| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1036pm EST Sunday Dec 5 2021 A tranquil evening was observed across the Keys with a few mid to upper-level clouds. The fair and stable weather pattern is forecast to continue during the overnight hours due to limited moisture content and a significant synoptic feature that will induce lift. Unsurprisingly, the KKEY 00Z sounding depicted an intense inversion layer. The layer has been steadfast over the local area since late last week. Although the ridging will still hold, there could be a meager uptick in shower activity as low level moisture becomes trapped underneath the ridge. At this time, the likely place for shower development is the Florida Straits. A frontal boundary will shift into the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys tomorrow and cause hazardous weather. The trough will continue.nue to advance eastward through Tuesday, before settling near the Gulf Coast. Marine There are no watches, warnings, or advisories currently in effect for the coastal waters of the Florida Keys. From synopsis, A ridge of high pressure will hold over the area through tomorrow before splintering. Winds will become light to gentle from the northeast through Monday evening. Breezes will turn to the southeast to south by the middle of the week, and there could be periods where winds become light and variable during the afternoon as a frontal boundary nears northern Florida. Breezes will turn back to the east by Thursday as high pressure rebuilds across Florida, then gradually freshen by the weekend. High amplitude tides will persist over the next couple of days. The tidal range will remain near 3 feet for portions of the Lower Keys. Moored vessels should allow for more slack in their spring lines to account for the tidal cycles, and boaters should plan for less clearance under fixed bridges at times of high tide. Climate On this day in 1876, both the daily record cold high of 60F and the record low of 45F were recorded. Temperature records in Key West date back to 1872.
