Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for New Port Richey, FL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 118 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025 Broad troughing remains across the eastern part of the country this afternoon while a surface frontal boundary approaches north Florida.
This boundary will cross over the region later today, with gusty north to northeast winds taking hold as strong high pressure builds over the southeast. This will usher a cooler and drier air mass over the state, with low temperatures on Monday nearing freezing for parts of Levy County and 40s and 50s elsewhere. Additionally, the gusty winds will remain tonight, so wind chill values will be several degrees lower. The rest of the day will be pleasant but cool, with highs topping out in the upper 50s north to lower 70s south.

High pressure will quickly shift eastward, allowing winds to turn more easterly and bringing a warming trend through most of next week. Rain chances remain low overall, with the next chance coming next Friday into Saturday as another frontal boundary moves over the region.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 118 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025 Mainly VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period.

MARINE
Issued at 118 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025 Small Craft Advisories are in effect starting this afternoon/evening and continuing through midday Monday as winds increase out of the north to northeast following a cold front.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 118 PM EST Sun Dec 14 2025 A cold front will move through the region later today and tonight, bringing cooler and drier air over the region for the next couple of days. Relative humidity values will remain above critical levels, however, so there are no Red Flag concerns.
