AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
347 AM EST FRI FEB 20 2015

CORRECTED TYPO

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
A LOOK AT THE GULF OF MEXICO AND FLORIDA PENINSULA FROM A SPACE BORN
REFERENCE FRAME WE FIND THE LAND SHADOW SURROUNDING THE COASTLINE
AROUND THE ENTIRE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS IS DUE TO THE
IMMENSE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE TIP OF HUDSON
BAY...THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE EASTERN EDGE OF THIS
RIDGE IS FUNNELING COLD AIR DOWN THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS STRAIT
THROUGH THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...AND OVER THE KEYS. WINDS HAVE LULLED
A BIT RECENTLY...OUT OF THE NORTH AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS FROM THE MARINE
REPORTING STATION SURROUNDING THE MIDDLE AND LOWER KEYS...WHILE
MOLASSES REEF IS A BIT HIGHER WITH NEAR 20 KNOTS AND GUSTY. SKIES ARE
CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH PLENTY OF STARS SHINNING UNDER A NEW MOON.
CURRENTLY TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE COOL WITH MID 40S ALONG THE UPPER
KEYS...50 TO 55 ALONG THE MIDDLE AND LOWER KEYS.

.FORECAST...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT
DUE TO ENOUGH MIXING...AND THE MODERATING WATERS AROUND THE ISLAND
CHAIN. THE WIND WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE LOW TO MID 40S EXCEPT FOR THE
UPPER KEYS WHICH WILL FELL LIKE ITS NEAR 40 DEGREES. THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON TODAY WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE LOWER 60S. THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT TO THE
EAST HEADING FOR THE MID ATLANTIC...WHICH WILL VEER WINDS MORE TO THE
NORTHEAST TO EAST OVERNIGHT. WITH THIS IN MIND THE OVERNIGHT LOWS
INTO SATURDAY MORNING WILL MODERATE A GREAT DEAL AND REMAIN NEAR THE
60 DEGREE MARK. WITH THE WINDS VEERING A BIT MORE AND OUT OF THE EAST
EXPECT THE LONG FETCH OVER THE WARMER GULF STREAM TO BRING IN MORE
MOISTURE...AND WARM THE KEYS BACK UP TO NEAR NORMAL LATE SATURDAY.
WITH THE ADDITIONAL MOISTURE WE WILL SEE A RETURN OF SLIGHT CHANCE
INTO THE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY AS WELL...DUE TO SOME ADDED WEAK
MESOSCALE LIFTING...AND EVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR A CLOUD LINE SUNDAY
AND MONDAY IN WEAK FLOW. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES OUTSIDE OF MODIFYING
THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL KEYS WATERS. THE
VERY LARGE AND ROBUST AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES WILL GRADUALLY MORE EAST AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST LATE
TOMORROW. WINDS WILL CLOCK AROUND THE COMPASS FROM THE NORTH
TODAY...THROUGH EAST BY SATURDAY MORNING. AS THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO
TREK TO THE EAST...WINDS WILL RELAX SIGNIFICANTLY SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT EYW AND MTH TODAY AND TONIGHT.
SUSTAINED NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS FROM JUST OFF
THE SURFACE TO ABOUT 5000 FEET WILL VEER TO EAST AND DECREASE TO 20
TO 25 KNOTS THIS EVENING.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ON THIS DATE IN FLORIDA KEYS WEATHER HISTORY...IN 1900...THE LOW
TEMPERATURE IN KEY WEST WAS 52 DEGREES. THIS SET THE DAILY RECORD
FOR MINIMUM TEMPERATURE MEASURED IN KEY WEST ON FEBRUARY 20TH...A
RECORD WHICH WAS DUPLICATED IN 1958. THIS RECORD WILL LIKELY BE
BROKEN OVERNIGHT AS THE TEMPERATURE AT KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT IS EXPECTED TO FALL TO NEAR 50 DEGREES. TEMPERATURE RECORDS
AT KEY WEST DATE BACK TO 1872.

&&

.PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
KEY WEST  64  61  73  69 / -  -  10 10
MARATHON  63  60  73  69 / -  -  10 10

&&

.KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FL...NONE.
GM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 5 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON FOR
     GMZ031>035-042>044-052>055-072>075.
