 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas

 .SYNOPSIS...
 An Atlantic ridge will continue to nudge further west as it lifts
 north into the Florida Peninsula over the next couple of days.
 Meanwhile, surface troughing will develop over the western Gulf.
 As a result, light southeasterly breezes will freshen through this
 period. Cautions may be required for the Florida Straits by
 Tuesday night. After mid week, the pressure pattern will be sloppy
 with ridging being the main driver for seasonable east to
 southeasterly breezes.
