A SLIGHTLY ACTIVE MORNING FOR PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA KEYS TODAY.
KBYX DETECTS SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT HAS BEEN WAXING AND WANING IN
THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF THE MIDDLE KEYS, MAINLY NEAR LAYTON, AND A
STRONGER CELL CURRENTLY OUT IN THE DEEP GULF PRODUCING OCCASIONAL
LIGHTNING STRIKES. APART FROM THOSE AREAS NOT TOO MUCH HAS
FLOURISHED AS OF YET. TEMPERATURES ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN ARE
CREEPING INTO THE UPPER 80S AS THINGS HEAT UP. GOES-19 SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THAT BEYOND THE AREAS WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY, CLOUD
COVERAGE IS MINIMAL ALLOWING FOR IT TO GET PRETTY STEAMY OUTSIDE.
WINDS ACROSS THE REEF ARE SOUTHEASTERLY AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY, WE ARE EXPECTING A SIMILAR PATTERN TO WHAT
WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH OCCASIONAL EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS, A
MAJORITY OF WHICH WILL BE OVER OUR WATERS, AND SOUTHEASTERLY
GENTLE TO MODERATE BREEZES. NO CHANGES WERE NECESSARY TO THE
CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1104 AM EDT SUN MAY 25 2025
NO WATCHES, WARNINGS, OR ADVISORIES ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT IN
THE FLORIDA KEYS WATERS. FROM SYNOPSIS, HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS
ENTRENCHED OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS, MEANDERING AND FLUCTUATING IN STRENGTH SLIGHTLY DAY TO DAY.
THIS WILL LEAD TO MAINLY GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
BREEZES, OCCASIONALLY BECOMING SOUTHEASTERLY. IN THE STRAITS OF
FLORIDA, BREEZES MAY OCCASIONALLY BECOME MODERATE TO FRESH.
BREEZES WILL PEAK LATE EVENING INTO THE MORNING HOURS AND LULL IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENINGS.
AVIATION
(15Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1104 AM EDT SUN MAY 25 2025
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT BOTH EYW AND MTH THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. LIGHT SHOWERS WILL WAX AND WANE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
RESULTING IN VCSH BEING INCLUDED AT MTH TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY NEARING
SHOWERS. IF DIRECT IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED AT THAT TIME TEMPOS WILL
BE INCLUDED. NEAR SURFACE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEASTERLY AT NEAR 10
KNOTS.
