Marine
Issued at 1047am EST Sat Dec 14 2024 A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the Hawk Channel and Straits of Florida. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution in the remaining waters of the Florida Keys as breezes freshen once again later today.

From synopsis, fresh to strong northeast to east winds will continue across the Florida Keys coastal waters through the weekend, as a large area of high pressure moves slowly eastward across the Eastern Seaboard. The high will shift into the western North Atlantic during the work week, resulting in slackening breezes. The next cold front is forecast to push through the Florida Keys coastal waters late on Thursday or early Friday.

Climate
On this day in 2010, the record low temperature of 50F and 44F was recorded at Key West and Marathon, respectively. Temperature records for Key West date back to 1872, and temperature records for Marathon date back to 1950.
