AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
229 PM EDT MON OCT 24 2011

.DISCUSSION...
AIR TEMPERATURES IN MOST FLORIDA KEYS ISLAND COMMUNITIES HAVE REACHED
80F EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SKIES RANGING FROM MOSTLY SUNNY IN
KEY WEST TO MOSTLY CLOUDY IN OCEAN REEF. LOCAL DOPPLER RADAR SCANS
SHOW RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS OVER THE SERVICE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF A FEW SMALL SHOWERS OVER THE GULF STREAM BETWEEN THE CAY SAL BANK
AND UPPER KEYS. AN UPPER-AIR COMPOSITE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK
BAROCLINIC ZONE AT LOW LEVELS FROM THE SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC EXTENDING
SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS AND CUBA TO THE YUCATAN
CHANNEL. FAIR WEATHER OVER MOST OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
INCLUDING THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND KEYS IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN
INTENSIFYING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CELL CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI DELTA. INTENSIFICATION IS BEING SUPPORTED BY GEOPOTENTIAL
HEIGHT RISES ASSOCIATED WITH A MIGRATORY SHORT-WAVE RIDGE.

A FAIR AND BREEZY WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FLORIDA KEYS
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH AIR TEMPERATURES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW AVERAGE AND LOW TO NIL RAIN CHANCES.

CLOUDINESS...RAIN...AND THUNDER CHANCES WILL GO UP DURING THE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY TIME FRAME AS THE LOCAL BOUNDARY
LAYER RE-ATTAINS MARITIME TROPICAL PROPERTIES...A WEAK LOWER-
TROPOSPHERIC CYCLONIC VORTICITY/CONVERGENCE ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH AN
OLD FRONTAL ZONE IN THE 925-700MB LAYER MOVES BACK WESTWARD OVER THE
KEYS...AND A FAVORABLE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER JET DEVELOPS OVER THE
EASTERN GULF BASIN AND FLORIDA PENINSULA. THEREAFTER...ANOTHER
CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE BUILDING OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. HOWEVER...IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW
FAR SOUTH ITS INFLUENCE WILL EXTEND AT THIS POINT AND WHETHER A COLD
FRONT WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE KEYS CLEANLY ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL GO INTO EFFECT TONIGHT FOR ALL ZONES AS
NORTH BREEZES BECOME FRESH. FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG NORTH TO
NORTHEAST BREEZES THEN ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS A HIGH
PRESSURE AREA EXPANDS NORTH OF THE KEYS. A BRIEF LULL IN WIND SPEEDS
IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS AN OLD FRONTAL ZONE APPROACHES THE
KEYS. HOWEVER...A NEW HIGH MAY BUILD AND FRESHEN BREEZES ONCE AGAIN
OVER THE WEEKEND.
&&

.AVIATION...
TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL AVERAGE NEAR 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OVER 20 KNOTS.
JUST A FEW CUMULUS AND STRATOCUMULUS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE ISLAND
TERMINALS...WITH BASES AOA 2000 AND 5000 FEET AGL RESPECTIVELY.
