Seas 2-4 ft today will build 4-6 ft
Mon, 5-7 ft Mon night, 6-8 ft thru Tue night, then 8-11 ft Wed-Thu.
Small Craft Advisories will be necessary by Mon continuing thru much
of the week as conditions remain unsettled. Moisture returns and

.KEY MESSAGES...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Prolonged period of dry and quiet weather with
moderating temperatures next week leading to increasingly mild
afternoons with cool nights.
Sunshine should be more abundant today compared to yesterday as we
are increasingly removed from the mid level trough, though its
effects will linger. We`ll continue to see diurnal clouds pop up and
we`ll have efficient mixing up to near 800mb. This will pull down
some breezy NW gusts, generally 20-25 mph. Combined with highs in
the upper 40s it will feel closer to the low to mid 40s for most,
mid 30s in the slopes of the Berkshires.
There is good consensus amongst the guidance that this coming week
will be dominated by a very broad surface high pressure/mid level
ridging pattern with troughing over the intermountain west. Rising
heights will lead to warming temperatures and keep skies mostly
sunny, especially Tuesday and beyond. Dry NW flow around the high
will lead to chilly low temperatures exacerbated at times by
radiational cooling while highs warm well above average, into the
60s by mid to late week. Eventually a dry cold front cools the
airmass down just a bit late week but no arctic intrusions on
the horizon. Overall a fantastic stretch of weather for late
November if you`re looking to get outside and enjoy some
relatively warmer days.

Issued at 1253 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
Yesterday (Saturday), turned out to be much wetter than majority of
the guidance indicated, with several pockets over 2.0" along the
northern Coastal Bend and southern Victoria Crossroads. This same
area will be most favorable for additional showers and storms
through today, resulting in a marginal to slight risk of excessive
rainfall. A 30-50% chance for showers and storms this morning
over the Coastal Plains will increase to a 50-90% this afternoon
as a cold front pushes through. FROPA is expected by this evening,
latest CAM guidance trending faster, causing only lingering low
rain chances to continue tonight. Majority of the mid-level lift
support will remain to our northeast, limiting the southern extent
of the severe threat. Instability will likely be limited with
CAPE under 1500 J/kg, but with effective shear over 40 knots
aligned parallel to the frontal boundary, a line of strong storms
can`t be ruled out ahead of and along the front as it pushes
through. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary hazards.
The shallow cold air mass will allow for low overcast clouds to
linger through Monday, likely cooler than what the NBM has currently
with temperatures varying little night to day with the breezy
offshore flow. Therefore, went with a blend of short-range consensus
and the REFS to get max temperatures on Monday only in the mid to
upper 50s areawide; still about 10 degrees warmer than the record
low maxes but it`ll feel nice! Rain-free conditions with partly to
mostly cloudy skies will persist through the middle of the week
before moisture advection returns, bringing low rain chances back in
the latter half of the week. A shortwave next weekend will result in
a slight increase in our rain chances.
Minor coastal flooding is becoming increasingly likely tonight into
early Monday morning as strong northeasterly winds enhance the Ekman
transport mechanism along with sufficient wave run-up from 8-9
second swell periods. There is a high risk of rip currents tonight
through Monday, leading to especially dangerous swimming conditions.
Minor coastal flooding may continue to be a concern into the middle
of next week during high tide at night.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1253 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
An approaching cold front will lead to mostly MVFR conditions,
especially after 12Z. Winds prior to the front will be southerly at
10-15 kts. Showers associated with the front will begin moving in as
early at 17Z across the Victoria Crossroads and then moving south
(closer to the coastline) through 00Z. Greatest risk with
thunderstorms along this line will be gusty and erratic winds
followed by a shift to N`ly wind at 10-20 kt with the higher
sustained wind along the immediate coastline. Behind the front, IFR
CIGs return with brief LIFR drop in CIGs after 00Z.

medium to high chances for showers and storms through tonight, with
an increasing threat of waterspouts. A Small Craft Advisory remains
in effect through midnight tonight over all waters, upgrading to a
Gale Warning late tonight through Monday over the open waters as
near Gale sustained winds and frequent Gale force winds follow in
the wake of the cold front. Strong northeasterly winds will persist
over the bays but may need to be include in the Gale Warning if
winds trend stronger. At least Small Craft Advisory conditions will
continue through Tuesday night before winds weaken to moderate to
fresh out of the east to southeast mid to late this week.

Updated at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
- Hazardous marine conditions are likely for much of this week
starting on Monday. Small Craft Advisories will be needed for
the Gulf waters, and occasional gusts near gale force are
expected.
- No additional freezes are expected for this week after this
morning, and a warming trend is expected after Monday.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
After a frosty start this morning, temperatures will rebound back
into the 60s this afternoon for most areas with partly cloudy
skies. High pressure centered north of the area will maintain a
dry and cool northeast flow across the area.
For tonight, cloud cover will increase late in the night from west
to east as an upper level shortwave approaches. This cloud cover
and a slight increase in moisture should keep temperatures from
dropping as low as this morning, and overnight lows are expected
to range from the mid 30s across the northern counties to mid 40s
closer to the coast.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 144 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026
The upper level shortwave will move through on Monday with abundant
cloud cover and cool northeast surface winds. The best moisture and
lift are expected to remain south of the area, so rain chances are
minimal despite the cloudy skies. Monday`s high temperatures will
be on the cool side with the cloud cover and northeast flow. NBM
temperatures for Monday may be too high, and the official forecast
trended towards CONSRaw guidance. This results in highs remaining
in the mid to upper 50s over a large portion of the area, except
mid 60s across the far southeast big bend.
Beyond Monday, a warming trend is expected with highs getting back
into the 70s by the middle to end of the week with dry weather still
continuing.

