Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
425 AM EST Sat Mar 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is centered over Bermuda with the
western periphery of this ridge extending west into Florida and
the Gulf. This will continue to promote moderate to fresh breezes
today and tonight. Slight weakening of the high Sunday into early
next week will result in modest slackening to gentle to moderate
breezes, though, moderate to fresh breezes are expected to
continue across the Straits. As the high retreats into Atlantic
next week, breezes will shift to the east to southeast.
