Issued at 400am EDT Fri September 29 2023

A weak low level trough is expected to remain north of the Keys region today and gradually pull further away through the weekend. As a result, winds will remain light and mostly out of the east through the weekend. A very early cold front is expected to drive down through Florida and may even reach Keys waters early next week. While a frontal passage is anything but certain, wind are expected to freshen due to building high pressure further north. A period of cautions and possibly even advisories may be required beginning early next week.

Climate
On this day in Keys weather history in 1769, a British ship was wrecked by a tropical cyclone, washing up on Key Largo.
