| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 159pm EDT Monday Jun 22 2026 Issued at 1041am EDT Monday Jun 22 2026 Available KBYX and KAMX local Doppler radars highlighted the leading edge of a wave of Saharan dust in the eastern Straits of Florida this morning. Scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms along the leading edge of the dry, dusty air mass have since collapsed with diurnal boundary layer mixing. With ample solar insolation, temperatures are already in the upper 80s at this late morning hour across the Island Chain. The Saharan dust, combined with light to gentle southeasterlies, will limit additional shower and thunderstorm development for the balance of the first period. The inherited warm, mainly dry, and seasonably muggy short-term forecast is on track, with no changes required for this late morning update package. Marine Issued at 1041am EDT Monday Jun 22 2026 There are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect for the Florida Keys coastal waters. From synopsis, broad, weak high pressure stretching from the Gulf Basin, across the Florida Peninsula, and into the central North Atlantic will flux in strength over the next several days. As a result, expect both wind speeds and direction to be primarily mesoscale driven and at times chaotic. By Wednesday, the high will begin to gradually build and allow for a slow freshening of east to southeast breezes. NOAA Key West FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GM...None. |
