AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
427 AM EDT WED OCT 19 2011

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
RADAR DETECTS THREE LINES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
SERVICE AREA...ONE DISSIPATING LINE EXTENDING FROM FLORIDA BAY
ACROSS THE UPPER KEYS INTO THE EASTERN FLORIDA STRAITS...A MUCH
STRONGER SQUALL LINE APPROACHING THE LOWER KEYS FROM THE GULF WATERS
AND WESTERN STRAITS...AND A THIRD LINE ENTERING OUR GULF WATERS WEST
OF THE DRY TORTUGAS. THIS ACTIVITY HAS EVOLVED INTO LINEAR FORMS
DURING THE NIGHT...AS OPPOSED TO THE MORE DISCRETE CELLS THAT WERE
OBSERVED DURING TUESDAY EVENING. KBYX VWP DATA SHOWS LOW LEVEL FLOW
SLOWLY VEERING TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST WITH TIME...BUT REMAINING QUITE
STRONG WITH ESTIMATED SPEEDS OF 35-40 KNOTS AT 2K TO 4K FEET. SKIES
REMAIN CLOUDY ACROSS THE REGION...WITH TEMPERATURES HOLDING IN THE
LOWER 80S WITHIN A VERY STRONG WARM ADVECTION PATTERN. WINDS HAVE
BEEN QUITE STRONG OVERNIGHT...WITH LAND STATIONS REPORTING SUSTAINED
SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND PEAK GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS EACH HOUR.

SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO...EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM A LOW CENTERED OVER
NORTH GEORGIA. A COLD FRONT IS RACING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF...
AND IS LOCATED ALONG A LINE FROM AAF TO BUOY 42003 TO JUST NORTHWEST
OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AS OF 4 AM. ALOFT...A DEEP MID LATITUDE
TROUGH IS LOCATED ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND CONTINUES TO
DIG INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. OVERNIGHT SOUNDINGS FROM MIAMI AND KEY
WEST SHOW A VERY MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINING IN
PLACE ACROSS OUR AREA...WITH PWATS NEAR 2.2 INCHES.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT OF THE SEASON WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
FLORIDA KEYS LATER TODAY. IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT...NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA WITHIN STRONG
SOUTHWEST FLOW AND ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE. THE THREAT FOR
TORNADOES HAS DECREASED...AND IN COORDINATION WITH SPC AND WFO MIAMI
HAVE DROPPED THE TORNADO WATCH. HOWEVER...STRONG WIND GUSTS IN THE 40
TO 50 MPH RANGE WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITHIN FAST MOVING LINES OF
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. ONE SUCH LINE IS BEARING DOWN ON THE LOWER KEYS AT THIS TIME.
HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS ALONG WITH MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS. FAST
MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD PRECLUDE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
TOTALS...ALTHOUGH INTENSE RAINFALL RATES WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR BRIEF
PERIODS. EVEN OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
AFFECT THE KEYS THROUGH MIDDAY...WITH SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO
30 MPH AND GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH. IT APPEARS THAT WINDS ON LAND SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

CONDITIONS SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN TO IMPROVE ACROSS THE KEYS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE FRONT CLEARING EAST OF OUR AREA EARLY THIS
EVENING. EXPECT NORTHWEST BREEZES TO PICK UP BEHIND THE FRONT DURING
THE EVENING...USHERING COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE KEYS. WARM WATER
TEMPS WILL KEEP LOWS FROM DROPPING TOO FAR...BUT STILL EXPECT TEMPS
BY MORNING IN THE LOWER 70S...NEAR 70 IN THE UPPER KEYS.

MAINLY DRY AND MUCH MORE PLEASANT POST-FRONTAL CONDITIONS SHOULD
PREVAIL ACROSS THE KEYS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD...AS CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD
MAINTAINS NORTHERLY FLOW OVER FLORIDA. ANY REMAINING MOISTURE WILL
BE SHALLOW AND WOULD NOT EXPECT ANYTHING MORE THAN ISOLATED SHOWERS.
SEE NO REASON TO ADJUST THE EXISTING DIME POPS. EXPECT THE COOLEST
TEMPERATURES OBSERVED IN THE KEYS SINCE MARCH...WITH HIGHS THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80...AND LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT
DROPPING TO AROUND 70 (EXCEPT MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE UPPER KEYS).

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...
CONTINUED MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGHING ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES WILL MAINTAIN
GENERALLY DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS FLORIDA THROUGH THE LONG TERM
PERIOD. SHALLOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL EVENTUALLY CREEP BACK INTO
THE KEYS AS THE FLOW VEERS TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST...BUT EXPECT
NOTHING MORE THAN ISOLATED SHOWERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH POPS NO
HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOUT 5 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...THEN SLOWLY CLIMB BACK
TOWARD NORMAL LEVELS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE ACROSS THE KEYS COASTAL WATERS...
WITH AVAILABLE C-MAN SITES REPORTING SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 25 TO 30
KNOTS...AND PEAK GUSTS NEAR OR JUST BELOW GALE FORCE. EXPECT SIMILAR
CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THIS MORNING...WITH A HIGH-END SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINING POSTED FOR ALL WATERS. FAST MOVING LINES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL POSE AN ADDITIONAL MARINE HAZARD...
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 KNOTS. WINDS SHOULD VEER TO
THE WEST/NORTHWEST FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...WITH FRESH NORTHWEST
BREEZES EXPECTED TONIGHT. CAUTION HEADLINES WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED
TONIGHT...WITH ADVISORIES POSSIBLE EITHER FOR WINDS OR FOR RESIDUAL
HIGH SEAS ACROSS THE STRAITS AND OFFSHORE GULF WATERS. A LARGE
NORTHWEST SWELL WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN STRAITS AND GULF WATERS
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...AND A SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED. OTHERWISE...MODERATE TO FRESH NORTHERLY BREEZES WILL
PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH
ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION...
PERIODS OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT EYW AND MTH THROUGH
16Z...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF SUB-IFR CONDITIONS AT
THE ISLAND TERMINALS AS A COUPLE OF LINES OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS RACES NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN
AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 30 TO
40 KNOTS FROM JUST OFF THE SURFACE UP TO 10000 FEET WILL CREATE
DANGEROUS CROSSWIND IMPACTS AT THE ISLAND TERMINALS THROUGH 16Z.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO A WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION BY 18Z...WITH
SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z AT EYW AND MTH.

&&

.PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
KEY WEST  85  73  79  70 / 70 20 10 10
MARATHON  85  72  79  69 / 70 20 10 10
