Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 848 PM EST Fri Dec 13 2019
DISCUSSION. CURRENTLY. Winds across the Keys have been dead calm or near calm for the past several hours. Key West radar is displaying an area of showers with embedded thunderstorms in the Southeastern Gulf outside of our waters, but otherwise nothing of note. A fairly dry boundary layer was found on the station evening sounding, but no subsidence inversions. Full column PWATs were just over an inch. A fairly dense layer of cirrus can be seen on satellite imagery overhead, with ASOS stations occasionally picking up some CU around 3kft.
SHORT TERM. The showers and storms just outside our Gulf waters are of interest, as they are progressing eastward fairly briskly. However, the genesis of this area is likely a localized convergence line, and may not maintain integrity as it moves towards the east. Otherwise, overall conditions will remain fairly static overnight and up to noon tomorrow.
MARINE. Southwest to westerly light to gentle breezes will persist overnight, and begin to increase to moderate after daybreak on Saturday. Only isolated showers or light rain are expected overnight and through the day on Saturday.
AVIATION. VFR conditions will prevail at both the Key West and Marathon terminals overnight and through noon tomorrow. There is a slight chance of brief passing showers producing temporary MVFR conditions, but given the uncertainly in development will advertise this probability as VCSH in the terminal forecasts. If showers do develop near the terminals, it will most likely be after 06Z. Winds will be mainly out of the southwest to west less than 10 knots.

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. |
