Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Punta Gorda, FL

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.
