AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
955 PM EST SUN NOV 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
PALOMA CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF CUBA LATE
THIS EVENING. LOCAL BREEZES REMAIN FRESH OUT OF THE NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WITH LINGERING SMALL AND SHALLOW SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTHERN
ATLANTIC WATERS AT THIS TIME. BUT THESE ARE DIMINISHING QUITE
RAPIDLY. LATE EVENING SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE LAYERED CLOUDS ARE
FAVORING THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ISLAND CHAIN...BUT BREAKS ARE
BECOMING MORE PREVALENT OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS WELL AWAY FROM THE
UPPER KEYS THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MIDDLE 70S ALONG
THE ISLAND CHAIN WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MIDDLE 60S...WITH A MUCH
WEAKENED COLD FRONT DRAPED JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF OUR SERVICE AREA.

THE LATE EVENING LOCAL SOUNDING SHOWS DRIER AIR HAS DESCENDED
THROUGH THE MIDDLE LAYERS...AND SUPPORTS THE CUDJOE PROFILER WITH
FRESH BREEZES NOW EXTENDING ALMOST TO 5 KFT. WE EXPECT TO SEE THESE
BREEZES CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. SATELLITE SUGGESTS
THAT THE CLOUD COVERAGE WILL DIMINISH ENOUGH TO GO PARTLY CLOUDY
OVER THE ENTIRE STRETCH OF THE ISLAND CHAIN OVERNIGHT. AND THE
CHANCE OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS NOT WORTH A MENTION AT ANY
LOCATION. WILL RECOMBINE THE ENTIRE FLORIDA KEYS ON AN UPDATE TO
TAKE CARE OF THOSE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS.

&&

.MARINE...
ALL SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE POINTS TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER BREEZES OVER THE
ATLANTIC WATERS OVERNIGHT...TAPERED BACKED BY ABOUT 5 KNOTS OR SO AS
ONE MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN ZONES. EXPECT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
ON THE LATE EVENING MARINE UPDATE.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT AT THE ISLAND TERMINALS. VFR
BASED CEILINGS IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO WAFT IN
AND OUT OF EXISTENCE...BUT LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION OR
MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS. SURFACE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE OUT OF THE NORTH AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS AND GUSTY...ALL OF IT
GOING INTO THE CROSSWIND COMPONENT.

&&

.KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FL...NONE.
