.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 946 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024
Saturday is off to a beautiful start this morning along the
Florida Keys as current temperatures are near the 80 degree mark,
and are coupled with dew points in the lower 70s. Easterly
breezes of 10 to 15 mph will continue to keep the air outside from
feeling stagnant, and even with scattered skies outside, there is plenty
of sunshine up and down the island chain. Radar is showing a few
light showers transversing the Lower Keys and nearby waters, but
no significant impacts are anticipated. These are just more of a
nuisance than anything. No changes or updates are needed to the
current forecast at this time.

.MARINE...
Issued at 946 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024
High pressure over the western North Atlantic will
maintain moderate to fresh easterly breezes for the next several
days. Breezes will tend to peak overnight, followed by lulls in
the afternoon.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 946 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024
VFR conditions will prevail at both island terminals through
tomorrow morning. A few weak showers may develop near the terminals
through the afternoon especially at EYW, but confidence in timing
and any impacts are low, so have left VCSH out of the TAFs. Surface
winds will be easterly at 10 to 15 knots, with occasional gusts of
15 to 20 knots.

.CLIMATE...
On this day in 1977, the daily record rainfall of 5.33" was recorded
in Key West. Rainfall records in Key West date back to 1871.
