| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 616pm EST Sunday Dec 7 2025 .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 202pm EST Sunday Dec 7 2025 The adjustment to the ongoing forecast scenario is the push of a secondary frontal boundary on Monday, which also pushes the lingering decaying boundary over central Florida into SoFlo by Monday morning. Latest ensembles and NBM solutions show the main front finally pushing across SoFlo from early Monday morning through the afternoon hours. It should then reach the Florida Keys by Monday early evening, but this timing might be adjusted depending on the migration of the parent low system further north. For today, the aforementioned front/low activity will weaken the mid/uppr level ridging aloft, and allow for chances of rain to begin increasing from north to south starting later this afternoon and into the evening hours. Ahead of the front, prevailing S/SW flow will keep afternoon temperatures in the mid-upper 80s today. Latest model PWATs (Precipitable Waters) remain around 1.5 to 1.8 inches, with the bulk of the rain activity most likely happening between early morning and early afternoon on Monday. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible as the ridge aloft erodes and the air mass becomes more unstable. But overall thermodynamic parameters don't look too supportive for deep convection, as depicted by deterministic guidance like CAM. But a couple of strong to severe thunderstorms can't be rule out, especially during the late morning and early afternoon hours. Rainfall accumulations should remain below 1 inch for most of the area, but there is a 1 in 10 chances that some spots in the vicinity of Lake Okeechobee could get 1-2 inches of rain throughout the day on Monday. Long Term (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 1237am EST Sunday Dec 7 2025 Cooler, drier air is forecast to move over the area behind the front on Tuesday and high pressure will build over the southeast US and the Florida peninsula. This should help promote fair weather and dry conditions through the middle of the week. Temperatures on Tuesday morning will dip to the mid 50s across the interior and mid 60s along the East Coast, and will struggle to rise above the upper 70s in the afternoon. The next cold front to watch could make its approach late next week, although much uncertainty remains regarding timing and intensity, especially given the complex interactions at play over the continental US during this time period. Cluster analysis for days 5- 6 (Thursday-Friday) show generalized differences between the ECMWF, GEFS and GEPS ensemble members, with the European model generally favoring a slower and weaker trough (which would result in a weaker front and slower/later approach to our area), while the GEFS/GEPS split the difference in faster/stronger solutions with fewer ensemble members overall. For now, we're keeping the NBM forecast for increased moisture and low-end Probability of Precipitation (15-30%) starting Friday, but but we'll continue to monitor for any changes to the Marine Issued at 1237am EST Sunday Dec 7 2025 Generally benign boating conditions prevail over the weekend as light to moderate southerly to southwesterly breeze persists. Seas are forecast to remain at 1-3 feet across all local waters. As we head into next week, conditions could deteriorate as winds increase and veer from the north with a frontal passage.
