.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1050 AM EDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Happy first day of October! A mostly uneventful morning is
unfolding for the Florida Keys. KBYX has detected some isolated
showers across the CWA, but now are limited to the northern deep
Gulf waters. Outside of these light pop up showers, a majority of
the island chain appears cloud-free on GOES-19 Visible satelitte
imagery. This morning`s KKEY 12z sounding revealed we are still
in a pocket of dry air and MIMIC Precipitable Water backs that up.
Temperatures across land are in the mid 80s with dew points in
the mid 70s making for a pretty warm day ahead. Along the Reef,
winds are starting to slacken as Hurricane Imelda moves even
farther away from our CWA and high pressure builds back in. Not
much change is expected for the remainder of the day with
slackening breezes and occasional isolated showers, therefore, no
changes were made to this update cycle.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1050 AM EDT Wed Oct 1 2025
No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently in effect in the
Florida Keys waters. From synopsis, Hurricane Imelda will
continue to track northeastward, and will allow for higher
pressure to build in its place, resulting in gentle breezes
gradually slacken into Thursday morning. The high pressure over
the Eastern Seaboard will slowly slide eastward into the western
North Atlantic, and build, freshening northeast to east breezes
starting Thursday afternoon. Winds will then clock around towards
the southeast for the upcoming weekend.

.AVIATION...
(15Z TAFS)
Issued at 1050 AM EDT Wed Oct 1 2025
VFR conditions will prevail at both EYW and MTH through the TAF
period. Dry air will limit shower development so no mention of
VCSH at either terminal. Northerly winds will slacken and become
light and variable by the afternoon.