- 1) Frost/freeze conditions through daybreak today and again
tonight.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Frost/freeze conditions through daybreak today
and again tonight.
Winds have gone light to calm across the region, a result of the
prevailing high pressure at the surface. Combined with clear skies,
a very chilly night is underway across the region. Several sites are
already reporting 32 degrees as of midnight. A Freeze Warning
remains in effect for a bulk of the SC Lowcountry and southeastern
GA. A Frost Advisory is in effect along the SC coastal counties,
where frost is forecast away from the immediate coastline. These
products are in effect through 9 AM.
If widespread freezing temperatures occur early this morning, then
this will end the local growing season and Frost/Freeze products
will not be issued for tonight/early Monday morning. However, if
only some areas observe freezing temperatures, then the growing
season continues and we will likely need Frost/Freeze products
tonight/early Monday morning. Regardless of the outcome, overnight
temperatures will range from low to mid 30s across the inland
counties and upper 30s to low 40s across the coastal counties.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR through the 06Z TAF period at KCHS/KJZI/KSAV.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Expect VFR conditions to prevail.
&&
.MARINE...
Today and Tonight: High pressure will dominate over the marine
waters through tonight, yielding N winds 10 to 15 knots and seas
2 to 3 ft.
Monday through Thursday: As slowly high pressure expands across the
region and then eventually into the Atlantic, expect northeasterly
flow to take hold of the forecast and gradually ramp up throughout
the period. Wind speeds will generally range from 15 to 20 kt with
gusts up to 25 kts (even 30 kts possible across the offshore
waters). East-northeasterly swell will be on tap through the period
as well with seas ranging from 4 to 6 ft across the nearshore
waters, then 5 to 8 ft across the offshore waters. Small Craft
Advisories will likely be needed on Monday evening for the offshore
Georgia waters, and then eventually for the nearshore South Carolina
waters as well on Tuesday through the rest of the period. Mariners
should stay up to date with latest marine forecast before heading
offshore.

Edged low temperatures down a few degrees through mid week.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) First freeze of the season for much of ENC away from bodies of
water this morning, with frost potential elsewhere on the
mainland. Cold mornings continue through mid week then a
moderating trend mid to late week.
2) Dry high pres continues through much of the coming week with
warm days but chilly nights and continued ongoing drought
conditions. Afternoon relative humidities will be quite low but
winds light.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cold low-level thicknesses and strong high pressure
over the region will support frost/freeze impacts across all of
the mainland ENC this morning. Continued good radiational
cooling through the beginning of the week will bring a freeze
threat each night/morning, although a season ending freeze this
morning would end the frost/freeze program for the counties the
freeze occurs, and additional frost/freeze headlines may not be
needed anymore. The only areas to escape frost or freezing temps
tonight will be areas immediately adjacent to water bodies,
including the beach communities. The risk of frost impacts may
be lessened Sunday night as a weak cold front moves through
which will keep the boundary layer a bit more mixed with a light
breeze preventing ideal rad cooling. High pressure then
reasserts itself Monday and Tuesday night, with freezing temps
or frost returning once again.
KEY MESSAGE 2...The aforementioned very dry airmass and low TD`s
each day over the coming week will exacerbate the worsening drought
conditions in place across ENC, and fortunately winds are not
expected to be strong with the high nearby. However, fire weather
concerns may grow with the curing vegetation combined with low RH
values each afternoon. Highs will warm back to above climo in
the upper 60s to low 70s mid to late week, but overnight lows
will continue quite chilly and below climo with the dry high
pres cont to dominate all week.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Unremarkable weather for aviation interests today as high
pressure continues to dominate the area keeping skies clear and
winds W to NW at under 10 kt through the period. A weak front
will cross the region tonight bringing an uptick in clouds at
around 5-6 kft but no precipitation.
Outlook (Monday through Thursday): A weak cold front will move
through ENC by early Mon with a weak northerly wind shift.
There may be a brief bump up in winds as well, but at this time
a significant increase in winds is not expected. Light north to
northeast winds are expected to continue into much of next week
as high pressure remains centered to the north of the area.
Scattered low end VFR strato cu may accompany the Sunday night
to Monday morning front.
&&
.MARINE...
The nwrly gradient cont to weaken and winds are in the 5-15 kt
range, with some gusts aoa 20 kt over the Gulf Stream where
better mixing occuring. Seas cont to subside, with the last of 6
ft seas across the ctrl waters as of late this evening. All
nearshore marine zones will be in the 2-5 ft range by daybreak
today.
A reinforcing cold front will drop through late Sunday night
into Monday morning. This front is expected to lead to a brief
bump up in winds as it moves through. Some 25+ kt wind gusts may
mix over the Gulf Stream waters, generally south of C Hatteras,
but will not issue any SCA headlines attm, and wait to see model
trends for this possibility. Seas may briefly get a bump up
with this northerly surge as well and inc to 6+ ft over the
Gulf.
Outlook (Monday through Thursday): After Monday`s wind surge,
general N to NE winds of 10-20kt are expected for much of the
upcoming week as high pressure remains anchored to the north
while a broad area of low pressure resides to the south well
offshore of the Southeast U.S. Seas appear to remain below 6 ft
for the nearshore coastal waters.

