AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
336 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2016

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY - A SURFACE TROUGH OFF THE FLORIDA ATLANTIC COAST IS
DEVELOPING INTO A LOW CENTERED NORTH OF THE BAHAMAS. AS A
RESULT...WINDS VARY QUITE A BIT ACROSS THE SERVICE AREA...WITH
GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST BREEZES ON OUR EASTERN ZONES...AND MODERATE
NORTHERLIES OVER OUR WESTERN ZONES. LARGE SCALE UPGLIDE THROUGH THE
LOWER LEVELS IS STRENGTHENING AS A POWERFUL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
CONTINUES TO SWING EASTWARD THROUGH THE GULF OF MEXICO. A LARGE AREA
OF LIGHT RAIN CENTERED OVER THE LOWER AND MARQUESAS KEYS CONTINUES TO
EXPAND THIS AFTERNOON. AREAS THAT SAW AN EASTERLY FLOW WERE ABLE TO
GET INTO THE MID 70S...WHILE AREAS THAT BACKED NORTHERLY WERE CAPPED
IN THE LOWER 70S THIS MORNING.

FORECAST - THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL ARC ACROSS FLORIDA TONIGHT...THEN
LIFT OUT NORTHEASTWARD ON SUNDAY...TAKING THE SURFACE LOW WITH IT. IN
THE MEAN TIME...WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST TO
NORTH...FLUSHING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FLORIDA KEYS. EXPECT
CONTINUES PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN TONIGHT...PERHAPS INTO EARLY
TOMORROW...DIMINISHING IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE SHOT OF
SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR WILL DROP TEMPERATURES TO NEAR 60 WITH DEW POINTS
DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S BY SUNDAY. HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB
THROUGH THE UPPER 60S.

WINDS WILL QUICKLY RELAX SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THEN A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE KEYS MONDAY EVENING.
THE REINFORCING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE MOISTURE STARVED...AND
ONLY SLIGHT POPS WILL BE ADVERTISED. HOWEVER...THE WESTERLY WIND
SURGE WILL BE EQUALLY STRONG. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY TURN NORTHERLY
AND RELAX HEADING INTO MID WEEK. THE CONTINUED COOL TRAJECTORY WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MID WEEK.

THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK...A HIGH CELL WILL SHIFT
EASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...AND SPREAD OUT INTO
THE ATLANTIC. AS A RESULT...WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER NORTHEAST THEN
EAST. AS THE TRAJECTORY BECOMES MORE VEERED...TEMPERATURES AND
MOISTURE WILL ALSO GRADUALLY MODERATE...RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL.
RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN SLIM TO NONE THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NORTH OF THE BAHAMAS WILL DRIVE A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE KEYS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL STEADILY STRENGTHEN OUT
OF THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT
FOR ALL KEYS WATERS TONIGHT...AS SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 25 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED OVER PRIORITIES OF KEYS WATERS. SEAS WILL CORRESPONDINGLY
BUILD...WITH THE HIGHEST SEAS OVER OUR WESTERN WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL SUBSIDE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...THEN SURGE AGAIN LATE MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE KEYS.
THEREAFTER...WINDS WILL TREND DOWNWARDS AND SLOWLY CLOCK AROUND TO
EAST NORTHEAST BY THURSDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SPREADS EASTWARD
THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATS AND THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC.

&&

.AVIATION...
PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THIS
EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT DUE TO A LARGE PERSISTENT AREA OF RAIN WITH
EMBEDDED SHOWERS. WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT...BECOMING STRONG OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. THIS WILL PRODUCE
SIGNIFICANT CROSS WINDS AT THE ISLAND TERMINALS.
