Marine
Issued at 340am EDT Thu Mar 30 2023 A decaying frontal boundary will continue to move southward through the Florida Peninsula and the Key West coastal waters today. An area of high pressure will dive in behind the front, resulting in freshening northeast to east today through Friday night. Breezes will veer to the east to southeast then slacken Saturday night where they will remain for the start of next week. Breezes may freshen again in the extended as another high pressure moves into the Atlantic Ocean reinforcing the North Atlantic high.

Climate
In 2003, what would have been the warmest March ever was disrupted by a strong cold front on the evening of the 30th, which brought behind it high and low temperatures the next day (the 31st) of only 65F and 59F, respectively. The month ended as the second-warmest March ever in Key West. Temperature records date back to 1872 at Key West.
