| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1003pm EST Sunday Mar 7 2021 Deep trough axis is now moving off the U.S. east coast, with surface high pressure centered near Delta region of Mississippi and western Tennessee. Fresh to strong and divergent northerlies were noted over the southern Florida Peninsula, with southwest- moving cloud streets heralding the shift to north-northeast winds. Speeds have been steady either side of 20 knots across the northwest Channel and Sand Key area, but have increased to 20 to 25 knots along the Middle and Upper Keys reef with oscillations from north to northeast. Both AMX and BYX 88Ds showed a stream of low-topped showers from just offshore Carysfort Reef through Elbow Cay of the Cay Sal Bank. Temperatures were near 70 with dew points in the upper 50s to near 60. North to northeast winds will increase over the islands overnight as an airmass now falling through the mid 60s over metro south Florida passes over lower to mid 70s Florida Bay water temperatures. No appreciable shift in the low level confluence off the Upper Keys is expected, with showers remaining offshore. No changes to the public forecast is anticipated this evening. Marine A Small Craft Advisory is currently in effect for all of the nearshore and offshore coastal waters of the Florida Keys. Increasing strong north to northeast breezes are overspreading all Florida Keys coastal waters this evening. A prolonged period of strong NE-E breezes will persist through mid-week before diminishing somewhat toward the end of the workweek. East breezes look to more significantly slacken for the weekend.
