AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
354 PM EST FRI FEB 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
THE FLORIDA KEYS HAVE BEEN SOCKED IN WITH OVERCAST CONDITIONS FOR
MOST OF THE DAY AS TEMPERATURES SLOWLY DROP UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
INCREASINGLY COOL AND DRY NORTHERLY FLOW. THE FRONTAL ZONE WHICH WAS
BRIEFLY STALLED OVER THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA IS NOW MAKING A MOVE
SOUTHEASTWARD WITH A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST. RECENT DOPPLER RADAR SCANS SHOW AREAS OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN MOVING TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST ABOVE A LOW-LEVEL
STRATUS DECK. MEASURABLE RAINFALL IS NOT LIKELY IN THE MOST KEYS
COMMUNITIES TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION.

THIS WEEKEND WILL FEATURE COOLER...BREEZIER...AND MUCH LESS HUMID
WEATHER...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ON SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY SUNNY
SKIES ON SUNDAY.

A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AT THE SURFACE WILL DOMINATE THE LOCAL WEATHER
PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THE EASTWARD-MOVING SURFACE HIGH
CENTER WILL RESULT IN GRADUALLY VEERING WINDS. THE STRONGEST WINDS
WILL BE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. MODERATE BREEZES WILL TURN
AROUND TO DUE EAST BY MID-WEEK. RAINFALL CHANCES WILL BE NIL AFTER
SATURDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED LATER THIS EVENING FOR
ALL ZONES. BREEZES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FRESHENING FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE AREA AS A HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH...PUSHING
A STALLED COLD FRONT OVER THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA SOUTHEASTWARD. FRESH
TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG NORTH BREEZES WILL THEN SET IN OVERNIGHT...
PERSISTING THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE WILL
DOMINATE THE LOCAL WEATHER PATTERN ALL OF NEXT WEEK...WITH WINDS
TURNING NORTHEAST THEN EAST...AND STAYING UP CLOSE TO 15KT SUSTAINED.
&&

.AVIATION...
IFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL AT THE KEY WEST TERMINAL...WHILE MVFR
CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL AT THE MARATHON TERMINAL THIS EVENING. BASES
WILL GRADUALLY ELEVATE OVERNIGHT AND VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD DOMINATE
AFTER MIDNIGHT. VFR BASED CEILINGS WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THIS EVENING...BECOMING BREEZY. THIS WILL RESULT IN GUSTY NORTHERLY
CROSSWINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS AT BOTH ISLAND TERMINALS.
&&

.CLIMATE...
ON THIS DATE IN KEYS WEATHER HISTORY...THE DAILY RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF 85 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT WAS RECORDED AT THE KEY WEST
WEATHER BUREAU OFFICE IN 1875. THIS 136-YEAR-OLD RECORD IS THE THIRD
OLDEST TEMPERATURE RECORD FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY IN KEY WEST.

FOR MORE CURRENT KEYS HISTORY...KEY WEST CONTINUES TO MOVE UP THE
RECORD-RANKS FOR CONSECUTIVE DAYS NOT REACHING 80 DEGREES AT THE KEY
WEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE ALREADY SLOWLY
DROPPING...AFTER ONLY REACHING THE LOW-70S...MAKING IT THE 73RD
CONSECUTIVE SUB-80-DEGREE DAY. THIS IS THE 5TH LONGEST SUCH STRETCH
SINCE TEMPERATURE OBSERVATIONS BEGAN...BACK IN 1872. THE 2ND LONGEST
STRETCH OF 79 DAYS WILL POSSIBLY BE IN RANGE...AS TEMPERATURES ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO BE UNSEASONABLY WARM THROUGH AT LEAST NEXT FRIDAY.
