AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
1005 AM EDT WED MAY 29 2013

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY IN PORTIONS OF THE ISLAND CHAIN

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
EARLY VISIBLE SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW CLOUDY SKIES WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN.
MEANWHILE...LOCAL RADARS ARE DETECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS...AREAS OF
RAIN ALONG ALONG WITH ONLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COVERING SOUTH
FLORIDA AND OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA. SURFACE WISE...A VERY
FORMIDABLE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE EXTENDS INTO THE CAROLINAS...WITH
A WELL PRONOUNCED TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST GULF
OF MEXICO...AND ACROSS THE FLORIDA KEYS AND JUST OFFSHORE OF THE
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST. OUTSIDE OF DEEP CONVECTION...WINDS ARE EAST
TO SOUTHEAST NEAR 15 KNOTS. OTHERWISE...OUR MORNING SOUNDING WAS
EXTREMELY MOIST ( 2.14 INCHES) AND CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE. GENTLE TO
MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS REACH UP TO 700 MB...BEFORE BECOMING
CHAOTIC ABOVE.

.SHORT TERM...(REST OF TODAY)...
GIVEN AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN PLACE....A NEARBY LOW AND MID
LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW COMBINED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
MIGRATING EAST ACROSS THE ARCHIPELAGO OF CUBA AND THE ADJACENT
NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN AND OUR AREA WILL RESULT IN LARGE SCALE
ASCENT...ALBEIT MODEST FOR THE BALANCE OF TODAY. IN ADDITION...THE
STRONGEST LOW LEVEL SPEED CONFLUENCE (SURFACE TO 850 MB) WILL BE
FOUND FROM THE UPPER KEYS NORTHWARD INTO SOUTH FLORIDA AWAY FROM THE
OPEN WAVE/TROUGH. REGARDLESS...LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS WILL BE
KEPT ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN WITH THE PRIMARY CONCERN BEING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL ESPECIALLY IN THE UPPER KEYS. CONSIDERABLE CLOUD
COVER AND RAINFALL WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 80 AND 85
DEGREES.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH A PERSISTENT TROUGH LYING NEAR THE FLORIDA KEYS AND A WESTERN
ATLANTIC RIDGE ANCHORED ACROSS THE CAROLINA COAST...THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT NEARBY REMAINS SOMEWHAT OPEN WITH THE HIGHEST WINDS
OFFSHORE OF THE UPPER KEYS AND NORTHWARD. HENCE...WILL REPLACE THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WITH AN EXERCISE CAUTION. ALSO...WILL REPLACE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH ISOLATED...BUT MAINTAIN WINDS AND SEAS
HIGHER NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION...
THROUGH 30TH/12Z...DEEP MOISTURE COMBINED WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY
UPSTREAM LOW-LEVEL TROUGH WILL KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE PRIMED FOR
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPO
MVFR CIGS AND VIS ARE LIKELY AT THE EYW AND MTH TERMINALS...WITH IFR
LESS LIKELY DUE TO LIMITED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. LOW-LEVEL WIND
FIELDS HAVE BEEN ERRATIC DUE TO NEARBY CONVECTION AND HAVE BEEN
LIMITED BY THE UPSTREAM TROUGH. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM THE
EAST TO SOUTHEAST AT NEAR 10 KNOTS...WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 25 KNOTS
IN AND NEAR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

.KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
