.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 202 PM EDT Mon May 27 2024

Another dry and quiet afternoon for the Florida Keys and should
remain this way through the next few days with light winds. The
weather pattern will start to change as the ridge starts to depart
and troughing starts to move into Florida. Rain chances for the
end of the week will increase to 20% for Thursday night to Friday
night and 30% going into the weekend days. Rain chances could vary
depending on convection on mainland Florida and how much spills
into the Keys. Freshening breezes will creep back in to the
forecast and we could see some relief while dew points slightly
decline causing less humid conditions for next weekend.

.MARINE...
Issued at 202 PM EDT Mon May 27 2024

There are currently no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect
across the Florida Keys coastal waters. From synopsis, high
pressure over the western North Atlantic will maintain light to
gentle southeast to south breezes through Tuesday. Breezes will
surge one more time overnight tonight where breezes may
occasionally become moderate. As the high slides further east into
the Atlantic, breezes will slacken and become variable for
Tuesday night and Wednesday. Another strengthening high pressure
moves across the eastern United States and builds southward
resulting in strengthening northeast to east breezes for late
week. Freshening breezes will return by next weekend.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 202 PM EDT Mon May 27 2024

VFR conditions will prevail at both island terminals through the TAF
period, with near-nil rain and thunder chances. Surface winds will
be light and variable at times, but generally out of the southeast
at 7 to 10 knots.
