 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 1020 AM EDT Wed Aug 26 2026
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...The western periphery of an Atlantic high is expected
 to maintain control of the Keys for the next several days. This
 will promote peaking and lulling east to southeast breezes.
 Breezes will peak in the evening through early morning and lull in
 the afternoons. The strongest surge of breezes is anticipated to
 be tonight where mostly moderate breezes are expected throughout
 the Florida Keys coastal waters. In addition, the southeasterly
 flow will also keep deep moisture in place across the region with
 daily chances of showers and thunderstorms. Locally hazardous
 winds and seas are expected in the vicinity of thunderstorm
 activity.
