AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
1026 PM EST SUN JAN 1 2012

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAIL ACROSS THE FLORIDA KEYS ON THIS FIRST
EVENING OF 2012...WITH NO PRECIPITATION DETECTED ON RADAR.
TEMPERATURES ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN HAVE FALLEN INTO THE LOWER 70S
(UPPER 60S AT A FEW INTERIOR SPOTS)...AND WINDS ON LAND ARE MOSTLY
FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT 5 KNOTS OR LESS.

SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM UPSTATE
NEW YORK TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...INTO THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO.
A LARGE ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT SPRAWLS FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS STATES SOUTHWARD INTO TEXAS AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. ALOFT...THE PATTERN WHICH DOMINATED MUCH OF DECEMBER HAS
FINALLY REVERSED...WITH A DEEP TROUGH NOW PRESENT OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS AND A RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST.

.SHORT TERM (OVERNIGHT)...
MOSTLY CLEAR AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE KEYS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA RETREATS OFFSHORE AHEAD OF THE ADVANCING COLD
FRONT. TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THE READINGS
FROM 24 HOURS AGO...AND LIGHT OR CALM WINDS ALONG WITH CLEAR SKIES
SHOULD ALLOW OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 60S (LOWER-MID
60S IN THE UPPER KEYS AND A FEW NORMALLY COLDER SPOTS ELSEWHERE).
THE EXISTING FORECAST FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD REMAINS ON TRACK...AND
NO CHANGES ARE PLANNED.

THE COLD FRONT SHOULD REACH CENTRAL FLORIDA BY MONDAY MORNING...AND
STILL APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK TO PASS THROUGH THE KEYS AREA DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WINDY AND MUCH COOLER
CONDITIONS ARE IN STORE FOR THE KEYS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH MIDWEEK...
WITH THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OBSERVED SO FAR THIS WINTER SEASON
APPEARING LIKELY FOR TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
MESOSCALE EFFECTS ARE PRODUCING NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS OF 5 TO 10
KNOTS ACROSS NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE MARINE AREA...WHILE EAST
WINDS OF 5 TO 10 KNOTS (POSSIBLY A BIT STRONGER WELL OFFSHORE)
PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE FLORIDA STRAITS. EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN
10 KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD...WITH NO WEATHER
PROBLEMS ANTICIPATED. GENTLE NORTHERLY BREEZES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON...BUT A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
WILL BRING A SHARP INCREASE IN NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS INTO THE AREA
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
WESTERN GULF WATERS...AND WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE NEEDED
THROUGHOUT THE KEYS WATERS MONDAY NIGHT AS NORTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE
TO INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WILL ADD SCA EXPECTED
HEADLINES FOR MONDAY NIGHT TO THE 1030 PM FORECAST ISSUANCE. NO
OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE PLANNED.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MONDAY AT THE KEY WEST AND
MARATHON ISLAND TERMINALS. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
MIDDAY MONDAY...WITH SCT TO OCNL BKN CU OR STRATOCU AND A FEW
SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATER MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING AS A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE KEYS. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE
NORTH TO NORTHEAST AROUND 5 KNOTS OVERNIGHT...BACKING TO THE NORTH
NEAR 10 KNOTS BY MIDDAY MONDAY...THEN BACKING NORTH NORTHWEST AND
INCREASING TO NEAR 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OVER 20 KNOTS BY EARLY MONDAY
EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. STRONG CROSSWINDS WILL
BE A CONCERN AT BOTH TERMINALS MONDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
