Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 234 PM EST Thu Dec 8 2016 .DISCUSSION... .CURRENTLY... An upper low is now moving eastward across the Great Lakes with several short wave troughs moving into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. A surge of Artic air is trekking southeast across the Mississippi Valley. With the Artic air, high pressure is building southward across the Central Plains and heading for the northern Gulf of Mexico. An old shear zone is stretching across South Florida and the Keys this afternoon, spawning isolated showers over the coastal waters surrounding mainly the middle and upper Keys. These showers are nearly stationary and with the light winds over the area, cloud lines are beginning to form. .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)... A cold front will cross the Gulf of Mexico leading the Artic surge southward reaching the Florida Keys tonight. The front will weaken while crossing the warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and the associated trough will lift out to the northeast. The Artic air and high pressure will build in over the eastern United States overnight. The trough lifts out and support for the front will lift out with it. Cold air will infiltrate South Florida and the Keys as the high pressure moves eastward and CAD pushes southward along the ridge of the Appalachians and down the spine of the Florida Peninsula. The cold air over the warmer waters surrounding the Keys will help enhance the wind surge overnight. The ridge over the eastern United States will continue to move eastward through the weekend. Will keep chance of showers in for through the weekend ahead of a trough moving through the Central Plains Sunday night. The leading high pressure will migrate over the Atlantic through Monday, resulting in north winds overnight and Friday, gradually veering to the east through Sunday. && .LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... A trough will move northeast through the Ohio Valley and the eastern Great Lakes Monday night. The high pressure over the western Atlantic will move further east, but the ridge axis will extend across central Florida. Several more short wave troughs will cross the eastern United States through Thursday. Until then, winds will peak and lull with waxing and waning high pressure over the Deep South. The trough on Thursday will be a deep latitudinal trough with a large area of high pressure following in its wake. A cold front will cross the eastern Gulf of Mexico Thursday night and Friday with another robust high pressure building over the East Coast States. Expect winds to surge Thursday night into Friday. && .MARINE... A small craft advisory is expected tonight starting in the southeastern Gulf waters, and will stretch through the entire Keys Coastal Waters through Friday morning. A cold Artic airmass will move over the eastern United States overnight ahead of a cold front currently approaching South Florida and the Keys. Winds will increase very quickly overnight to 20 to 25 knots out of the north. with the warm waters surrounding the Keys combined with the cold air moving south, expecting periods of 25 to 30 knots possible Friday peaking Saturday night. Breezes will decrease on Sunday through Sunday night as the next trough moves over the eastern United States, but there will be peaks and lulls as the axis of high pressure over the western Atlantic holds on to Central Florida through Wednesday. && .AVIATION... Tonight, a cold front will move towards the Keys, but an elevated amount of lower level moisture combined with lift will allow for development of scattered showers across the KEYW & KMTH terminal operations areas. Surface winds will average from 010-030 degrees aoa 7 to 10 knots thru 00z, then becoming 360 degrees aoa 12 to 14 knots and gusty thru is evening, then increasing to 15 to 20 knots with gusts over 25 knots, by 0900 Zulu, so pilots also should anticipate significant crosswinds. Periodic MVFR/IFR cigs and/or vis likely, especially in any showers that manage to impact either/both terminals, so amendments may be issued. && .CLIMATE... On this date in Keys Weather History, 1986, 6.66 inches of rain fell at the Key West International Airport. This set the daily record on December 8th, and the record for wettest December day ever for Key West. Rainfall records for Key West date back to 1871. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
