| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Key West FL 155pm EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Issued at 410am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 The synoptic pattern shifted little from yesterday's analysis. A tropical disturbance is over the Bay of Campeche and is on track to move inland onto Eastern Mexico. High pressure over the Atlantic shifted further east. A very deep mid latitude trough continues to deepen over the Canadian provinces of Nunavut and Ontario. These features are primed to keep the Atlantic high weak and maintain broad lower pressure over the eastern United States through the start of next week. Across the Florida Keys, this means light to gentle breezes and sinking air aloft. Plus, deterministic models are hinting at a more pronounced SAL (Saharan Air Layer) approaching the Keys next week. Unfortunately, these features are very unlikely to do anything to lower the surface dew point, and model guidance resolves mid 70s dew points throughout the week. The takeaway is that there is high confidence temperatures and heat indices are going to increase next week. Lighter breezes also mean the air may become more stagnant, particularly around the larger islands. Remember to stay hydrated, take breaks, and prepare to deal with the heat. Marine Issued at 1010am EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 There are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect across the Florida Keys. From synopsis, light to gentle east to southeasterly breezes will persist across the Florida Keys tonight. The combination of a well- developed mid-latitude trough over the eastern United States and a weak disturbance over the Bay of Campeche weakened the ridge over the Caribbean Sea. Breezes are on track to veer southeast to south late in the weekend and early next week. NOAA Key West FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. GM...None. |
