GMZ005 Synopsis For Keys Coastal Waters From Ocean Reef To Dry Tortugas 1024 Pm Edt Sat Nov 2 2024

Synopsis - A high pressure system over the eastern united states and north atlantic, reinforced by another high developing over the northeastern united states, and a deepening low expected to move west northwestward through the northwestern caribbean sea, will drive increasing easterly breezes through midweek. There still remains some uncertainty with the development and track of this low, which will likely have large impacts on local winds and convective coverage.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1026 PM EDT Sat Nov 2 2024

A pleasant early November evening is in progress across the Florida Keys, with mostly clear skies, temperatures around 80 degrees, dewpoints in the lower 70s, and northeast to east winds of 15 to 20 mph. Radars detect only isolated showers east of the Upper Keys and over the distant Straits of Florida. Surface analysis depicts high pressure sprawling over the Eastern United States, with the Keys in a fairly tight pressure gradient between this high and broad low pressure over the western Caribbean.
Aloft, deep ridging is centered over the South Atlantic coast, north Florida, and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The 00Z Key West sounding sampled a dry and stable airmass, with PW of 1.20 inches (near the 25th percentile for the date), multiple inversions between 950-650 mb, and very dry mid levels. Recent MIMIC-TPW and GOES-TPW satellite imagery shows even lower estimated PWs, near one inch, pressing west from Andros Island toward the Keys.

Overnight, we expect little change, with mainly dry and breezy conditions continuing. The dry airmass immediately upstream should keep shower activity around the Keys isolated at best, as shown by the latest CAM guidance. The existing 10 percent PoPs are on track, and no changes are planned this evening. Otherwise, expect mostly clear to partly cloudy skies to prevail, with temps dropping only a couple more degrees from current readings into the upper 70s by morning.

MARINE
Issued at 1026 PM EDT Sat Nov 2 2024

Evening observations show ENE winds of 17 to 20 knots along the reef and at Long Key C-MAN, with seas at Satan Shoal running between 3.5 and 4 feet. Small Craft Advisories remain posted for the Straits of Florida and Hawk Channel, with Small Craft Exercise Caution headlines elsewhere. No significant changes are planned for the late evening forecast issuance. From the synopsis, a high pressure system over the eastern United States and North Atlantic, reinforced by another high developing over the northeastern United States, and a deepening low expected to move west northwestward through the northwestern Caribbean Sea, will drive increasing easterly breezes through midweek. There still remains some uncertainty with the development and track of this low, which will likely have large impacts on local winds and convective coverage.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 1026 PM EDT Sat Nov 2 2024

VFR conditions will prevail through Sunday afternoon at the EYW and MTH terminals, with only isolated/brief showers possible.
Surface winds will remain from the ENE at 9 to 14 knots, with frequent gusts of 15 to 20 knots.

KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
FL...None.
GM...Small Craft Advisory until 5 AM EDT Sunday for GMZ042>044- 052>055-072>075.
