Small Craft Advisories are in effect for the outer Gulf waters. A late season front is slowly approaching from the northwest and will push from northwest to southeast across all of the Florida Keys coastal waters by this afternoon. Given the timing of the frontal passage, fresh to strong breezes will develop by mid to late morning across the deep Gulf waters and spread across the remaining waters and Small Craft Conditions expected by this afternoon across the remaining waters. Breezes will begin to veer back to the east and decrease Friday night through Saturday, and moderate east to southeast breezes will prevail through Monday night.

Climate
In 1994, the daily record warm low temperature of 78F was last recorded in Key West. Temperature records date back to 1873.
