986 FXUS62 KKEY 151525 AFDKEY Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1025 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... -Light to gentle breezes will continue through the weekend. -Dry air will limit shower development through early next week. -High temperatures will warm to near 80F for much of the work week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1018 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 The 12z morning sounding at KEY sampled a very stable tropospheric profile, with virtual no convective potential instability and ample inhibition. Advective precipitable water products highlight a very dry moisture field upstream, as continental high pressure centered over the state of Georgia continues to dominate the sensible weather for the Florida Keys. This will limit any cloud cover, let alone showers for the day. The inherited forecast was for mostly sunny skies, nil rain chances, near seasonably warm temperatures. No changes needed. && .MARINE... Issued at 1018 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 Issued at 442 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 There are currently no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect across the Florida Keys coastal waters. From synopsis, high pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. will continue to move southward over the weekend. This will promote light to gentle breezes. Due to the weak flow, there may be a period of light and variable breezes Sunday through Monday, mainly in the afternoons. Another high pressure system will traverse across the eastern United States early next week while slowly strengthening. This will allow for freshening northeast to east breezes through mid week. && .AVIATION... (15Z TAFS) Issued at 1018 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 VFR conditions will prevail at both EYW and MTH through the TAF period. Dry air will limit any shower development for today. North to northeast light to gentle breezes will become northeast to east later this afternoon and evening. && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None.
