  breezy northwest winds and critically low humidity values

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 205 PM EST Mon Feb 23 2026

Rest of Today-Tuesday...It's a brisk day across east central
Florida, with breezy northwesterly winds and gusts 20-30 mph.
Highs so far this afternoon remain in the 50s across the area,
even down to the Treasure Coast. A few record cool highs are
still under threat at Leesburg and Fort Pierce (see the Climate
section for more details).

Breezy conditions will diminish this evening. However, continued
winds 5-10 mph inland and 10-15 mph along the coast will
contribute to a wind chill threat overnight tonight. Clear skies
and low dew points in the 20s will allow overnight lows to fall
into the 30s area-wide overnight. A Freeze Warning remains in effect
for all but the Brevard barrier islands, areas east of I-95 south of
SR-528 in Brevard County through St Lucie County, and all of Martin
County. Lows in the Freeze Warning are forecast as low as near 30
degrees, with the exception of the Orlando metro which will likely
remain just above freezing. A few spots in coastal portions of
Brevard, Indian River, and St Lucie Counties, as well as inland
Martin County, could approach 32 degrees near sunrise. However, this
will likely be brief and confidence in seeing freezing temperatures
is too low to include in the Freeze Warning at this time. Instead,
all of east central Florida remains under a Cold Weather Advisory
due to wind chills 22-30 degrees. Residents and visitors are advised
to dress appropriately, practice space heater safety, bring pets
indoors, and protect sensitive plants.

Dry conditions persist through Tuesday, as high pressure builds
into the area. Northwest winds 5-10 mph in the morning will
slacken into the afternoon, as high pressure moves over the
peninsula. Temperatures will remain below normal, though slightly
higher than Monday afternoon. Highs are forecast in the upper 50s
to lower 60s. The proximity of the high will create favorable
radiational cooling conditions Tuesday night, with light winds and
clear skies. Temperatures falling into the 30s to lower 40s once
again look to remain just above freezing, with the exception of
normally cooler, rural locations. However, areas of frost are
forecast and Frost Advisories appear likely for much of the area.
So, residents will want to continue to protect sensitive
vegetation.

Wednesday-Thursday...After a frosty start on Wednesday, a warming
trend begins by Wednesday afternoon, as highs reach near normal in
the lower to mid-70s. High pressure drifts eastward across the
Florida peninsula through Thursday, continuing the dry conditions.
However, increasing southwesterly flow will begin to advect more
moisture into the area ahead of an approaching front on Thursday.
Thursday morning lows in the 40s warm into the upper 70s and lower
80s by the afternoon.

Friday-Monday...A pattern shift is forecast for this weekend, as a
cold front moves through the Southeast US and stalls near the
local area. Increased moisture will lead to the return of rain
chances by Friday, with scattered showers then remaining possible
for the weekend. Confidence in rainfall amounts remains low, but
this looks to be the best chance for widespread beneficial
rainfall in at least several weeks. A few lightning storms will
be possible with the presence of modest instability. High
temperatures in the 80s Friday will cool into the 70s across
coastal areas this weekend, due to increasing onshore flow.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 205 PM EST Mon Feb 23 2026

Hazardous boating conditions continue across the local Atlantic
waters through tonight, due to northwest winds 20-25 kts, though
seas up to 6-12 ft this afternoon will diminish to 6-9 ft by
sunrise. High pressure builds across the peninsula and into the
Atlantic through midweek, reducing wind speeds as they veer from
northwest to south and southwest and improving conditions.
However, poor boating conditions will linger into Tuesday night,
particularly in the Gulf Stream due to seas up to 6 ft. A front
then approaches late week and into the weekend, bringing
increasing chances for showers and a few storms as it stalls near
the area. A period of breezy offshore winds 15-20 kts is forecast
Thursday evening into Thursday night, especially offshore, as the
pressure gradient tightens.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFs)
Issued at 650 PM EST Mon Feb 23 2026

Just FEW035 at DAB due to a nearby wildfire with SKC elsewhere.
Right now, NW winds are gusting 15-20 mph but beginning to
subside.

SKC overnight as northwest winds begin to decrease. Light wind
turns onshore Tue. afternoon along the coast.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 645 PM EST Mon Feb 23 2026

A Red Flag Warning remains in effect through 7 PM, as critical fire
weather conditions linger. Breezy northwest winds combine with
Min RH values in the 20s to produce a heightened risk for wildfire
development and spread. As high pressure builds across the area
into mid-week, winds will reduce to around 5-10 mph through
Wednesday. However, very sensitive fire weather conditions will
persist due to continued critical in the min RH 20s and 30s and
drought.

By Thursday, southwest winds will begin to increase moisture ahead
of an approaching cold front. However, min RH looks to remain as
low as 35-45% for most areas and a tightening pressure gradient
will increase southwesterly winds to 10-15 mph. By Friday and into
the weekend, a stalled front will provide relief in the form of
increased moisture and rain chances, though a few lightning storms
will be possible.
