AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
345 PM EST THU NOV 24 2011

.DISCUSSION...IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...LATEST IR IMAGERY
OVERLAID WITH STREAMLINE ANALYSIS AS OF 200 PM DEPICT A TROUGH
BEGINNING TO LIFT OUT EAST OF THE THE NORTHEASTERN AND MIDDLE
ATLANTIC UNITED STATES. THERE IS LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGING OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY UPSTREAM OF THE DEPARTING TROUGH. EVEN FARTHER
UPSTREAM OF THAT FEATURE...THERE IS A SHARPENING YET NARROW FULL
LATITUDINAL TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE SIERRAS OF NEVADA AND
CALIFORNIA. TO THE SOUTH OF THAT...THE CENTER OF A DEEP AND WARM
ANTICYCLONE IS LOCATED OVER JAMAICA. SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE KEYS LIE
UNDERNEATH A NEARLY ZONAL (WEST TO EAST) 75 KNOT AT 250 MB SOUTHERN
BRANCH OF THE JET THAT SEPARATES THE CARIBBEAN RIDGING WITH THE
ABOVE FEATURES OVER THE CONUS.

AT THE SURFACE AND IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS...LATEST SATELLITE
IMAGERY OVERLAID WITH MARINE AND LAND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND
ANALYSIS AS OF 200 PM DETAIL A NEAR 1030 MB ANTICYCLONE THAT
STRETCHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. TO THE
SOUTH OF THAT...A SURFACE COOL FRONT IS POSITIONED FROM THE CENTRAL
BAHAMAS WESTWARD INTO THE FLORIDA STRAITS. DESPITE THE RIDGING TO
THE NORTH...THERE IS A SURFACE TO 850 MB TROUGH JUST TO THE NORTH OF
THE SURFACE FRONT. THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ONLY GENTLE
TO MODERATE WINDS...AND SLIGHTLY INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS OVER
FLORIDA BAY AND ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPPER KEYS...HAWK CHANNEL AND
THE ATLANTIC WATERS OUT 60 NM.

.CURRENTLY...AS OF 200 PM...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ON THIS TURKEY
DAY AFTERNOON YIELDS PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE
ISLANDS AND SURROUNDING WATERS. KEY WEST RADAR DOES DETECT ISOLATED
SHOWERS OF MODERATE RAINFALL AFFECTING FLORIDA BAY...THE UPPER
KEYS...HAWK CHANNEL...AND THE ATLANTIC WATERS OUT 60 NM. THE
PRESENCE OF THE TROUGH HAS ALLOWED FOR NORTHEAST WINDS ALONG THE
REEF TO BE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KNOTS...WITH NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS
NEAR 10 MPH OVER THE ISLAND CHAIN...EXCEPT HIGHER WINDS IN AND NEAR
THESE SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED THE UPPER 70S WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE MIDDLE 60S.

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MID-LEVEL RIDGING...AVERAGING
BETWEEN 583-585 DECAMETERS AT 500 MB WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA AND THE FLORIDA KEYS...INTRODUCING DRIER AIR BACK INTO THE
MID-LEVELS THIS EVENING...SCOURING OUT THE TROUGH EVIDENT IN THE
LOWER LEVELS AT ABOUT 850 MB. THE MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWER COVERAGE
NOW OCCURRING SHOULD BE ERASED AS THE DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED THIS
EVENING. THE STRONG SURFACE RIDGING NOW MOVING THROUGH THE MID-SOUTH
WILL REACH THE CAROLINA OUTER BANKS BY TOMORROW SUNSET...REMAINING
NEAR 1025 MB AS THE CENTER OF THE RIDGING SLIDES INTO THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY...THEN DEPARTS WELL EAST OF THE CAROLINAS ON
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE ISLANDS...AND BREEZY TO LOCALLY
WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SURROUNDING WATERS...WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS REMAINING OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS. DAYTIME HIGH AND OVERNIGHT
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL NOT STRAY MORE THAN A FEW DEGREES FROM
SEASONABLE AVERAGES...BUT DEWPOINTS NEAR 60 WILL KEEP IDEAL COMFORT
LEVELS IN PLACE. 12Z NAM AND GFS MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS ILLUSTRATE
PWAT FALLING TO 1.25 INCHES AFTER MIDNIGHT AND UNDER ONE INCH FRIDAY
MORNING...BETWEEN .75 TO 1.00 INCHES FROM FRIDAY TO SUNDAY. DESPITE
THE DRIER AIR...WILL REINTRODUCE AN ISOLATED SHOWER ACROSS ALL
WATERS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. REASON FOR THIS
IS A FRESH TO STRONG NORTHEAST EASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWER LEVELS
WHICH WILL BRING SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE GIVEN THE FLUXES
OF THE NEAR SURFACE AIR SEA INTERACTIONS INVOLVING COOL AIR OVER THE
WARM GULF STREAM WATERS.

