 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 1031 AM EST Sat Dec 21 2024
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...A broad high pressure system 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 system will settle into the Eastern Seaboard towards
 midweek resulting in another period of freshening breezes with the
 potential for fresh to occasionally strong breezes.
