AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
310 PM EST THU FEB 5 2015

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY... LOCAL RADARS ARE DETECTING A LARGE AND SLOWLY ERODING
AREA OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED ISOLATED CELLS COVERING THE ISLAND CHAIN
AND SOUTHWARD INTO THE FLORIDA STRAITS. DUE TO THE BLANKET OF
CLOUDINESS AND OCCASIONAL RAIN...TEMPERATURES ARE HOVERING AROUND 70
DEGREES ALONG THE FLORIDA KEYS. SURFACE WISE...A COLD FRONT IS
DRAPED FROM THE NORTHWEST COAST OF COLLIER COUNTY...SOUTHWESTWARD TO
ABOUT 20 NM WEST OF FORT JEFFERSON NATIONAL PARK. THIS FRONT IS
DRIVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...THE AFORMENTIONED
FORMIDABLE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NAPLES TO 20 NM WEST OF DRY
TORTUGAS THIS AFTERNOON...WILL PLOW SOUTHEASTWARD AND CLEAR THE
ISLAND CHAIN BY EARLY THIS EVENING. THE LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED ISOLATED CELLS WILL MOVE OFF THE FLORIDA
KEYS BY 6 PM...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES GIVING WAY TO GRADUAL
DECREASING CLOUDS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WINDY...COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL
FILTER IN WITH ONLY NICKLE POPS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...BEFORE LOW
LEVEL NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS PROVIDE ENOUGH MOISTURE FLUX TO PROMPT
ISOLATED 20 PERCENT POPS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
THEREAFTER...DRIER AIR BELOW 700 MB ALONG WITH A SLACKENING LOW
LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL PROVIDE ONLY DIME/CLIMO POPS FOR THE REST
OF THIS WEEKEND. SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TONIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY WILL RETURN TO AVERAGE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... A WESTERN ATLANTIC SURFACE
RIDGE ALIGNED ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE KEYS WILL SLOWLY RETREAT
INTO THE BAHMAS BY LATE MONDAY. THIS WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO A COLD
FRONT DRIVING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF
