.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1046 PM EST Sun Nov 24 2024

Another quiet night across the Florida Keys. Unlike last night,
however, there are a couple of differences. The first is the
position of the surface high. It has shifted further east and now
is centered northeast of the Bahamas. This is maintaining a
northeast to east wind across the island chain. This northeast
wind is keeping us a little warmer than 24 hours ago. The second
is that we have an upper level trough sitting across the eastern
Gulf of Mexico. This is pushing in moisture in the mid to upper
levels in the form of clouds. All of this was well observed in
this evening sounding.

No changes needed or planned for this forecast update.
Temperatures have fallen to around 70 degrees and the wind
direction will keep temperatures near steady through the
overnight. That being said, a degree or two drop could still occur
if winds weaken at any point through the night.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1046 PM EST Sun Nov 24 2024

Gentle to moderate breezes will prevail overnight
across the nearshore waters. Expect sustained northeasterly to
easterly breezes while a broad high pressure system sets up over
the southeastern United States. A period of isolated showers is
possible on Tuesday, primarily over the Florida Straits, despite
the deep layers of dry air and near-nil shower chances across the
nearshore waters through Thursday.

Issued at 1046 PM EST Sun Nov 24 2024

Mid and high level clouds will stream in from the southwest,
however, VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period.
