.CURRENTLY...
AN OPPORTUNE SATELLITE QUIKSCAT PASS OVERHEAD OF THE FLORIDA KEYS AT 714 PM EDT SENSED ENE WINDS 25-28 KT OVER THE FLORIDA STRAITS...AND 25 KT OVER GULF WATERS NORTH OF THE LOWER KEYS. THIS IS AS FORECAST.
A COUPLE OF SHIP REPORTS AT 00Z IN THE STRAITS INDICATED ENE WINDS 32 AND 33 KT...BUT THESE WERE AT TOP-OF-SHIP ANEMOMETER HEIGHTS.
SEA HEIGHTS WERE REPORTED 10-13 FT OUT IN THE GULF STREAM. WINDS CONTINUE TO BLOW DUE TO LARGE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED JUST OFFSHORE CAPE HATTERAS (1030 MB) WITH ASSOCIATED RIDGE STILL EXTENDING SW TO GEORGIA THENCE ALONG THE NORTH GULF OF MEXICO COAST.

LINES OF SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE SEEN ON KEY WEST RADAR ALIGNED WITH THE ENE WINDS...AND MOVING SWIFTLY OVER WATERS OF THE OUTER FLORIDA STRAITS AS WELL AS GULF WATERS NORTH OF THE LOWER
KEYS. PLUS SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS KEEP FORMING IN SMALL LINES NEAR THE KEYS ISLANDS AS WELL.
ON SATELLITE A WELL-DEFINED UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS SEEN MOVING EAST QUICKLY TOWARD WESTERN CUBA. SO FAR...THE FEATURE SEEMS MAINLY TO BE CREATING A LARGE AREA OF THICK MID AND HIGH CLOUDS OVER CUBA WHICH ARE DROPPING STRATIFORM RAIN AROUND CONVECTIVE CELLS DOWN THERE.