- Dry air combined with ongoing drought conditions will elevate
fire spread concerns across northern portions of the area
through this afternoon. Residents in areas under burn bans
should not conduct outdoor burning of any kind. Residents in
areas without official burn bans should take extra precautions
if burning outdoors.
- Hazardous marine conditions are expected off and on through

&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Now through Monday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Quiet and cool night in store. By 04z temps were already down
into the 40s and lower 50s across most of the area with a few
isolated areas in the cooler drainage areas in the 30s. Temps will
likely continue to drop a little more overnight but will slow
down especially as clouds continue to build in from the west.
As for the forecast the main forecast concerns is the s/w that will
move into the region later today and through the region Monday along
with increasing hazardous marine conditions. Our main antagonist is
currently moving over the TX panhandle and it looks like it will be
able to undercut the ridge overnight tonight and early Monday as it
slides into the Lower MS Valley. The mid lvl jet max is still just
downstream of the trough axis and thus likely why it will have
enough punch to keep driving ESE. It will start to open up and merge
with the deeper L/W trough just before it pushes off the east coast.
The biggest problem is because of the ridging just ahead, our recent
cold front, and sfc high to the north moisture will not be able to
recover fast enough ahead of it but also with the orientation that
this s/w takes it will lead to a majority of the strongest support
remaining just off to the south. With that we will likely see a
continuation of the rain remaining just south of the area. Even with
a well defined disturbance because of that orientation (it is a
highly positively titled trough axis by early/midday Monday) hghts
actually appear to remain fairly unchanged. The best hght falls and
mid the mid lvl jet will ridge the northern Gulf. Still anticipate
some isolated to scattered light showers but overall the heaviest
rain looks to remain just off to our west and south.
This disturbance will likely lead to the development of a sfc low
over the northwestern Gulf this evening but how well defined and
strong it will be is uncertain. Some models are showing a small but
quickly developing well defined sfc low however, there appears to
be some feedback issue going on. This is also leading to rather
strong easterly winds developing over much of the coastal waters and
over a prolonged time frame. This seems a little aggressive
especially given how small this area of low pressure may be. The
bigger influence is likely the large broad sfc high building down
which will be centered over KY but it will stretch from the southern
Plains, south to the Gulf Coast, and east-southeast off the SC
coast. Now that is not to say that there is a sfc low that develops
just not as confident it will be as well defined or as deep as some
of the models show.
Temperatures will start to moderate tonight and Monday night however
highs both today and tomorrow will likely remain fairly similar with
h925 temps of 7-9C which should result in highs in the lower to mid
60s for much of the area both days. Lows will be a little warmer
tonight than they will be this morning thanks to the increase in
relative humidity and increasing winds. That said we will still see
lows in the lower 40s to lower 50s over much of the area. /CAB/
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Saturday night)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Medium range models from earlier today were in very good agreement
through the week however that is not what we would like to hear
because that will keep the dry weather pattern in place. It looks
like the next best chance for a system to bring rain may be late
next weekend or the beginning of Thanksgiving week. No major
disagreements with the NBM at this time so no adjustments have been
made.
As our disturbance continues to slide east and merge with the east
coast trough we will see mid lvl ridging build in. By Wednesday
morning the ridge will dominate the area from the TX coast northeast
across the Lower MS Valley and into the OH and TN Valley`s. This
will slowly moderate temps with highs climbing from the the lower
70s Tuesday to the mid upper 70s Wednesday and Thursday and maybe
even a few locations touching 80/81 by Friday. We will also see
moisture slowly creep up and thus morning lows will trend a degree
or 2 warmer each morning going from near 40 and lower 50s Tuesday
morning to 50s across the entire area Friday morning, maybe even a
few locations remaining in the lower 60s.
There will be a couple of disturbances coming out of the Pacific
across the 4 corners this week. These will all basically ride just
over the ridge into the central Plains and Mid MS Valley. The ridge
will become elongated from southwest to northeast eventually
stretching from the western Gulf to the Carolina`s but it will be
stubborn and keep all rain out of the area. As we head into weekend
the forecast is highly questionable as the models start to diverge
as they struggle with the numerous Pac systems coming towards the
region. This should eventually help lead to a more persistent west
coast trough and eastern coast ridge with southwest flow aloft and
hopefully some better rain potential. /CAB/

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
VFR conditions will continue at all terminals through today but
after 00z we may start to see some light rain try to move in from
the west and northwest. This will likely be well after which 00z
and probably closer to 6z right at the end of this TAF package.
The main terminal that could see impacts in this forecast would be
BTR as low cigs and light rain may just start to push in before
6z. In addition MSY could see some light rain just before 12z
Monday. Other than that expect the current northerly winds we have
to become more easterly today and tonight. /CAB/
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Winds continue to persist around 15-20 kt over most of the
coastal waters. This supports Small Craft Exercise Caution
headlines however a more impactful period of hazardous marine
conditions looks likely late Sunday and continuing through at
least the middle of next week. The approaching disturbance will
support the development of a surface low over the northwestern
Gulf. Combine that with high pressure building south and we will
see a tightening of the pressure gradient over the northern Gulf.
Sustained winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 6 to 10 feet will be
possible across the open Gulf waters Monday, with higher gusts
potentially approaching or exceeding gale force. How strong a
surface low develops is in question as there may be some
convective feedback leading a deeper surface lown than what may
actually occur and thus we will keep the Gale Watch out for now.
A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all other marine areas
due to the forecast persistent pressure gradient between the
surface low and high pressure to the north. May not see much
appreciable relief until the end of next week. /CAB/

