 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 1027 PM EDT Sun Oct 13 2024
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...
 Breezes have slackened to light to gentle out of the north to
 northeast as high pressure moved further offshore over the
 western Atlantic, and a weak low pressure trough over the Keys
 northern coastal waters continue to diminish. Weak high pressure
 over the Gulf of Mexico will maintain light to gentle north to
 northeast breezes through Tuesday night. Northeast breezes will
 begin to freshen Wednesday, becoming strong Wednesday night as a
 frontal boundary pushes southward through the Keys waters. An
 extended period of strong northeast breezes is expected late this
 week as a large continental high pressure area settles across the
 Eastern states.
