AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
300 PM EST TUE JAN 8 2013

.DISCUSSION...IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...LATEST AVAILABLE IR
SATELLITE IMAGERY OVERLAID WITH MODEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS AS OF 200
PM CONTINUES TO DEPICT A SPLITTING FLOW PATTERN ACROSS MUCH OF THE
WESTERN CONUS AND NORTHERN MEXICO...WITH A AN AREA OF UPPER LOW
PRESSURE PINCHING OFF WITHIN THE SOUTHERN STREAM OVER CHIHUAHUA
MEXICO. AS SUCH...AN APPROXIMATE 100 KNOT (WINDS AT 250 MB) BRANCH
OF THE JET ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO...THEN
MOVE NORTHEAST TO NEW ENGLAND. SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE KEYS REMAIN
BENEATH THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A VERY BROAD...DEEP AND WARM
ANTICYCLONE CENTERED OVER THE EAST CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA. AT THE
SURFACE...A 1030 MB SURFACE RIDGE IS ALIGNED FROM MARYLAND SOUTH
SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

.CURRENTLY...AS OF 200 PM...SKIES ARE MOSTLY SUNNY ACROSS THE KEYS
ISLAND CHAIN AND SURROUNDING WATERS. KEY WEST RADAR DETECTS NO
ECHOES ATTM. C-MAN STATIONS ARE RECORDING MAINLY EAST WINDS 10 TO 15
KNOTS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KNOTS...WITH SHIP REPORTS NOW
RECORDING SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS FROM 10 TO 50 NM OFFSHORE OF
THE FLORIDA REEF.

.FORECASTS...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THE KEYS WILL REMAIN ON THE
NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF DEEP MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ANCHORED
OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE 1030 MB
ANTICYCLONIC SURFACE RIDGE ALONG THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL MORPH INTO A 1030 MB CENTER OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
THROUGH THURSDAY...BEFORE THE CENTER OF STRONGER...NEAR 1035 MB
REINFORCING CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES...MOVES TO
TO THE OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE RESULT OF THIS IS
DEVELOPMENT OF BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL OF THE ISLANDS AND
SURROUNDING WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN 5 TO 7 DEGREES WITH MODERATE LEVELS OF
HUMIDITY...BUT THESE BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PROVIDE A MORE
COMFORTABLE FEEL FOR THE LANDLUBBERS VISITING THE ISLAND CHAIN.

UNFORTUNATELY...THE SEA FARERS WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH HAZARDOUS
SEA CONDITIONS DEVELOPING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE REST OF
THE WEEK...WITH SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
ACROSS ALL WATERS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FLORIDA BAY. IN TERMS OF ANY
SHOWERS...WILL HOLD ONTO JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE...10%...FOR SHOWERS
OVER THE ISLANDS...MAINLY LATE EACH NIGHT AND EARLY EACH
MORNING...WITH BOTH 12Z NAM AND GFS MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS HOLDING
ONTO 1.25 INCHES COLUMNAR PWAT (PRECIPITABLE WATER)THROUGH THE REST
OF THE WEEK. AMPLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE BENEATH A DEEPENING
EASTERLY FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE LOW TOPPED ISOLATED SHOWERS TO
DEVELOP LATE EACH NIGHT AND EARLY EACH MORNING...WITH DRIER AIR
MIXING DOWN BY MID MORNING EACH DAY.

.EXTENDED...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...MODELS DO NOT SHOW ANY
BUDGING OF THE DEEP RIDGING...AND IN FACT...THE DEEPEST RIDGING IS
SHOWN TO BUILD NEAR SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE KEYS RIGHT OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA...THE BAHAMAS...AND THE KEYS. THE SURFACE RIDGING OVER THE
CAROLINAS IS PROGGED TO SLIDE DOWN INTO FLORIDA DURING THE
WEEKEND...ALLOWING FOR SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
WINDS...BUT NEAR BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES 5 TO 7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. WILL KEEP OUT
ANY THREAT FOR SHOWERS OVER THE ISLANDS AS THE 12Z GFS MODEL
FORECAST SOUNDINGS STILL ILLUSTRATE MUCH DRIER AIR WITH PWAT BELOW
ONE INCH THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS ALL WATERS
EXCEPT FLORIDA BAY BY WEDNESDAY...REMAINING IN PLACE ACROSS ALL
WATERS EXCEPT FLORIDA BAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS HAWK CHANNEL AND THE
ATLANTIC WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES REMAINING ACROSS THE FLORIDA STRAITS THROUGH THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND. SMALL CRAFT WILL NEED TO EXERCISE CAUTION ACROSS FLORIDA
BAY TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. SMALL CRAFT WILL NEED TO EXERCISE
CAUTION ACROSS FLORIDA BAY...AND THE NEARSHORE AND OFFSHORE GULF
WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

OVERNIGHT. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS
DUE TO PASSING SHOWERS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUT OF THE
EAST THIS EVENING...BECOMING NEAR 15 KNOTS AND GUSTY.
