...Strong winds and cold temperatures this weekend...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the Florida Keys and
adjacent coastal waters.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

No hazardous weather is expected today.

A powerful cold front is forecast to blast through the Keys
waters late tonight, followed by very strong northerly winds. A
Gale Watch is in effect for late tonight and Saturday for all
Keys coastal waters except Florida Bay, due to northwest to north
winds of 25 to 30 kt with frequent gusts around 35 kt. Seas will
build to 5 to 8 feet in the deep waters of the southeastern Gulf
of Mexico.

Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected late tonight in
Florida Bay, with northwest to north winds increasing to near 25
knots.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

Very strong northwest to north winds will continue on Saturday,
with Small Craft Advisory conditions expected and gale force wind
gusts possible. Seas will build to 7 to 10 feet in the Straits of
Florida and the deep waters of the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue across all Keys
waters Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Temperatures dropping into the lower 40s combined with north
winds around 20 mph will produce wind chill values from 30 to 35
degrees in the Upper Keys Saturday night into early Sunday
morning, and a Wind Chill Advisory will likely be needed.

Minimum RHs are forecast to drop to between 30 and 40 percent in
the Upper Keys on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by northwest to
north winds around 20 mph. Very high dispersion is expected on
Saturday as well. Northerly winds will decrease quickly by Sunday
afternoon, but minimum afternoon RHs will drop to between 35 and
45 percent throughout the Keys. These conditions will lead to
increased fire danger.

Small Craft Advisories may be needed from Monday night through
Thursday, due to fresh to strong east to southeast winds.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated.
