Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
420 AM EST Sat Dec 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An ongoing localized nocturnal surge off the Mainland
early this morning will quickly diminish after sunrise. A broad 
high pressure will slide across the eastern United States today 
through Sunday, resulting in breezes gradually clocking around to
the northeast. Early next week a coastal trough will develop from
the Carolinas south to the Florida Peninsula. This will result in
a brief period of freshening northeast to east breezes. A second,
strong high pressure will settle into the Eastern Seaboard 
towards midweek resulting in another period of freshening breezes 
with the potential for fresh to occasionally strong breezes.
