 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 1017 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...A high pressure system over the central North Atlantic
 will maintain fresh northeast to east breezes. Occasional fast-
 moving light showers cannot be ruled out, especially in the
 overnight periods. Breezes may briefly lull during the late
 afternoon and early evening across the Gulf waters due to the
 heating of South Florida. As the high moves farther eastward and
 slowly weakens, easterly breezes will modestly slacken for
 Thursday and Friday.