to the south of the low. These ML/UL dynamics are also helping to
foment LL cyclogenesis, with a developing sfc low over NW Texas
(south of the Panhandle). Meanwhile, a rather cold sfc high is
drifting southeastward over the Mississippi River Valley. Colder
dense air from the east is advecting westward towards the low, and
enhancing a temperature gradient across the Lone Star State. The
sfc low will track southeastward Sunday, roughly parallel to the
temperature gradient. To the north of the low`s associated warm
front, one can expect widespread light to moderate showers, with
some embedded heavier showers and thunderstorms. But those south
of the warm front will find themselves in the system`s warm
sector, where high atmospheric buoyancy coupled with a strongly
sheered and veering vertical wind profile will set the stage for
stronger thunderstorms. As discussed in my discussion yesterday,
there was some uncertainty regarding the exact placement of these
boundaries and the overall extent of the warm sector over our CWA.
But today, it appears there is increasing confidence that the
warm front will be more suppressed southward, limiting the warm
sector zones to the coast (especially near Matagorda Bay) and the
offshore Gulf waters.
Through the early morning hours on Sunday, the highest chance of
showers will be across our western counties. There is a risk
strong to severe thunderstorms in the vicinity of Matagorda Bay
overnight into Sunday morning. Already, we have observed discrete
supercells offshore the Coastal Bend this evening, with some
"side lobe-y" looking cells offshore of Matagorda. Therefore, I am
not going to be surprised if we manage to see a few waterspouts
in our Gulf waters in the vicinity of Matagorda before most people
wake up on Sunday. We also cannot rule out a tornado in this area
either. Rain and thunderstorm coverage should generally increase
over our region later this morning and into the afternoon. With
trends pointing towards a farther south warm front, it`s quite
possible that most (maybe all) areas north of I-10 will hold in
the 50s all day. There`s even some hi-res guidance suggesting our
northern zones could drop into the 40s by late afternoon. There
will likely be a steep temperature gradient south of I-10. The
warmest parts of our CWA (coastal areas of Brazoria, Matagorda,
and Jackson Counties) could top out in the 70s.
The highest risk of heavy rainfall capable of flooding will be
near the coast. However, locally heavy rainfall capable of
localized flooding cannot be ruled out farther inland. Widespread
totals of 1-2 inches are expected inland, while coastal areas are
forecast to average in the 2-4 inch range. Locally much heavier
totals are likely at the coast, with some spots possibly receiving
over 6 inches of rainfall. The highest rainfall rates are still
expected to peak 2-3"/ per hour near the coast. Therefore, flash
flooding is a concern.
Rain and thunderstorms are not the only hazards associated with
this system. Strong, gusty coastal and marine winds will continue
through Monday. There is even a Gale Warning in effect for the
majority of our marine zones for later today into Monday. Please
see the marine discussion for more details.
Colder air should push southward towards the coast as the low
exits offshore, resulting in breezy and chilly conditions Sunday
night. Lows are expected to be in the 40s north of I-10, with low
to mid 50s farther south. Yesterday, Monday was appearing murky
and quite chilly. Today, there`s increasing uncertainty regarding
how murky it will be on Monday. Some of the guidance is suggesting
a shorter isentropic lift period and more dry air than initially
expected, opening the door to breaking clouds and more sunshine.
If the sun breaks out by early/mid afternoon, then we may make a
run for the 60 degree mark. But if clouds prove more resilient,
then I could see us struggling to warm past the mid 50s. Monday
night will be chilly, with widespread lows in the 40s. Areas near
the coast and within the heart of Houston`s urban heat island may
remain in the 50s.
We still anticipate a warming trend beyond Monday. By Wednesday
and Thursday, most of the region is expected to be in the 70s.
Couldn`t rule out a few locations reaching 80 by week`s end.

