| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1019am EDT Sunday September 19 2021 Surface analysis depicts a split ridge pattern. The ridge associated with the Bermuda High is cut off on its westward extent by what is now Post- tropical Cyclone Odette, as another high pressure centered over Canada gradually strengthens and shifts eastward. Skies are mostly sunny across the Florida Keys and KBYX radar is only detecting isolated showers in the Straits of Florida 20 to 60 nm offshore. The 12z sounding at KEY detected a moisture-rich low-level environment with light northeast to east flow. A weak cloud line emerged late morning yesterday with waterspouts, and the environment appears even more favorable today for this development. The northeast steering flow will also favor any convection in South Florida propagating southwestward towards the Keys late this afternoon and evening. Inherited 30% Probability of Precipitation (slightly above guidance), and given the mesoscale nature of convection today, this seems appropriate, and no changes are planned to the forecast at this time. Marine There are no watches, warnings, or advisories currently in effect for the coastal waters of the Florida Keys. From synopsis, a ridge will continue to build westward across the Florida Peninsula this afternoon, bringing gentle northeast to east breezes. Breezes will peak and lull tonight through Wednesday, before becoming light and variable Wednesday night through Friday. Climate On this day in 1963, the daily record rainfall of 4.23 inches was recorded in Key West. Precipitation records date back to 1871.
