| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1036pm EST Thu Feb 12 2026 Issued at 1035pm EST Thu Feb 12 2026 Another uneventful night is unfolding in the Florida Keys area. Tonight's 00z sounding measured only 0.70 inches of precipitable water, which is just above the tenth percentile for the day, according to the Storm Prediction Center Climatology records. Therefore it makes sense that cloud coverage has remained very limited, though, patchy fog can be see on satellite just outside of our SE Gulf waters drifting southeast. Temperatures across the island chain are in the upper to mid 60s but should slightly drop through the rest of the night, with some interior locations approaching near 60F. Along the Reef, breezes have continued to be light to gentle and generally northwest to northerly. Overnight into the early morning hours, the Gulf and bayside waters along with portions of the Lower Keys could experience some patchy fog, but as the sun comes up that fog will dissipate rather quickly. No changes were needed for this update as dry air will continue to limit shower activity and cloud coverage, along with light breezes expected through tomorrow. Marine Issued at 1035pm EST Thu Feb 12 2026 No watches, warnings or advisories are currently in effect for the Florida Keys waters. From synopsis, shallow, patchy fog may develop over the bayside waters late tonight and early tomorrow morning until breezes increase. A nebulous pressure pattern across the Florida Keys coastal waters will support light and at times variables winds through Friday night. High pressure diving off the Mid- Atlantic coastline will interact with a developing area of low pressure near the ARK- LA- TEX region by Saturday and Saturday night, supporting freshening east to southeast breezes. The low pressure system will drive a frontal boundary through the Keys marine zones Sunday night into Monday, with gentle winds clocking around to the northwest in its wake for early next week.