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 401 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
The first cool snap of the season is finally here! Surface and
satellite observations show a dry, cool air mass overspreading the
entire southeastern United States today as high pressure builds,
while a cold front lingers across the Florida Straits. The
interaction between the two surface features have helped maintain a
breezy northerly surface flow across South Florida, which has
aided in the cooling sensation this morning. In fact, temperatures
across the Florida peninsula have struggled to peak past the
upper 60s, while dew points have remained in the 30s and 40s,
indicative of the influence of the dry air advection over the
region. With this setup in place, expect the cool, breezy and
sunny conditions to prevail for the rest of the day, with zero
chances for rainfall and barely any cloud coverage to speak of.
Overnight temperatures will also remain chilly, dropping into the
upper 50s along the coasts, and low 50s across the interior,
The lingering cold front should finally fizzle out by tomorrow,
allowing the surface high to continue building south across our
area. As a result, winds will gradually shift from the east-
northeast, advecting some slightly moister, warmer air over the
area. Temperatures might still remain below average, peaking in
the mid to upper 70s, but subsidence and dry air associated with
the high pressure area will help keep rain chances to a minimum.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 401 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
The dry and cool post-frontal conditions seen this weekend will
gradually warm and moisten toward the start of next week. A broad
surface high over the eastern United States will veer winds to a
more northeasterly flow, advecting warm moist air from the
Atlantic waters. Thanks to this influx of moisture, temperatures
and dewpoints will begin to climb going into early next week. High
temps in the upper 70s to low 80s will return along with
dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Heading into the middle of next week, a northern jet appears to set
up aloft across North Florida. This jet could pull along with it a
shortwave trough that is forecast to develop over the southern
Plains, resulting in an increase in PoPs and surface winds for parts
of SoFlo. Guidance agrees on the eastward propagation of this
mid-level shortwave feature approaching the Florida peninsula
around midweek. An associated surface low will develop and move
east along with the parent mid-level shortwave. As this low nears
Florida and interacts with the surface high settled over the
eastern CONUS, a gradual tightening the pressure gradient over the
SoFlo region will take place. Placement and intensity of the
surface low will depend on the strength and positioning of the
shortwave trough. Currently, GEFS, GEPS and EPS guidance suggest a
weaker and more southerly track for the shortwave, which would
push the associated surface low further south of the SoFlo region.
Further analysis of these ensemble systems show some split within
each model`s member envelope. The GEFS members appear split on
whether the surface low will develop over the Gulf or over the
coastal Carolina waters, which is also supported by the EPS
ensemble membership.
With all of these potential solutions to consider, uncertainty
regarding the resulting sensible weather across South Florida mid-to-
late next week remains high. What is more certain is that a tighter
pressure gradient will increase surface winds early next week,
particularly over coastal waters, calling for a gusty week ahead
with the potential for hazardous marine conditions. Higher rain
chances will be likely throughout the later half next week
regardless of the positioning of the surface low. Activity should
mostly be confined to the eastern metros as typical coastal
convergence sets up around mid-week. However, given the scenario
where the surface low sets up near the Carolinas rather than over
the eastern Gulf, increased coastal convergence and moisture
transport could increase rain chances.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry weather will persist for most of the
upcoming week. Below normal temperatures with frost and/or
freeze conditions are expected each night and early morning
through the middle of the upcoming week.
The mid/upper trough will deamplify, but linger across the
eastern U.S. through at least Tuesday, with the axis shifting
toward the east as a well amplified ridge extends from the Gulf
Coast across the OH Valley and into the Great Lakes region.
Moisture will remain very limited with this pattern, especially
with the surface high also helping to suppress any return flow
through the upcoming week. This period of dry weather will add
to the rainfall deficiencies the area has experienced so far
this year. ILM`s departure from normal is more than 11 inches,
Florence and Lumberton more than 10 inches, and more than 20
inches in the Myrtle Beach area!
In addition to the dry conditions, the swath of cold air
supported by high pressure over the MS valley will result in
freezing temperatures early this morning. Coastal areas are
expected to be slightly warmer, but will experience areas of
frost, especially away from the beaches. As a result, the inland
Freeze Warning and coastal Frost Advisory remain in effect until
9 AM EST this morning. Frost looks likely again tonight into
early Monday morning, with a few spots reaching freezing again.
Frost is a good bet late each night into the early morning,
especially inland areas through the middle of the upcoming week.
Temperatures climb above normal by about Thursday or so.

Updated 06z TAF/Aviation Discussion.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Frost and Freeze headlines are in effect for portions of
Eastern Virginia and Northeast North Carolina late tonight
through early tomorrow morning. Chilly weather continues through
Tuesday.
2) Temperatures show a gradual warming trend mid-
week through the weekend. Remaining dry.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
As of 650 PM EST Saturday...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Frost and Freeze headlines are in effect for portions of
Eastern Virginia and Northeast North Carolina late tonight
through early tomorrow morning. Chilly weather continues through
Tuesday.
Update: Based on the latest guidance, went ahead and replaced
the Frost Advisory with a Freeze Warning for Bertie, Gates, and
Suffolk. The Frost Advisory was expanded to include inland
Currituck, Virginia Beach, and York.
Previous Discussion: Temperatures that were at or below
freezing were observed across the Richmond metro and points
south resulting in the growing season being ended for portions
of interior southeast VA and northeast NC. The season was
already over for the piedmont west of Richmond. Frost Advisories
and Freeze Warnings will not be issued for these areas until
the season resumes in Spring 2027.
Early afternoon weather analysis indicates UL low pressure over New
England with a strong attending trough that dips down toward the
Gulf. The trough axis swinging through the Mid-Atlantic today has
triggered broken-overcast mid level cloud cover across much of
the local FA. At the sfc, high pressure over the Mississippi
River valley is trying to build east behind a sfc low that is
well offshore. NW winds are rather gusty as cold, dry air
continues to advect into the area. Wind gusts between 20-30mph
have been observed today. Latest temps are in the upper 40s
across the far north and in the low 50s elsewhere. NBM bias
correction has been a little overzealous as of late with
overnight lows, so did decide to go a few degrees warmer than
the NBM for the forecast. Nevertheless, clearing skies and
lighter winds will still allow temps to drop to near or below
freezing away from the immediate coast. The Eastern Shore will
face lingering cloud cover and winds of 5-10kt, so lows around
40 forecast there. Widespread frost is expected for areas away
from the immediate coast (excluding the Eastern Shore). A Frost
Advisory has been issued for late tonight and early tomorrow
morning for interior portions of eastern VA and northeast NC
where the growing season has not technically ended.
Tomorrow and Monday will be quite similar to today as the overall as
the pattern will be slow to change. High pressure will slowly slide
east and the UL will gradually weaken. Highs will be in the 50s and
lows will be at or below freezing inland, mid-upper 30s at the
coast.
KEY MESSAGE 2... Temperatures show a gradual warming trend mid-
week through the weekend. Remaining dry.
High pressure remains largely in place through the end of the week.
Aloft, the trough looks to finally move offshore around mid week,
then a ridge builds in behind it. This will allow for a moderating
trend in temperatures through the weekend. Forecast highs are in the
mid 60s for Wednesday, then upper 60s Thurs-Sat. Lows will likely
still drop into the 30s each morning. With dry high pressure in
charge, there doesn`t look to be a relief from the dry spell anytime
soon.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1245 AM EST Sunday...
VFR conditions across area terminals early this morning prevail
through the 06z/15 TAF period. Clouds have scattered out largely
as expected, as high pressure builds into the region. A mainly
clear sky is expected over the area through mid-morning, when
clouds begin to increase again due to the NW flow and the
persistent upper low over the eastern seaboard. CIGs remain in
VFR range, but become BKN once again for a majority of the area
by early to mid afternoon (bases ~5 to 7 kft AGL). Winds remain
light early this morning, but become gusty (~20 knots) again by
late morning into this afternoon.
Outlook: VFR conditions are favored through midweek, as high
pressure builds over the region. Gusty NW winds, gradually
diminishing tonight through Monday.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 205 PM EST Saturday...
Key Messages:
- Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for all local waters.
- High pressure builds into the region Sunday afternoon through at
least mid week with sub-advisory conditions expected.
Surface low pressure is now well offshore with high pressure noted
over the Mississippi Valley. NW flow between these features remains
elevated this afternoon with winds 15-25 kt, gusting 25-30 kt. Waves
are 2-4 ft in the Ches Bay with seas 4-7 ft nearshore and 6-9 ft in
the 20-60nm zones.
SCA headlines remain in effect for all local waters this afternoon.
Slow improvement is expected over the next 24 hours with SCAs ending
in the rivers and Currituck Sound this evening. Headlines in the bay
and ocean continue overnight. Small Craft Advisories in the bay are
currently set to expire early Sunday afternoon with the latest
guidance showing winds falling below SCA thresholds. However, an
additional weak CAA surge could result in another period of marginal
SCA conditions late Sunday afternoon into the evening hours, but
confidence is too low to extend SCAs in the bay at this time. Strong
high pressure builds into the region Sunday evening and well into
next week with benign marine conditions expected.

