AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
1020 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY - A COLD FRONT IS RACING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 25 KNOTS THROUGH THE
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. LOCALLY...SOUTHEAST WINDS HAVE WEAKENED
SIGNIFICANTLY THIS EVENING...AS THE KEYS ARE NOW SITUATED IN AN AREA
OF WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENTS...WITH THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH TO OUR
NORTH...AND ATLANTIC RIDGE WELL OFF TO THE EAST. LIGHT BUT WARM
TRAJECTORY IS KEEPING TEMPERATURES MID 70S WITH DEW POINT
TEMPERATURES NEAR 70. THIS EVENINGS SOUNDING INDICATED A STABLE
ENVIRONMENT...AND NO SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS BEEN DETECTED THIS EVENING.

SHORT TERM UPDATE (OVERNIGHT) - WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT...GRADUALLY
VEERING FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF DEEP LARGE
SCALE CYCLONIC FLOW...THE CLOSE APPROACH OF THE PREFRONTAL
TROUGH...AND COOLING AND MOISTENING THROUGH THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE MAY
BE SUFFICIENT TO DEVELOP SOME CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WILL
MAINTAIN THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT.
MAY UPDATE LOCAL FORECAST TO FRESHEN WIND WORDING.

THE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE LENGTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS
BEFORE MIDDAY. WINDS WILL SURGE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST...BRINGING WITH
IT A COOLER DRIER AIR MASS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE IN THE
MORNING...THEN GRADUALLY FALL THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY INTO THE
UPPER 60S BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ACROSS KEYS WATERS HAVE LULLED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS...HOWEVER THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH KEYS WATERS BEGINNING LATE
TONIGHT. FOR NOW A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE RAISED FOR INCREASING
WINDS LATE TONIGHT ON KEYS OUTER GULF AND DRY TORTUGAS ZONES. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL KEYS WATERS BY THURSDAY
EVENING. A LARGE 5 TO 8 FOOT NORTHWEST SWELL WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO OUR
WESTERN WATERS ON THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT EYW AND MTH TONIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS
ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL LIKELY OVERSPREAD THE
FLORIDA KEYS THURSDAY MORNING. CEILINGS MAY LIFT TO ABOUT 3500 FEET
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED SOUTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS
FROM JUST OFF THE SURFACE TO ABOUT 3000 FEET WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST
TO NORTH AND INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KNOTS THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ON THIS DATE IN KEYS WEATHER HISTORY...IN 1940...THE LOW TEMPERATURE
IN KEY WEST WAS 47 DEGREES. THIS SET THE DAILY RECORD FOR MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE MEASURED IN KEY WEST ON JANUARY 30TH...A RECORD WHICH
STILL STANDS 73 YEARS LATER. TEMPERATURE RECORDS AT KEY WEST DATE
BACK TO 1872.