EXTENDED...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
REMAIN ON THE LATEST 12Z RUN WITH REGARDS TO THE STRENGTH AND
LOCATION OF A WELL ALIGNED MID AND UPPER CYCLONE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE NEXT FULL LATITUDINAL TROUGH WHICH DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN CONUS. THE GFS DEVELOPS A MUCH COLDER 500 MB LOW NEAR THE
GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY...WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF DEVELOPS A WEAKER ND
WARMER 500 MB LOW CENTER NEAR THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST ON MONDAY
MORNING...WHICH BECOMES CUT OFF IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM. THE 12Z
RUN OF THE ECMWF NOW ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT THIS UPPER LOW ACTUALLY
MOVES VERY SLOWLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY. DESPITE THE TIMING DIFFERENCES THE INTRODUCTION OF
MID-LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE AREA WOULD KEEP
THE BEST DYNAMICS NORTH OF THE KEYS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES...BUT THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LOWER LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO ALLOW
FOR AT LEAST A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS TO MOVE ACROSS THE KEYS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FRONT. AT THIS POINT WILL STILL NEED TO CARRY
20 PERCENT FROM SUNDAY UNTIL AT LEAST TUESDAY NIGHT...GIVEN THAT
THE ECMWF HOLD BACK MOISTURE AND LIFT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD
FRONT. THE OTHER STORY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD FRONT WILL BE
THE INTRODUCTION OF NOTICEABLY COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS...WITH HI
AND LOW TEMPERATURES FALLING ABOUT 5 TO 7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
STILL HAVE NOT DROPPED MAXIMA AND MINIMA DOWN AS FAR AS THE MEX
GUIDANCE GIVEN THAT I AM NOT BUYING COMPLETELY INTO THE GFS SOLUTION
ATTM. BUT HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 70 MAY OCCUR ON MONDAY...MOST
LIKELY ON TUESDAY...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 60 DEGREES...IF NOT
INTO THE 50S IN THE UPPER KEYS. SLOW MODERATION IN HIGH TEMPERATURES
WOULD OCCUR FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S.

&&

.MARINE...STRONG RIDGING WILL REASSERT THE LOCAL GRADIENT AROUND
SUNSET THIS EVENING...AS THE PRESENCE OF THE TROUGH WILL NO LONGER
BE A FACTOR IN THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN THE WINDS. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL BE HOISTED ACROSS ALL WATERS FOR TONIGHT THROUGH
AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT...AND REMAIN ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS ON
SATURDAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL ONLY SLOWLY LET DOWN SATURDAY NIGHT
WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ADVISORY REMAINING IN PLACE FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS. CONFIDENCE WITH REGARD TO TIMING ON THE NEXT COLD FRONT
REMAINS LESS THAN DESIRABLE. GIVEN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS
PRESENTED...ELEVATED WINDS AND SEAS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE A GOOD
POSSIBILITY ON MONDAY PER THE GFS BUT AN ADVISORY WOULD BE MORE
LIKELY ON TUESDAY ON ALL WATERS. HAVE ALREADY INCLUDED THE HIGHER
WINDS AND SEAS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT EYW AND MTH THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH AT
LEAST FRIDAY MORNING. SUSTAINED NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS NEAR 15
KNOTS FROM JUST OFF THE SURFACE TO ABOUT 3000 FEET WILL BECOME
NORTHEAST AND INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS AFTER 700 PM.

&&

.CLIMATE...
SINCE APRIL 1ST...THE AVERAGE LOW TEMPERATURE AT KEY WEST
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS BEEN 78.3 DEGREES. THIS IS THE WARMEST
AVERAGE MINIMUM TEMPERATURE IN KEY WEST DURING THESE DATES SINCE
TEMPERATURE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1872. THE PRIOR WARMEST AVERAGE LOW
TEMPERATURE DURING THE 237-DAY STRETCH FROM APRIL 1ST THROUGH
NOVEMBER 23RD IN KEY WEST WAS 78.1 DEGREES IN 2007.

SINCE JANUARY 1ST...THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AT THE FLORIDA KEYS
MARATHON AIRPORT HAS BEEN 80.1 DEGREES. THIS IS THE SECOND WARMEST
START TO A CALENDAR YEAR SINCE RECORDS FOR THE MIDDLE KEYS BEGAN IN
1982. THE WARMEST AVERAGE TEMPERATURE DURING THE FIRST 326 DAYS OF
