New DISCUSSION, MARINE, AVIATION

DISCUSSION
Issued at 954 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

A North Atlantic surface ridge stretches west southwestward across the far southeastern United States and Florida. This is maintaining gentle to moderate easterly breezes across the Keys and surrounding waters. Lower to mid level ridging remains near by and is helping in providing a stable and fairly dry atmosphere.
This evenings sounding indicated a very strong subsidence inversion based around 900 mb. Surface dew points are modest in the mid 60s with temperatures near 80. Satellite imagery through the evening depicted a very stable closed cell stratocumulus cloud field.

No synoptic changes are expected overnight. Ridging will remain dominant and maintain stable conditions. Expect winds to remain gentle to moderate out of the east. This steady flow will result in overnight lows settling in the mid to upper 70s with dew points remaining in the mid 60s. The rather low and strong synoptically forced inversion will preclude mention of showers.

MARINE
Issued at 954 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

An Atlantic surface ridge will stretch across the Florida Peninsula overnight and maintain moderate easterly breezes on all Keys waters. Only minor changes made in the evening marine update.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 954 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

VFR conditions will prevail at the island terminals through the overnight period. Surface winds will be gentle to moderate out of the east.