- Marine & Surf Zone Hazards Return Monday. Small Craft Advisory Late
Monday through Friday. High Risk for Rip Currents & Rough Surf
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Main Highlights through Tonight:
- Freezing temperatures inland SE GA, with frost potential over much
of SE GA this morning
After a frosty and chilly morning, temperatures will rise into the
60s area-wide today with mostly sunny skies as winds shift
northeasterly. Low temperatures Sunday night won`t be as cold, but
will drip into the upper 30s across portions of inland southeast
Georgia, and in the 40s for the rest of inland areas. Near the coast
and St. Johns river basin, lows will stay in the lower to mid 50s.
Some patchy frost will be possible early Monday morning over far
inland southeast Georgia.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Main Highlights This Period:
- Coastal Hazards Increase Monday Night & Tuesday
Persistent and strengthening high pressure will be the main synoptic
feature for the short term period, as the high center slowly shifts
more towards our north as compared to the northwest. The second
feature will be a shortwave trough moving eastward across the
northern Gulf of Monday, moving across our region Monday Night and
Tuesday.
After a mostly dry but cloudy Monday, chances for showers
increase near the coast and south/eastern areas Monday Night and
through Tuesday as the upper level energy induces a weak inverted
trough to form east of the Florida peninsula and therefore
tightening the pressure gradient, setting up another northeasterly
wind event. The good news is our astronomical tide cycle is
generally approaching a new moon, and therefore little to no tidal
flooding impacts are expected. However, continuous modest onshore
flow will return elevated rip current potential as well as rough
surf at area beaches (especially northeast FL beaches). High temps
will top out in the 60s to low 70s each day, with Monday being
towards the lower end thanks to the increase in cloud cover. There
will be quite the gradient with mornings lows both Monday and
Tuesday Morning thanks to the onshore flow, as interior GA and parts
of the Upper Suwannee River Valley will see lows mainly in the 40s,
quickly trending towards the 50s to near 60 further south and east.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Main Highlights This Period:
- Increasing Coastal and Marine Hazards
Persistent northeast to east surface winds dominate Tuesday through
Thursday as strong high pressure remains to the north and inverted
troughing persists east of the area. There is also potential for a
surface low forming toward the southeast Bahamas late week that
tracks northeastward, though this would likely be non tropical in
nature as a result of the aforementioned upper trough/low.
Regardless, effects from this trough/low would essentially only
maintain the enhanced pressure gradient across the area through mid
week.
Not much of a threat of coastal flooding with this next event since
we between full and new moon phases. Similar to what was mentioned
in the short term, the setup will mainly drive hazardous marine
conditions for the Atlantic coast, including rough surf, high rip
current risk and dangerous marine conditions for boaters. Elevated
rain chances will persist for the coastal northeast FL area mid to
late week, with the potential for occasional heavier downpours for
Flagler and St Johns counties. High pressure starts to break down
towards next weekend.
Temperatures overall trend near average mid week before leaning
above normal late week and the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
VFR conditions to prevail this TAF period. Winds will become more
northeasterly by Sunday afternoon.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure will build toward the northwest this weekend. The
high will become centered more to the north early next week,
with weak troughing developing over the coastal waters. This
pattern will then persist through much of the upcoming week.
Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected to begin late
Monday, then continue through the week.
Rip Currents: SE GA: Low through Sunday. NE FL: Moderate Sunday. Rip
currents will trend toward a high risk early next week, and
continuing through the week.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Cool and dry conditions are expected to generally moderate over the
next few days as onshore flow remains persistent. This will
especially be the case Monday and into Tuesday as the flow
strengthens a bit, with chances for showers as well over south and
east areas. Dispersions will remain in the fair to good range
overall daily through Tuesday, despite more cloud cover for most.
Northeasterly flow then looks to continue into mid week, with little
change in the pattern expected through at least late week.
FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER WEATHER REMARKS: Significant fog is not
expected through the weekend. Patchy frost will be possible over far
inland southeast GA early Sunday.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 255 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
Currently-Tonight... KMLB radar imagery shows dry weather across
east central Florida. GOES-19 satellite imagery and local
observations indicate mostly to partly sunny skies. Temperatures
are currently in the low to upper 60s with dew points in the low
30s to mid 40s. Winds are from the north at 5-15mph with gusts to
20-25mph. Analysis charts show expansive high pressure to the
north of east central Florida (~1029mb) building over the central
CONUS to the Midwest. Dry weather is expected tonight. Expect
another cold night with low temperatures in the low to upper 40s
along and north of I-4 and the upper 40s to mid 50s to the south.
Apparent temperatures will be close to cold weather shelter
thresholds but are expected to stay just at or above 40F north of
I-4 with the low to upper 40s inland north and west of the
Treasure Coast, as well as in the near the coast north of
Titusville. The mid 40s to mid 50s are forecast elsewhere. There
is a 0-50% chance for apparent temperatures to reach 40F or
below, 0-30% for portions of Orange, 0-30% for portions of Lake,
and 0-20% for portions of Volusia county. If the aforementioned
criteria is met, then the apparent temperature threshold is
likely to only occur for approximately 1-2 hours.
Sunday-Monday... The dry weather is expected to persist through
the weekend as high pressure builds to the north over the eastern
CONUS. Rain chances increase over the local Atlantic waters and
near the coast into the workweek as onshore flow develops, as well
as an upper level trough deepens to the northwest of east central
Florida over the Deep South. Below normal temperatures are
expected with highs in the low to upper 70s, as well as lows in
the low to mid 50s north of I-4 and the mid 50s to mid 60s to the
south.
Tuesday-Friday... Guidance has come into better agreement with the
mid to long term forecast. There are still some differences in the
strength of a trough/low that is forecast to track northeast over
the western Atlantic and how close the trough/low gets to the
eastern Florida coast which would make a difference on the level
of coastal and marine impacts east central Florida is expected to
experience mid to late week, as well as available moisture for
east central Florida. The LREF-clusters are in fairly good
agreement on the associated 500mb trough deepening over the state
of Florida, in addition to the northern Florida and east central
Florida Atlantic waters. Regardless, rain chances are expected to
increase on Tuesday with scattered to numerous showers and a low
chance of lightning. Rain chances are expected to remain above
normal each day through the end of the workweek. Additionally,
breezy to potentially windy conditions are forecast each day, as
well as a coastal and marine impacts. Temperatures are forecast to
be seasonable for highs and seasonable to below normal for lows.

