...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER...
.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1202 AM EDT Fri Sep 19 2025 Surface high pressure to the north has built over west central and southwest Florida with drier air aloft advecting over the region. This will reduce the chance of showers/thunderstorms through the weekend with predominately dry very warm conditions expected each day.
Early next week, the area of high pressure will begin to retreat with boundary layer flow becoming east allowing deep layer moisture to push back over the forecast area...with an increasing chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highest pops will be over southwest Florida in region of best available deep layer moisture...with pops gradually decreasing from south to north. This pattern will hold through mid week.

.AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1202 AM EDT Fri Sep 19 2025 VFR conditions are expected for the remainder of tonight and on Friday with mostly clear skies through early morning...with some SCT LCL BKN250 over southwest Florida. Partly cloudy skies expected on Friday with generally SCT030-040 SCT250 at all terminals.

.MARINE... Issued at 1202 AM EDT Fri Sep 19 2025 Primarily east to northeast winds expected through early next week remaining below cautionary levels each day.

&&
.FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1202 AM EDT Fri Sep 19 2025 No fire weather hazards are expected as sufficient low level moisture will keep minimum afternoon relative humidity values above critical levels each day.
