AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
403 AM EST SUN FEB 10 2013

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY - A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM EMERGING OFF OF THE
ATLANTIC COAST...IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FRESHENING BREEZES ACROSS KEYS
WATERS. WINDS ARE 10 TO 15 MPH ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN...WHILE OUR
GULF AND BAY WATERS ARE NEAR 15 KNOTS...AND 15 TO 20 KNOTS ACROSS THE
FLORIDA STRAITS. THE ACCELERATING FLOW IS ASSISTING IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL BROKEN LINES OF LOW TOPPED SHOWERS...ALONG
MARITIME CONFLUENT BOUNDARIES IN THE FLORIDA STRAITS. THE HEALTHY
EAST FLOW IS KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S AND DEW POINTS IN
THE MID 60S.

FORECAST - THE HIGH TO OUR NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE EASTWARD
INTO THE ATLANTIC THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. THE STRONGEST
WINDS LOCALLY GENERATED BY THIS HIGH WILL PEAK TODAY AND
TONIGHT. WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED...WITH HIGHS
NEAR 80 AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S. THE INCREASING FLOW SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE FLORIDA STRAITS...THAT
MAY BRIEFLY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE ISLAND CHAIN.

AS THE HIGH SHIFTS FURTHER OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC...A RIDGE AXIS WILL
TRAIL ACROSS FLORIDA. THIS RIDGE AXIS WILL MIGRATE SOUTHWARD AS
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH SLIDES EASTWARD ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES.
EXPECT MODERATE SOUTHEAST BREEZES TO VEER STEADILY TO MORE SOUTHERLY
THROUGH THIS PERIOD. SCANT SHOWER CHANCES ARE EXPECTED...TO DO A
WEAKER FLOW...AND A CAPPING RIDGE SETTING UP OVERHEAD THROUGH THE
LOWER LEVELS.

THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS FRAUGHT WITH AN USUALLY HIGH
AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY...AS GUIDANCE FROM RUN TO RUN AND ENSEMBLE
MEMBER CONSISTENCY REMAINS VERY LOW. THE LONG WAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED
TO SET UP IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WHICH GENERATE A PERIOD OF
MOIST CONFLUENT FLOW WITH CYCLONIC CURVATURE THROUGH THE LOWER
LEVELS. MEANWHILE...A SURFACE FRONT MOVES INTO FLORIDA...BREAKING
DOWN INTO A WEAK TROUGH ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS ALL SUGGESTS THAT
THE KEYS MAY BE IN FOR A PERIOD OF CLOUDY AND OCCASIONALLY WET
WEATHER. FOR NOW...DUE TO THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY...WILL ADVERTISE LOW
TO MID CHANCE POPS THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED...WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. EXPECT ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS AND DEW POINTS THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR FRESHENING EAST BREEZES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS
WEEKEND. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE FLORIDA
STRAITS...AND CAUTIONS ELSEWHERE. THE ADVISORY AND CAUTIONS WILL
LIKELY BE ABLE TO BE LOWERED MONDAY AS THE HIGH RACES OFF TO THE
EAST...RELAXING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. THEREAFTER...MODERATE SOUTHEAST
BREEZES WILL VEER MORE SOUTHERLY AS A RIDGE ACROSS FLORIDA SLIDES
SOUTHWARD INTO THE STRAITS...AND ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MARCHES
EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES.

&&

.AVIATION...
A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY SKIRT THE KEYW AND KMTH TERMINALS EARLY THIS
MORNING. BUT THE PROBABILITY OF THIS OCCURRING OR PERSISTING VERY
LONG IS VERY LOW...AND WILL NOT ADVERTISE ANYTHING BELOW VFR
CONDITIONS AT EITHER TERMINAL. FEW TO SCT SHOULD BE BASED AT OR
ABOVE 2000 FEET. WINDS WILL CONTINUE FROM THE EAST SUSTAINED BETWEEN
10 AND 15 KNOTS...WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 20 KNOTS THROUGH THE
DURATION OF THE FORECAST.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ON THIS DATE IN KEYS WEATHER HISTORY...IN 1895...THE HIGH
TEMPERATURE REACHED ONLY 59F...A RECORD COLD HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR
FEB 10. THE LOW TEMPERATURE WAS 49F...ALSO A RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE
FOR THIS DATE.