Currently-Tonight... Favorable boating conditions and dry weather
are forecast through tonight with high pressure to the northwest.
North winds at 15-20kts are forecast to weaken tonight to
10-15kts. Seas to 2-4ft nearshore and 5-6ft offshore are forecast
to diminish to 2-4ft tonight. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution
across the Treasure Coast offshore waters.
Sunday-Wednesday... Favorable boating conditions are expected to
deteriorate on Monday and through midweek. Onshore moving
isolated to scattered showers are forecast on Monday before rain
chances increase Tuesday and Wednesday with scattered to numerous
showers, as well as a low chance for lightning. Expect north-
northeast winds at 10-15kts on Sunday to shift east at 15-25kts
Monday and increase to 25-30kts on Wednesday. Seas to 2-4ft Sunday
are expected to increase 3-5ft with up to 6ft offshore and over
the Gulf Stream on Monday before increasing to 5-8ft Monday night
into Tuesday, and 7-11ft on Wednesday.

River flood warnings remain in effect for Cocoa (COCF1), Geneva
(GENF1), and Astor (ASTF1) on the St. Johns. The river west of
Cocoa is in Major Flood Stage but appears to be cresting and is
now forecast to begin a slow decline next week. The other points
(Deland and Sanford) are forecast to remain in Action stage which
is below Minor flood stage. River forecasts out five days are
issued twice daily by the NWS Southeast River Forecast Center in

- Another round of freezing temperatures is expected across
northern portions of the area tonight, with frost possible
across much of the remainder of the area away from the
immediate coast.
- Strong easterly winds develop over the marine area Monday,
resulting in a High Risk of rip currents and potentially
hazardous surf conditions through midweek.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1134 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
An eastern states upper trof mostly moves off into the western
Atlantic through Monday, but in the process absorbs a system from
the south central states. The result of this will be an upper
trof progressing into the forecast area on Monday which then
gradually moves off into the western Atlantic as upper ridging
builds into the eastern states. A surface ridge remains over the
forecast region through Friday, and am anticipating dry conditions
to prevail through the period except for a few possible sprinkles
near the coast on Monday as the upper trof moves across the area.
A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 8 am Sunday morning well
inland with a Frost Advisory for most of the remainder of the area
north of the immediate coast. Overnight lows range from the lower
30s well inland to around 40 at the coast. Lows Sunday night and
Monday night generally range from the lower/mid 30s well inland
to the mid 40s at the coast, and it`s possible that a light freeze
could occur each night over the northern periphery of the area.
Highs on Sunday range from around 60 to the mid 60s, then Monday
will be a bit cooler and range from the upper 50s to lower 60s. A
warming trend follows for the rest of the week, with highs warming
to the mid 70s for Thursday and Friday, and lows trending by
Thursday night to range from the lower 40s well inland to the mid
50s at the coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through
Sunday then trends to a High Risk Monday into Monday night which
continues through Wednesday. /29

