DISCUSSION
Issued at 252 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025 As this nice day continues, we can take a minute to appreciate the Earth and its beauty! Scattered cloud coverage still resides across most of our CWA making for a pretty view across the water.
Temperatures on the island chain are in the lower 80s with dew points in the mid 60s. Along the Reef, winds have slackened and are now being recorded at 10 to 15 knots.
Winds are expected to continue on the trend of decreasing during the days and increasing during the nights for the next few days while the surface high, currently located north of the Bahamas, loses steam. Slight moisture will creep back into our area as the high gives room allowing for us to increase to slight chance of rain from Thursday into the extended range. But this high slacking is only supposed to last a few days before we will see it restrengthen and in result winds will once again freshen. For the time being, it looks like it might hold just below Small Craft Advisory levels but Thursday night into Friday might be the best time for it to make it to those fresh to strong breezes needed to issue one. Stay tuned.
MARINE
Issued at 252 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025 No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for the Florida Keys waters. From synopsis, easterly breezes will be generally moderate, with winds slightly increasing over the night periods and slightly decreasing during the days as the surface high near the Bahamas wobbles. Later this week, the high will restrengthen once again making for another round of fresh breezes as early as Thursday.
AVIATION
(15Z TAFS)
Issued at 252 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025 VFR conditions will prevail at both EYW and MTH through tonight and into tomorrow , but occasional observations of MVFR may happen at times due to SCT to BKN skies near FL035. East to southeast winds of 10 to 15 knots will become easterly tonight.
KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
