Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1031 AM EDT Tue Mar 31 2020

DISCUSSION. Data from the Key West morning radiosonde balloon indicated a deep layer of dry and stable air above a shallow layer of maritime tropical air near the surface. Current radar scans are again void of precipitation echoes. Current air temperatures in most Keys island communities are in the lower 80s, with dewpoint temperatures in the lower 70s.

We offer no significant changes to prognostic reasoning at this time. Expect continued mostly sunny, warm, and humid conditions this afternoon with highs in the mid 80s, and only a slight chance for a shower late.

MARINE. No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Florida Keys coastal waters at this time. Gentle to moderate south breezes today will turn west overnight in advance of a weakening cold front. The front will approach the Florida Keys by daybreak Wednesday, preceded by a line of broken rain showers. Winds will shift from west to northwest following the frontal passage, with a brief wind surge, possibly approaching Small Craft Advisory criterion for a time Wednesday afternoon or evening.

AVIATION. Through 01/12Z, prevailing VFR conditions are expected at both EYW and MTH. A broken line of rain showers likely will move from WNW to ESE across the Florida Keys between about 01/09Z and 01/13Z, with a slight chance for brief, sub-VFR conditions at either EYW or MTH. A wind shift from 300-330 degrees is likely in association with a frontal passage immediately thereafter.

I do not believe this site is subject to CCPA but I am doing what I can to follow the guidelines anyway. Disclaimer: The information on this web site has not been checked for accuracy. It is for entertainment purposes only and should be independently verified before using for any other reason. There are five sources. 1) Documents and manuals from a variety of sources. These have not been checked for accuracy and in many cases have not even been read by anyone associated with L-36.com. I have no idea of they are useful or accurate, I leave that to the reader. 2) Articles others have written and submitted.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerous of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