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Overcast conditions the rest of today give way to mostly
sunny and breezy conditions on Sunday. Temperatures slightly
cooler than normal through this weekend.
- Prolonged period of dry and quiet weather, with moderating
temperatures next week, yielding mild afternoons and cool
nights.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Overcast conditions the rest of today give way
to mostly sunny and breezy conditions on Sunday. Temperatures
slightly cooler than normal through this weekend.
Skies have trended toward mostly cloudy/overcast conditions with
modest NW breezes, in response to a rather potent shortwave
disturbance aloft seen on satellite imagery circulating near
Montreal. While currently dry, there are a number of light but non-
trace 1-hourly QPF amts being reported by METARs in northern New
England; while dry weather generally prevails, a sprinkle or light
shower are possible as this shortwave disturbance moves southward
through Southern New England late this afternoon into early tonight.
Any additional diurnal warming looks minimal today with the cloud
cover and northerly breezes, in the upper 30s to the mid 40s! Early
cloud cover and northwest breezes will keep temps from really
dropping quickly, but decreasing clouds after midnight should bring
lows down to the upper 20s to mid/upper 30s.
We do expect there to be more sunshine on Sunday compared to today,
although low-level thermal profiles still are rather cool. This
should support better mixing with northwest gusts in the 20 to 25
mph range, which will add a bit of a chill despite sunny conditions.
Expect highs in the mid to upper 40s, but it will feel closer to the
mid-30s if you`re doing any hikes in the higher terrain.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Prolonged period of dry and quiet weather, with
moderating temperatures next week, yielding mild afternoons and
cool nights.
All guidance, including AI models, have large amplitude central US
ridge this weekend slowly advecting to the East Coast next week.
Hence, a prolong stretch of dry weather for SNE. Regarding
temperatures, chilly to begin the week Monday, but height rises
aloft will support warming temps and with surface high setting up
across the OH Valley to the Mid Atlantic region, this will place SNE
in a warming WNW flow. Given this setup, wouldn`t be surprised if
forecast highs overachieve into the mid 60s in the Wed-Fri
timeframe! Thus, the temp theme next week will be cool highs in the
upper 40s and lower 50s Monday, jumping into the 60s mid to late
next week. These temps are about 10-15 degs warmer than normal for
mid Nov.
Dew pts in the 30s along with light winds, will result in a large
diurnal temp spread, with seasonably cool nights, as lows dip into
the 30s for most locations. The mild daytime temps likely linger
into Fri, before a dry cold front moves across the region Fri/Sat.
Ensembles suggest not much of a post frontal airmass change, with
highs only cooling back to seasonal levels, with highs in the 50s.
Hence, mild days and cool nights will be the theme for much of next
week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This Evening through Sunday)
Issued at 219 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
Afternoon satellite and surface observations show a very dry
(Precipitable Water < 0.3") post-frontal airmass brought about by
broad upper troughing across the Eastern CONUS. Surface high
pressure is anchored over the Midwest down to the Lower MS Valley.
Our proximity to this High should allow winds to slacken tonight
and set the stage for favorable radiational cooling.
Temperatures will respond by tumbling into the low-mid-30s away
from the Emerald Coast. Some mid-to-upper clouds moving in from
the west late tonight into early tomorrow morning may interrupt
the process, but we are confident enough in portions of the AL
Wiregrass into the Flint River Valley experiencing their first
(light) freeze of the season beforehand. The inherited Freeze
Warning from the overnight shift was expanded in area to now
include Lee-Dougherty-Mitchell- Baker-Miller County, GA.
The environment is also more supportive of frost development
across most inland locations. These overall cold conditions are
impactful to sensitive vegetation and vulnerable people. High
temperatures rebound into the 60s Sunday afternoon under a mix of
sun and clouds.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 219 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
A gradual warming trend gets underway starting Tuesday when well-
defined upper ridging builds over the region. Prior to ridge`s
arrival, a tight pressure gradient develops between strong high
pressure over the OH/TN Valley and a Gulf Low skirting offshore
from the Northern Gulf Coast. This temporary pattern yields
abundant cloud cover with moist SW flow just above the surface
overriding shallow cool NE flow on Monday.
Monday is shaping up to be raw/gloomy with highs forecast to
range from the upper 50s to mid 60s for most of the Tri-State
area. Some light showers/rain/drizzle may also pass through, but
little to no accumulation is expected as the axis of greatest
precipitation should remain offshore. Overall dry weather prevails
this period. Tuesday`s high temperatures rebound to the 60s, then
increase to the 70s for the remainder of the work week. Lows in
the 40s will be more common away from the coast, then become more
mixed with 50s by mid- week.

.MARINE...
Issued at 219 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
An ASCAT pass at 1528Z showed NE winds 10-15 kts across our local
Gulf waters.
CWF Synopsis: Temporary favorable boating conditions prevail this
weekend thanks to moderate to gentle northeast breezes. By
Monday, a tightening pressure gradient prompts northeast winds to
freshen, which then become strong on Tuesday. Occasional gale-
force gusts are possible during that time. Hazardous marine winds
and seas persist into next weekend.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 219 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
A cold and dry post-frontal airmass prevails the next 24-36 hrs
with winds gradually increasing out of the northeast late this
weekend into Monday. Near critically low RH is forecast over parts
of SE AL, SW GA, and the FL Big Bend Sunday afternoon, but light
winds and cool temperatures should preclude fire concerns.
Moisture gradually rebounds thereafter. Abundant cloud cover on
Monday yields highs ranging from the upper 50s to mid 60s for much
of the Tri-State area. There is a low chance of showers mainly
along/south of I-10, though any wetting rains are not expected.
Overall dry weather persists amidst a warming trend through this
upcoming week.
