AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
1010 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2016

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER
TO MID 70S ALONG THE FLORIDA KEYS. MEANWHILE...LOCAL RADARS ARE NOT
DETECTING ANY PRECIPITATION ECHOES IN OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA.
SURFACE WISE...AN EXTENSIVE RIDGE EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
AND INTO THE EAST CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO...WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE IS DRAPED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE ADJACENT
GULF AND ATLANTIC OCEAN. WINDS ARE NORTHWEST TO NORTH NEAR 10 KNOTS
ON OUR MARINE DISTRICT. OUR EVENING SOUNDING REVEALS SCANT MOISTURE
(PWAT .82 INCHES) WITH A UNIDIRECTIONAL WESTERLY FLOW EXTENDING WELL
INTO THE TROPOSPHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...
OUTSIDE OF A SLIVER OF MOISTURE BETWEEN 900 AND 850 MB...EXTREMELY
DRY AIR AND A UNIDIRECTIONAL WEST NORTHWEST TRAJECTORY WILL PRECLUDE
ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ECHOES. OTHERWISE...DESPITE SUBTLE COLD
AIR ADVECTION...WARM GULF AND BAY WATERS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
MAINLY AT OR ABOVE 70 DEGREES.

&&

.MARINE...
AN EXPANSIVE REGION OF HIGH PRESSURE NOSING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE
SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTH FLORIDA IN CONJUNCTION WITH
SUBTLE COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN NORTHWEST TO
NORTH WINDS LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL ABATE
APPRECIABLY ADJACENT TO A PORTION OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER KEYS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT FRESH TO STRONG WINDS SHOULD PERSIST ON OUR
GULF WATERS AND THE WESTERN STRAITS WHERE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL BE REQUIRED. A SIGNIFICANT WIND SURGE WILL OVERSPREAD OUR
ENTIRE MARINE DISTRICT SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL BE NECESSARY.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE ISLAND TERMINALS OVERNIGHT.
SURFACE WINDS WILL START OUT LIGHT OUT OF THE NORTHWEST...TURNING
NORTH AND INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS BEFORE DAWN.
