PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
904 PM EST SUN DEC 29 2024
..WET DAY IN THE FLORIDA KEYS
AN EXTREMELY ACTIVE, LATE-DECEMBER DAY FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS TODAY
WAS THE RESULT OF STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT, DEEP MOISTURE,
AND THE EQUATORWARD EXTENSION OF A LIFTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER
THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. THIS COMBINATION PROVIDED SUPOORT FOR
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STRONGER EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
FLORIDA KEYS AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.
RAINFALL TOTALS WERE GENERALLY IN THE RANGE OF ONE TO THREE INCHES,
THOUGH THE MIDDLE KEYS SAW WIDESPREAD THREE TO SIX INCHES. PARTS OF
GRASSY KEY, DUCK KEY, AND LONG KEY RECEIVED RAINFALL TOTALS AROUND
SEVEN TO NINE INCHES.
THE TABLES BELOW CONTAIN RAINFALL REPORTS FROM ACROSS THE FLORIDA
KEYS, COLLECTED FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES WITH VARYING EQUIPMENT
AND EXPOSURES. WE THANK ALL VOLUNTEER WEATHER OBSERVERS FOR THEIR
DEDICATION. NOT ALL DATA LISTED ARE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL.
