 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 436 PM EDT Thu Apr 30 2026
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure will continue to retreat into the
 Atlantic tonight, as a weak low pushes off the Eastern Seaboard.
 This will result in light southeasterlies becoming variable.
 Another weak low will push across Florida late this week and into
 the weekend, likely supporting a short period of gentle to
 moderate southeasterly breezes. Winds should slacken again later
 in the weekend as the pressure gradient flattens. A weak
 disturbance in the Gulf coupled with increased moisture will
 support elevated rain and thunder chances for late in the weekend
 and into early next week.
