SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT SUN NOV 2 2025
THE PROGRESSIVE MID-LEVEL TROUGH THAT CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY AND
ADVECT SOUTHEASTWARD WILL SWING THROUGH THE CAROLINAS/GA REGION AND
INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BY MONDAY. OUT AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH,
MODEST MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL OCCUR AS SOUTH FLORIDA WILL BE IN THE
SW FLOW REGION AROUND THE MID-LEVEL LOW. THIS TYPICALLY WOULD FAVOR
RAIN CHANCES TO INCREASE BY A LARGER MARGIN, BUT THE COMBINATION OF
BOTH A LACK OF STRONG POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION (THE ONLY TRUE
LIFTING MECHANISM FOR TODAY) AND A ROBUST DRY AIR COLUMN ABOVE THE
700-800MB HEIGHT LEVEL LEADS TO A MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT AND THUS A
LESS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR RAIN. WITH THAT SAID, ENOUGH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL EXIST FROM THE LOW-LEVEL SW FLOW MOISTURE
ADVECTION THAT WE COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS
ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY, PARTICULARLY FOR THE ATLANTIC COAST WHERE
CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED. THEREFORE, POPS ARE GENERALLY 20% FOR THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION TODAY AND AROUND 10-15% FOR THE WESTERN
HALF.
ON MONDAY, A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH TOWARDS THE REGION AND
EVENTUALLY PUSH THROUGH HEADING INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THIS BOUNDARY
WILL PROVIDE A STRONGER LIFTING MECHANISM, WHICH WILL INCREASE
INSTABILITY AND POTENTIALLY GIVE A BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS.
HOWEVER, AN EXPANSIVE SURFACE RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WILL
ACT TO SUPPRESS THIS AND ONCE AGAIN LIMIT ACTIVITY TO SOME ISOLATED
SHOWERS.
OVERALL, WHILE THERE WILL BE SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS, NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED AND ANY SHOWERS SHOULD
BE BRIEF WITH LOW RAINFALL AMOUNTS. HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AND
TOMORROW ARE EXPECTED IN THE LOW TO MID 80S ACROSS THE REGION.
OVERNIGHT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW 60S WEST OF LAKE
O TO THE MID AND UPPER 60S FOR THE INTERIOR AND NEAR THE COASTS.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT SUN NOV 2 2025
AS THE MAJORITY OF THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST LATE
INTO TUESDAY, THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OFFSHORE OF THE SOUTHEASTERN
UNITED STATES WILL ALSO PUSH TO THE NORTHEAST AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL PUSH THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA. WINDS WILL ENHANCE BEHIND THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MID-WEEK AS A PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH OF OUR AREA AND AN EXPANSIVE AREA
OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. INTERESTINGLY,
THE DETERMINISTIC GFS AND ECMWF AS WELL AS A FEW ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
INDICATE THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHERN LOBE OF MID-LEVEL VORTICITY
GETTING CUT-OFF FROM THE DEPARTING TROUGH AND RETROGRADING WESTWARD
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF DURING THIS TIME-FRAME. HOWEVER THE
EXTENDED PERIOD REMAINS QUIET OVERALL (OUTSIDE OF SOME OCCASIONAL
LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY FROM TIME TO TIME) UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK
AS SURFACE WINDS VEER MORE SOUTHEASTERLY IN RESPONSE TO ERODING
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE REGION.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 559 AM EST SUN NOV 2 2025
LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS THIS MORNING BECOMING E/NE AROUND 10 KTS
THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A WESTERLY GULF BREEZE AT APF. WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ACROSS THE EAST
COAST METRO.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT SUN NOV 2 2025
MOSTLY BENIGN CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS FOR
THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. A GENTLE TO LIGHTLY MODERATE BREEZE IS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS TODAY, WHICH WILL INCREASE TO A
MODERATE TO FRESH BREEZE ON MONDAY OUT OF THE NORTH/NORTHWEST AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA. SEAS WILL BE 2-3 FEET OR
LESS THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE INCREASING MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS
WINDS INCREASE WITH THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH. ADDITIONALLY, SEAS
RISE TO 4-7 FEET MONDAY NIGHT AND WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO MID-
WEEK. THEREFORE, CAUTIONARY TO HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN RETURN TODAY
AND MONDAY AS WELL.
BEACHES
ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT SUN NOV 2 2025
AN ELEVATED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MAY RETURN ALONG THE EAST COAST
THIS UPCOMING WEEK AS WINDS VEER TO A NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION AND
REMAIN ELEVATED. THIS WILL OCCUR IN TANDEM WITH THE NEXT KING TIDE
CYCLE WHICH MAY RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE EAST
COAST OF SOUTH FLORIDA DURING AND AROUND HIGH TIDE.
