 .SYNOPSIS...
 A broad area of high pressure over the eastern United States will
 sustain moderate to fresh breezes across the Florida Keys waters
 this weekend. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution headlines may be
 required for portions or all marine zones tonight. Breezes are on
 track to slacken tomorrow, but elevated winds along the Florida
 Peninsula will generate higher northerly swell for the waters
 south of the Upper Keys. After the initial higher winds tonight,
 breezes will slacken during the weekend. Light to gentle breezes
 are possible midweek. Shower chances are expected to peak tomorrow
 through Monday with drier conditions during the middle of the
 week.
