AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
300 PM EST MON JAN 25 2016

.DISCUSSION...IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...700-200 MB...LATEST IR
IMAGERY OVERLAID WITH MODEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS AS OF 2 PM DEPICTS A
NEARLY 100 PLUS AT 250 MB JET CONTINUING FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA TO
ACROSS THE GULF TO OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. AT THE SURFACE AND IN
THE LOWER LEVELS...(SURFACE TO 700 MB)...THE CENTER OF A STALWART
NEAR 1030 MB SURFACE COLD RIDGE IS LOCATED FROM NEAR CAPE HATTERAS.
SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE KEYS ARE BENEATH THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
THIS INTENSIFYING RIDGE.

.CURRENTLY...AS OF 200 PM...SKIES ARE PARTLY CLOUDY WITH STRATOCU
ENCOMPASSING MUCH OF THE KEYS AND THE WARMER WATERS TO THE SOUTH.
TEMPERATURES HAVE ONLY REACHED THE UPPER 60S AS OF THE 2 PM HOUR AND
WINDS ARE STILL EAST NORTHEAST AVERAGING 15 KNOTS ALONG THE
REEF...EXCEPT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS IN CHILLY FLORIDA BAY.

.SHORT TERM...BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT THRU TUESDAY
ACROSS HAWK CHANNEL AND THE DEEPER FLORIDA STRAITS WATERS. THE
SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE EASTWARD AS IT INTENSIFIES TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY...ALLOWING WARMING AND SLOW MOISTENING OF THE BOUNDARY
LAYER. WE REMAIN BENEATH A VERY STRONG MID AND UPPER JET UPSTREAM OF
THE KEYS AND AT KEYS LATITUDE AND THIS PORTENDS MORE WEATHER IS ON
ITS WAY WITH SHOWER CHANCES INCREASING MARKEDLY TUESDAY NIGHT...AS
LOWER PRESSURE GETS TOGETHER IN THE LOWER LEVELS OVER THE WEST
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. INDICATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM ARE IN BOTH THE
ECMWF AND GFS THOUGH THE DETAILS GET DIFFERENT GOING OUT WEDNESDAY
THRU THURSDAY. ANYWAY...A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED
ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE KEYS BY LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND DURING WEDNESDAY...THEN NORTH OF THE KEYS BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. UNLIKE THE LAST FROPA...A WARMER AIRMASS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
WORK WITH AS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT FROPA AND THE JET DYNAMICS WILL
ALLOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
PERIOD. LARGE SCALE LIFT IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS WILL SUPPORT
AREAS OF RAINFALL DURING WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

EC AND GFS MODELS DIFFER DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH
REGARDS TO THE POSITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LOWER PRESSURE NEAR THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA WITH THE ECMWF MORE ORGANIZED AND WEST OF TAMPA
WHILST THE GFS DOES NOT GET ORGANIZED TILL ITS EAST OF FLORIDA. THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THE POSITION OF THE LOW WILL BE THE TIME WHEN IT
SWINGS THE ACTUAL SFC COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY THRU THE KEYS. FOR NOW
WILL HOLD WITH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. IN TERMS OF CHANCES FOR
RAIN...NEW GUIDANCE SUGGEST HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS DURING TUESDAY
NIGHT AHEAD OF APPROACHING WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LIKELY CHANCES
FOR RAIN WITH SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND THESE COULD CONTAIN LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF
RAINFALL. GIVEN BOUNDARY LAYER WARMING AND DYNAMICS...ANOTHER SQUALL
WILL PROBABLY COME THRU AGAIN SOMETIME THURSDAY. RIGHT NOW SPC IS
INDICATING MARGINAL RISK FOR DAY 3.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...SOME RESIDUAL SHOWERS WILL
OCCUR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT BUT IT TAKES TIME FOR THE
BOUNDARY LAYER TO DRY OUT UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. FRIDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND ALLOWS FOR ANOTHER SHOT OF CONTINENTAL AIR MOVING DOWN THE
PENINSULA WITH NEARLY CLEAR SKIES AND DAYTIME HI AND LO TEMPERATURES
BACK BELOW NORMAL...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S...ONLY
REACHING MID 70S FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BUT NO CHANCE OF RAIN.

&&

.MARINE...FOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...GIVEN INTENSIFYING RIDGING JUST
EAST OF THE CAROLINAS...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE HOISTED
ACROSS HAWK CHANNEL...THE FLORIDA STRAITS...AND THE DEEPER WATERS
AROUND REBECCA SHOAL AND THE TORTUGAS. ACROSS THE OFFSHORE GULF
WATERS...WATER TEMPERATURES ARE MARKEDLY COOLER...SO HAVE PUT UP A
SCEC...AND GIVEN THE COLD TEMPERATURES OF THE WATERS INSIDE THE
FIVE FATHOM LINE AND FLORIDA BAY AM NOT ANTICIPATING HEADLINES OR
ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. SCEC CONDITIONS WILL BE LIKELY AGAIN
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS ALL WATERS EXPECT THE SHALLOW BAY
AND GULF WATERS. BY WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE WINDS WILL
CLOCK SOUTH BETWEEN SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH AND EXPECT MODERATE WINDS AT
THIS POINT ACROSS ALL WATERS...BUT TREMENDOUS UNCERTAINTY IN THE
WIND FORECAST EXISTS FOR THESE TWO PERIODS AS THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON
LOW PRESSURE. WHAT IS CERTAIN IS AREAS OF RAINFALL WITH
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AROUND MAKING CONDITIONS UNFAVORABLE FOR
RECREATIONAL BOATERS. THE ACTUAL FRONT MAY ARRIVE THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT WITH ANOTHER SQUALL PRECEDING IT...FOLLOWED BY ADVISORY
CONDITIONS WITH 25 KNOTS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING...PLEASE
STAY TUNED. IMPROVEMENT IS INDICATED BY SATURDAY

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED TO BROKEN CEILINGS NEAR OR JUST UNDER FL050
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING. NORTHEAST WINDS HAVE PERSISTED AT
8 TO 12 KNOTS TODAY...BUT WILL SHIFT OUT OF 080-110 DEGREES
OVERNIGHT AS A NARROW BOUNDARY OFF THE ATLANTIC SIDE OF THE FLORIDA
KEYS GRADUALLY WORKS NORTH AND WEST AFTER SUNSET...AND MAY COINCIDE
WITH A SLIGHT LOWER OF CLOUD BASES CLOSER TO FL040. LITTLE CHANGE IS
EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY ALTHOUGH EAST WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST NEAR
15 KNOTS BY AFTERNOON.
