Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Key West FL
938 PM EDT SUN JUL 17 2016

.DISCUSSION...
.CURRENTLY...
KBYX radar shows scattered showers across the Straits east of the
middle and upper Keys. Winds are east 10-15 knots over the island
chain and out to the Reef and 15-20 knots offshore.

.SHORT TERM...
00Z KKEY sounding shows a seasonable moist...unstable...and uncapped
atmosphere in place with a PW of 1.92 inches and LI of -7. A deep
easterly flow remains in place around the periphery of a deep layer
ridge which extends from the southern states east to Bermuda. Have
raised rain chances slightly overnight based on current radar trends.
Outside of that...no changes were made to the existing forecast.

&&

.MARINE...
Will hold off on raising Advisory flags for the first period based
on current observations. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution across
the eastern waters and the Straits with winds of 15-20 knots and seas
building to 4-6 feet. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed
for these areas Monday and Monday night.

&&

.AVIATION...
Throughout the remainder of the TAF period, VFR conditions are
expected to remain at both the EYW and MTH terminals. Included a
vicinity showers in the TAFs due to residing convection in the area
and expecting winds to stay East between 10 to 15 mph. Amendments
will be issued as necessary for any sub-VFR conditions expected to
impact the airport.

&&

.KEY Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
