The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a broad area of low pressure near the Bay of Campeche for possible tropical cyclone development. The system poses no threat to the #FloridaKeys, as it is expected to move inland over eastern Mexico late this weekend. #FLwx #KeyWest

Rain and t'storm chances are on track to peak this Wednesday. Gentle to moderate breezes will persist through tonight but are expected to slacken to light to gentle late this week. Heat risk is expected to be the primary concern for the latter half of the week.

We have received multiple reports in the #FloridaKeys of ground shaking associated with a potential earthquake. The United States Geological Survey did indeed sample a 6.4 magnitude earthquake around 65 miles WNW of Mantua, Cuba. There is no tsunami threat from this earthquake.

Here is a Five Day Outlook for the Florida Keys. Expect a muggy week along the island chain. Daily highs are near normal, but overnight lows are warmer than average. Expect an increase in rain chances starting Tuesday to Wednesday. Breezes are on track to slacken late this week.

The workweek will start off fairly normal for the Florida Keys, but an increase in moisture after Tuesday will lead to better rain chances! Don't worry, rainfall amounts don't look close to what we saw at the end of last week, but our eyes are on the second half of the week!
