There are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect for the Florida Keys coastal waters. Breezes have trended downwards since this afternoon and moderate breezes are prevailing across the Keys coastal waters. Further slackening is expected overnight and into Sunday as a high pressure in place over the southeastern U.S. pushes off of the coast and moves over the Atlantic. This will also cause breezes to veer to the east to southeast temporarily. By Monday, light to gentle breezes will return to a more northeasterly direction again as new high pressure builds in over the southeastern U.S. again. Breezes are expected to freshen again by midweek. Areal coverage of any shower activity that may form will fluctuate each day, but the overall pattern could support on and off showers with occasional isolated thunderstorms each day.

Climate
On this day in 1987, Tropical Storm Floyd intensified into a category 1 Hurricane as it moved east-northeast between Cuba and the Keys. It traveled along the length of Keys causing only minimal damage (with the exception of an F1 tornado near Rock Harbor on the 11th), with the eye passing directly over Key West bringing about an hour of "total calm" to the city.
