DISCUSSION

Issued at 1030 PM EDT Thu May 14 2026

A weak surface trough draped across the northwestern Bahamas and the Keys is resulting in gentle to moderate westerly breezes this evening. Much drier air on the back side of the trough, along with weak noses of inhibition is keeping activity stabilized across the area. Shower activity has been non existent across the Keys through the day and evening. The westerly breezes have brought in somewhat more seasonable weather with dew points near 70 and highs in the upper 80s.

The surface trough will shift slightly eastward through the overnight hours, letting breezes relax slightly out of the northwest. This will keep dew points near or slightly below 70, and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Very dry lower to mid levels and some inhibition will persist and preclude mention of showers for the overnight.

MARINE
