1027 PM EDT Sun Aug 9 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Ridging will gradually build in across the region, and 
will maintain gentle to moderate easterly to southeasterly breezes
on our waters. Marine caution headlines will be in place for Hawk
Channel and the Florida Straits due to a brief period of freshening
breezes overnight. However, winds will trend slightly downwards 
heading towards mid week as the ridge settles southward across 
Central Florida. Expect swings in wind speeds, generally lulling 
during the day and peaking overnight. Shower and thunder chances 
will be near to below normal through the forecast.
