AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
742 AM EDT MON MAY 20 2013

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE KEY WEST AND MARATHON TERMINALS
THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE EASTERN FLORIDA STRAITS AND THE UPPER KEYS...BUT IT SEEMS UNLIKELY
THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THE TERMINALS. FROM MID
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO
SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR A CLOUD LINE TO DEVELOP OVER OR JUST TO THE
NORTH OF THE KEYS ISLAND CHAIN. HAVE MAINTAINED A VCSH FOR BOTH
TERMINALS AFTER 20Z TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY...BUT THERE
REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER CONVECTION WILL DIRECTLY
IMPACT EITHER TERMINAL. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE EAST TO
SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS.
