DEEP LAYERED RIDGING REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE
SURFACE THROUGH MID LEVEL RIDGE OVERHEAD. THIS EVENINGS SOUNDING
INDICATED LESS LOW LEVEL INHIBITION COMPARED TO 24 HOURS. HOWEVER,
PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAINS WELL BELOW NORMAL AT 1.15 INCHES WITH
LARGE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS NOT FAR OFF THE SURFACE. AS A RESULT,
THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL CLOUD COVER IN THE KEYS,
AND EVEN LESS SHOWER ACTIVITY. SURFACE CONDITIONS ARE SEASONABLY
SULTRY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S AND DEW POINTS PUSHING
INTO THE UPPER 70S.
RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WITH
THAT SAID, AS WAS THE CASE LAST NIGHT, GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
LOWER LEVEL INHIBITION WILL WEAKEN FURTHER. THIS IS PRESUMABLY DUE
TO THE MESOSCALE FLOW SHIFTING TO A MORE CONFLUENT SETUP OFTEN
SEEN DURING THE NOCTURNAL HOURS. CONSEQUENTLY, WILL HOLD ON TO
DIME POPS. EXPECT BREEZES TO REMAIN STEADY OUT OF THE EAST TO
SOUTHEAST AND KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S WITH
DEW POINTS HOLDING IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1017 PM EDT WED MAY 28 2025

SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZES ON KEYS WATERS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. HAVE ONLY MADE COUPLE OF SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO FIRST PERIOD
WIND TRANSITIONS IN THE EVENING MARINE UPDATE.
