 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 423 AM EDT Tue Oct 15 2024
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will
 maintain light to gentle, mainly northeast breezes across the
 Florida Keys coastal waters through tonight. Breezes will begin
 to freshen Wednesday, becoming strong Wednesday night, as a
 frontal boundary pushes southward through the Keys marine zones.
 An extended period of strong northeast breezes is expected late
 this week, as a large continental high pressure area settles
 across the eastern states and interacts with this frontal feature.
