| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 518am EDT Sat Oct 3 2026 Issued at 517am EDT Sat Oct 3 2026 A much less eventful night unfolded for the Florida Keys last night. Isolated showers have been popping up in various locations throughout the distant Straits and nearshore waters but nothing that has amounted to much. Temperatures along the island chain are in the mid 80s with dew points in the mid to upper 70s making for another muggy morning. Along the Reef, marine locations are recording east to southeast winds at near 15 knots. These moderate east to southeast breezes should start to gradually decrease throughout the day as Atlantic High Pressure settles. A relief from the large amounts of rain we've experienced over the last few days is expected as rain chances settle back to near normal for this time of year over the next few days. Later this week, more moisture could push into the area bringing another period of higher rain chances by mid week. Marine Issued at 517am EDT Sat Oct 3 2026 A Coastal Flood Statement is in effect for all of the Florida Keys islands. From synopsis, atlantic high pressure offshore of the southeastern U.S. will remain in place. This feature will maintain moderate east to southeasterly breezes initially across the local waters. In addition, relatively drier conditions will settle in for the weekend. However, an additional push of moisture may come by the middle of next week. Either way, some showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the forecast period. NOAA Key West FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GM...None. |
