STATES. AN INVERTED TROUGH IS NEAR THE WESTERN TIP OF CUBA AND THE
TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS ACROSS CENTRAL CUBA. THE KEYS AREA RESIDES ALONG
THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THIS RIDGE BETWEEN THE SURFACE RIDGE AND THE

THUNDERSTORMS ARE TREKKING WESTWARD ACROSS THE FLORIDA
STRAITS...NEARSHORE WATERS...AND THE KEYS ISLAND CHAIN. THE MARINE
REPORTING STATIONS SHOW WINDS OUT OF THE EAST AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS WHILE
THE ISLAND TERMINALS 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS.

.FORECAST...
WITH THE MASSIVE RIDGE TO OUR NORTH AND THE TROUGH TO THE
SOUTH...EXPECT FRESH WINDS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY.
MOISTURE IS BEING SQUEEZED BETWEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH AND
THE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH...RESULTING IN THE AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING THE KEYS AREA. THE RIDGE WILL SLIDE TO THE
EAST OVER THE ATLANTIC AS THE TROUGH OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
PUSHES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLANS AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY. AS THE TROUGH MOVES OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES ON

OF MEXICO. EXPECTING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

POSSIBLY THURSDAY FOR AT LEAST THE FLORIDA STRAITS. THIS RIDGE WILL
STRETCH EASTWARD AS A TROUGH MOVES OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES LATE
SATURDAY...RESULTING IN GRADUALLY DECREASING BREEZES SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
PERIODS OF MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS AND / OR VISIBILITIES CAN BE
EXPECTED ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT AT BOTH THE KEY WEST AND MARATHON
INTERNATIONAL TERMINALS. A LINE OF SHOWERS WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
ARE CURRENTLY HEADING FOR THE MIDDLE AND LOWER KEYS IN THE EASTERLY
FLOW. SURFACE WINDS ARE 10 TO 15 KNOTS AND GUSTING BETWEEN 18 AND 22
KNOTS. EXPECTING WINDS TO REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 15 KNOTS RANGE WITH
HIGHER GUSTS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
