KEY MESSAGES
- Light to gentle breezes expected through the remainder of the weekend.
- Mainly dry conditions along with near-normal temperatures expected through early next week.
- Despite recent rainfall this week, moderate drought conditions persist for the entire island chain. These conditions may worsen over the next several days.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS) Issued at 111 PM EDT Sat Mar 21 2026 VFR conditions will prevail at both island terminals through 18z Sunday afternoon, with nil rain chances. Near-surface winds out of the north to northeast will remain sustained at 7 to 10 knots.
MARINE
Issued at 1123 AM EDT Sat Mar 21 2026 There are currently no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect across the Florida Keys coastal waters. From synopsis, light to gentle breezes will prevail into early next week, as ridging weakens the pressure gradient. Along with light to gentle breezes, dry air will limit shower activity.
PREV DISCUSSION
Issued at 359 AM EDT Sat Mar 21 2026 As high pressure continues to be the main feature dominating the weather for the Florida Keys, not much is expected to change over the coming days. Due to the dry air over the area, near nil rain chances are expected and mostly clear skies. As the pressure gradient loses its grip light to gentle winds will stick around for most of the week. This should play out to be a nice first half week but stay tuned for any updates.
