It might be. NWS does have an office in Key West.

The weather for next week is quiet with a warming trend. Expecting 50 for Pres Day (after another very cold morning), then the 50s for Tues, near 60 Wed, and back into the 50s on Thurs. Rain moves in by Thurs afternoon and ends overnight. That is our next system to deal with. Thinking 0.25 to 0.50" rainfall amounts at this time. Then a nice weekend on tap. Then we close February out with more rainy / stormy conditions.

Watching the signal for well above normal temps and possible severe thunderstorms as we close out the month.

Certainly looks interesting for active weather at least for the central part of the country. It’s the first time all season I’ve seen the polar jet with any kind of meat to it showing up in the long range, even showing it with more strength than the STJ at day 10. Should make for some potent cutters for the mid section of country for that time period

Ditto... minus a few shaded areas.
