AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
410 AM EDT SAT JUN 23 2012

.DISCUSSION...
IN WAKE OF THE WIDESPREAD RAIN...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH OVERSPREAD OUR ENTIRE AREA FRIDAY EVENING...DEEP
CONVECTION HAS BECOME SCATTERED PRIMARILY OVER THE MIDDLE KEYS AND
THE ADJACENT NEARSHORE AND SURROUNDING OFFSHORE WATERS INCLUDING
FLORIDA BAY. MEANWHILE...SKIES ARE CLOUDY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S OUTSIDE OF RAINFALL...WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS
OF 10 TO 15 MPH. SURFACE WISE...A LARGE AND BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE (1006 MB) IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA...WITH A DECAYING WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE POKING INTO THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. ACROSS OUR MARINE DISTRICT...C-MAN STATION
PLATFORM OBSERVATIONS INDICATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF AROUND 15
KNOTS EXCEPT 5 TO 10 KNOTS AT MOLASSES REEF OFF KEY LARGO.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...
AS A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE JUST NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
GRADUALLY LIFTS NORTHWARD AND INTENSIFIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...OUR REGION WILL LIE IN A VERY MOIST AND INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE
AIR MASS DUE TO A STRENGTHENING LOW AND MID LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW.
GIVEN AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE WITH PWAT VALUES AVERAGING ABOUT 2.5
INCHES IN PLACE...SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE FLUX AND CONFLUENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL LOW WILL MAINTAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL
POPS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. FURTHERMORE...EXPECT ADDITIONAL DEEP
CONVECTION THAN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS DUE TO AN ORGANIZED AND
STRONG LOW AND MID LEVEL SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH TRAJECTORY. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN SOME MULTICELLULAR THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS AND WITH STORM
MOVEMENT OF AROUND 20 KNOTS...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG
ESPECIALLY LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. HENCE...A FEW STORMS COULD BE
STRONG WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE MORNING HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
FOR THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...CONSIDERABLE CLOUD
COVER WILL KEEP BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH TODAYS HIGH IN THE
LOWER TO MID 80S...IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S SUNDAY...WHILE OVERNIGHT
LOWS AVERAGE IN THE MID 70S TONIGHT AND IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80
SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
EXPECT THE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE TO EXPAND WESTWARD ACROSS THE
ARCHIPELAGO OF CUBA AND THE FLORIDA KEYS...AS THE TROPICAL SYSTEM IN
THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO SLIDES FURTHER AWAY FROM OUR
REGION. GIVEN SOME SOME DRIER AND STABLE AIR FILTERING IN...WILL
MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS WHICH ARE SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO BUT BELOW
MEX MOS AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF MOS. GIVEN ENOUGH
INSOLATION...TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL WITH DAYTIME
HIGHS NEAR 90 DEGREES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR 80.

&&

.MARINE...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA WILL
GRADUALLY MIGRATE NORTHWARD AND INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS BEFORE TURNING NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE GULF OF MEXICO.
MEANWHILE...A WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY NOSE WESTWARD.
THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN AN
INCREASE OF WINDS BEGINNING IN THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR WESTERN
MARINE DISTRICT TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY WHEN AN ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
REQUIRED FOR ALL OF OUR COASTAL WATERS. FURTHERMORE...WINDS AND SEAS
WILL BE EVEN HIGHER NEAR ANY DEEP CONVECTION MOVING SWIFTLY
NORTHWARD OFF THE ARCHIPELAGO OF CUBA ESPECIALLY IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. MARINERS SHOULD STAY TUNED TO LATER
FORECAST CONCERNING POSSIBLE TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IN THE
GULF OF MEXICO.

&&

.AVIATION...
ALTHOUGH VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL...OCCASIONAL MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT THE KEY WEST AND MARATHON TERMINALS
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY VICINITY SHOWERS
IN THE TAFS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN LOCATION...DURATION...AND
TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE MAINLY
OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST NEAR 12 KNOTS...BUT COULD BE HIGHLY VARIABLE IN
THE VICINITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG LATE TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT...

...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS AND
ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE LYING
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES AND A BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF WINDS
ON KEYS COASTAL WATERS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND GUSTY WILL IMPACT THE
WATERS FROM THE WEST END OF THE SEVEN MILE BRIDGE TO BEYOND DRY
TORTUGAS AND SOUTHWARD FOR 60 NM...AS WELL AS THE OUTER WATERS OF
MAINLAND MONROE. FOR TONIGHT...SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE
TO NEAR 20 KNOTS AND GUSTY ON MOST KEYS COASTAL WATERS WHEN A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED.

IN ADDITION...THE COMBINATION OF AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE AND AN
INCREASING SOUTHERLY STEERING FLOW WILL RESULT IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. WITH SOME TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LIKELY LATE TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FLORIDA KEYS.

ALSO...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE FLORIDA
KEYS AND THE SURROUNDING COASTAL WATERS TODAY AND TONIGHT...A FEW OF
WHICH MAY BE STRONG TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE PRIMARY THUNDERSTORM
HAZARDS WILL BE CLOUD TO SURFACE LIGHTNING STRIKES AND STRONG GUSTY
WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY AFFECT THE FLORIDA
KEYS AND THE SURROUNDING COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH
THE BEST CHANCE ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING. THE PRIMARY
