Issued at 927 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 We could copy in the discussion from last night, but we decided we will type out a new one! Conditions along the island chain are calm again with current temperatures near 70, and dew points in the lower 60s. Our noteworthy cold spot is Big Pine Key where the temperature observations reads 62F! GOES-19 IR imagery shows some low cloud cover to the south and east of the island chain, but most island communities have clear skies directly overhead. The 00Z KKEY sounding from this evening still shows a significant amount of dry air in the vertical profile. The low level relative humidity was calculated to be 54%, and the mid level was 15%. With virtually no chance of rain, and light breezes expected to continue, no changes or updates are needed this evening. && .MARINE... Issued at 927 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 There are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect for the Florida Keys local waters. From synopsis, high pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. will continue to move southward throughout the rest of 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 for the middle and latter part of next week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 927 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period at both island terminals. Surface winds out of the northeast to east will be variable at times, and any instances of a cross wind will be light and short lived. Weather conditions will remain dry. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Key West 78 70 78 69 / 0 0 0 0 Marathon 77 68 77 67 / 0 0 0 0 && .KEY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None.
