AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
321 PM EST WED NOV 21 2012

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
WINDS ACROSS THE KEYS AND COASTAL WATERS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY STEADY
STATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. ISLAND STATIONS ON AVERAGE
RANGE FROM 10 TO 15 KNOTS AND MARINE PLATFORMS 15 TO 20 WITH GUSTS
20 TO 25 KNOTS. THE AFTERNOON LULL IN WINDS AROUND THE UPPER KEYS
EXPECTED WITH MAINLAND HEATING AND THE WEAKENING OF THE NOCTURNAL
DENSITY CURRENT REALLY HAS NOT MATERIALIZED...OR AT LEAST HAS BEEN
DIFFICULT TO DISCERN IN THE WIND DATA. TEMPERATURES OVER THE ISLANDS
HAVE MOST LIKELY MAXED OUT FOR THE DAY STAYING IN THE LOW 70S.

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OFF THE GEORGIA
COAST WILL BE THE PRIMARY FORCING BEHIND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENING OVER THE KEYS...AND THUS WINDS INCREASING THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE CONSENSUS AGREES WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20
PLUS OVER THE FLORIDA STRAITS AND NEAR 20 ELSEWHERE OVERNIGHT.
BEGINNING THANKSGIVING DAY THE LOW OF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL START TO
MOVE OFF TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST IN RESPONSE TO A HIGH AMPLITUDE
TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE GREAT LAKES. AS THIS OCCURS WINDS WILL SLOWLY
BEGIN TO DECREASE THROUGH FRIDAY...RELAXING TO NORTHERLY AROUND 10
KNOTS BY FRIDAY EVENING. THE BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL AID THE ADVECTION TONIGHT OF COOLER AND DRIER
AIR INTO THE AREA BEFORE SLOWING DOWN FRIDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE
COOLEST AND DRIEST AIR SO FAR THIS DRY SEASON. MOS GUIDANCE SHOWS
DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S OVERNIGHT...AND MODEL SOUNDINGS
SHOW PRECIPITABLE WATER BELOW FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH BY MORNING.
NEEDLESS TO SAY...NO CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION...OR EVEN
CLOUDS...THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTH
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...WITH ANOTHER WEAK FRONT POSSIBLY PUSHING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. BY SUNDAY THE LOW OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD
WILL BE NEAR LABRADOR WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHEAST
IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. AS THE HIGH MOVES INTO THE SOUTHEAST AND
PROGRESSES OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST...WINDS OVER THE CWA WILL VEER TO
NORTHEAST TO EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW A RETURN OF MOISTURE AS
PRECIPITABLE WATER REBOUNDS TO OVER AN INCH BY MONDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND AS WELL...WITH LOWS NEAR 70 AND HIGHS NEAR
80. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE
FORECAST CURRENTLY CARRIES HORIZON 10 PERCENT POPS FROM SUNDAY
MORNING ONWARDS...AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THESE ARE OVERDONE BY 10
PERCENT. WILL CONSIDERING REMOVING POPS ENTIRELY IN SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL FLORIDA KEYS COASTAL
WATERS. NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING TO NEAR 20
KNOTS...WITH FREQUENT GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS. SEAS IN THE FLORIDA
STRAITS WILL BUILD TO 7 FEET...WITH EVEN HIGHER SEAS IN THE STRAITS
EAST OF THE UPPER KEYS DUE TO A NORTHERLY SWELL.

&&

.AVIATION...
THROUGH 12Z/22ND...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL AT THE KEY WEST
AND MARATHON TERMINALS...WITH WINDS VARYING FROM (340-020) BETWEEN
13 AND 17 KNOTS ALONG WITH FREQUENT GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KNOTS.
BECAUSE OF THESE WINDS...MODERATE NORTHERLY
CROSS WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED.
