AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 830 PM EST Fri Dec 12 2025

Some patchy late night/early morning is expected late tonight into Saturday morning, but most of this will remain away from the TAF sites. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through Saturday.
Light winds tonight will become east to southeast at 5 to 10 knots Saturday morning and then shift to onshore at TPA, PIE, and SRQ during the mid to late afternoon.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 139 PM EST Fri Dec 12 2025 High pressure remains over the region through today before shifting eastward this weekend as troughing deepens over the eastern half of the country and a frontal boundary moves into the southeast. This pattern shift will allow temperatures to warm into the mid/upper 70s (and even lower 80s in some spots) for both Saturday and Sunday afternoon while also pulling a warm front northward and bringing slight rain chances for the southern parts of the forecast area Saturday night. The next cold front will then push across the state late Sunday into Sunday night, with no rain expected. Cool and dry high pressure brings us a cooler start to the work week before a warming trend brings above normal temperatures for the rest of the week.

MARINE
Issued at 139 PM EST Fri Dec 12 2025 Light east to southeast winds will remain across the waters through much of the weekend before a frontal boundary moves through late Sunday. Winds behind the boundary will become north and then northeast late Sunday through Monday, increasing to advisory levels before diminishing Tuesday through the rest of the week.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 139 PM EST Fri Dec 12 2025 No fire weather concerns as relative humidity values will remain above critical levels. Some patchy fog is expected tonight, mainly over inland locations.
