| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 1053pm EST Wednesday Dec 31 2025 Issued at 1053pm EST Wednesday Dec 31 2025 Another quiet post-frontal night across the Florida Keys. High pressure moving across the Gulf Basin is maintaining a northwest to north wind over the island chain and surrounding coastal waters. Tonight winds are lighter than yesterday, but continued cold air advection means that overnight lows will be a tad colder than last night. If heading out for New Year's celebrations, make sure to have a light jacket handy, just in case. Otherwise, radar continues to be void of any precipitation. Marine Issued at 1053pm EST Wednesday Dec 31 2025 Gentle to moderate northwest to north breezes will continue for the overnight and into early Thursday morning. A minor nocturnal surge is possible across the waters immediately downwind of the mainland. This may result in a brief period of moderate to fresh breezes across the easternmost Straits of Florida and Hawk Channel waters. Confidence is still too low to make any updates to the coastal waters forecast at this time. Otherwise, an approaching high pressure from the central Gulf Basin will lead to generally slackening breezes through the end of the week and into the weekend. Watching for a weak frontal passage Sunday evening with winds returning from the north. NOAA Key West FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GM...None. |
