DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 200 AM EST WED DEC 3 2025
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER THE PENINSULA THIS MORNING BETWEEN BROAD
TROUGHING ALOFT ENCOMPASSING MOST OF THE CONUS AND RIDGING FROM
THE FAR S GULF/NW CARIBBEAN INTO THE W ATLANTIC. A SURFACE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS SWFL AND WILL LIKELY
STALL AND REMAIN IN THE S FL/FL STRAITS VICINITY THROUGH LATE
WEEK. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES PROPAGATING EASTWARD ACROSS THE DEEP
SOUTH/SE U.S. THIS WEEKEND WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW
FRONTAL WAVES WHILE THE LINGERING SURFACE BOUNDARY LIFTS BACK
NORTH OVER THE PENINSULA LEADING TO INCREASING MOISTURE AND RAIN
CHANCES. WHILE RIDGING MAY HOLD JUST ENOUGH ON SATURDAY TO KEEP
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES CONFINED TO NORTHERN AND NATURE COAST
LOCATIONS, GUIDANCE INDICATES THE RIDGING SHIFTING E INTO THE
ATLANTIC ON SUNDAY AHEAD OF A MORE POTENT APPROACHING SHORTWAVE,
ALLOWING DEEPER MOISTURE TO ADVECT N/E OVER THE PENINSULA AHEAD OF
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY PUSHING BACK S/E ACROSS THE AREA LEADING TO
AREA WIDE SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES. COOLER DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO
THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE C/E U.S. FAVORING DRY CONDITIONS
AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPS ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA.
