Area Discussion for - Key West, FL
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kkey 230236 afdkey area forecast discussion national weather service key west fl 1036 pm edt Thu aug 22 2019 Discussion The low-level subtropical ridge centered just southeast of bermuda reaches west across northern florida. Nestled along the southern flank of the ridge, just out of reach of the 20 to 25 knots of wnw shear, is a broad area of low pressure pressing west away from andros. Radar loops reveal a distinct rotation between andros and the upper keys. Convection near the center of circulation has been lack-luster, although the latest scans reveal a meager flurry of thunderstorms. The shear which awaits this system as it lumbers northwest will limit its ability to organize through the short- term. See the tropical section below for more details from the nhc. Nevertheless, the cyclonic envelope will spread across the island chain overnight, with the best chances for squalls and a few thunderstorms across the upper keys. Winds at the reef tract adjacent to the upper keys are higher than expected (10 to 15 knots) over the past few hours, so we have made adjustments accordingly. No other changes are needed at this time. Marine No current watches, warnings, or advisories. The near-term forecast (through the next 48 hours) will depend on the future evolution of the disturbance near andros island. Winds will be highly variable on Friday as the low pressure area slides northwest through southern florida. From synopsis, a broad area of low pressure just west of andros island will move slowly northwestward tonight and cross the florida keys and south florida Friday and Friday night. The trough is expected to lift northward and away from our region Saturday and Saturday night. Thereafter, a high pressure cell over cuba will gradually lift northward into the straits of florida, then into south florida. Aviation |
Widely scattered showers are moving towards the south and southwest in the vicinity of the island chain. As such, have mention of vcsh for both the eyw and mth terminals for the overnight.VFR conditions will be the prevailing conditions, though subVFR conditions are possible due to passing showers an possible thunderstorms. Convection aside, winds will be light and primarily out of the northeast. Tropical Satellite and surface observations show that a broad area of low pressure has formed just northwest of andros island in the central bahamas. This system continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms that extend eastward over the western atlantic for a few hundred miles. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for additional development during the next several days, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early next week while the system moves near the coast of east-central florida and then offshore of the southeast united states coast. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible over portions of the central and northwest bahamas, and the east-central and southeast florida peninsula during the next few days.

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. |
