792 FXUS62 KKEY 141526 AFDKEY Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1126 AM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE, AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1125 AM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025 Shower activity is currently waning over the CWA with only a cluster of light showers in the deep Gulf waters, that is moving southwesterly. Upper-level clouds fill most of the area seen on GOES-19 Satelitte imagery. Even with mostly cloudy skies, temperatures have still been able to warm up this morning now in the mid 80s. Along the Reef, winds are light and variable. This morning`s 12z KKEY sounding calculated an in-house waterspout index of 50% so although none have been reported as of yet, there is a chance those could be seen later this afternoon. Later this afternoon, CAMs suggests a majority of shower and thunderstorm activity will come from spillage off the mainland effecting the Upper Keys, but with ample moisture and CAPE, the CWA as a whole cannot be ruled out for the occasional thunderstorm, which would bring gusty winds and cloud- to-ground lightning strikes. Outside of convection, winds are expected to stay light and variable through tonight. No changes were necessary to the current forecast package. && .MARINE... Issued at 1125 AM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025 No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently in effect in the Florida Keys. From synopsis, weak low pressure tries to develop in the vicinity of Florida heading through the first half of the week. Initially, the Keys will be on the southern fringe in a col region resulting in mainly variable breezes through tonight. As the weak low pressure area shifts to the west and high pressure builds in behind, breezes will freshen becoming southeast to south at first, before becoming east to southeast for mid to late week. Also, expect increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms through the middle part of the week. && .AVIATION... (15Z TAFS) Issued at 1125 AM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025 VFR conditions will prevail at both EYW and MTH through the TAF period.
