...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER...

.KEY MESSAGES...

 - Hazardous marine conditions will continue into the weekend.

 - Drier and slightly cooler conditions are expected later this
   weekend into next week.

.DISCUSSION...
A cutoff low is over the southeast this afternoon while a surface
low tries to form near or just offshore the Florida east coast. A
breezy northeast wind flow continues across the area today, with
some showers and a few thunderstorms moving within this flow. For
tonight into Saturday, the low aloft will continue over the state
while the surface low starts to move up the eastern seaboard. There
will likely be a few showers Saturday afternoon as the low pulls
away, but overall coverage looks to be limited. High pressure then
builds in for Sunday into next week, with cooler and drier air
filtering into the region. Highs will still be in the mid to upper
80s, but lows will generally be in the 60s with lower dew points as
well. Overall, pretty pleasant conditions coming up.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 142 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
MVFR cigs linger across the region this afternoon, but a few hours
of VFR are still expected later today. A few showers and a small
chance for an isolated storm will be possible mainly for KLAL and
southwest Florida sites, but impacts should be limited. Another
round of low clouds with MVFR/IFR cigs is expected tonight into
Saturday before conditions improve in the afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 142 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
Breezy northeast winds will keep Small Craft Advisories in place for
the waters from Tampa Bay northward, with elevated winds continuing
through Saturday. Winds start to relax on Sunday and will then
remain below headlines through early next week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 142 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
Gusty northeast winds will continue across the region through
Saturday before diminishing. A few showers and an isolated storm are
expected tomorrow, then a cold front moves through, bringing drier
air over the region. Relative humidity values are expected to remain
above critical levels, however, with no Red Flag concerns. No
significant fog is expected.
