 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 426 PM EDT Sat Oct 12 2024
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...
 Breezes remain elevated this afternoon due to ongoing convection.
 However, the general trend outside of convection has been
 down. Further slackening is expected overnight and into Sunday as
 a high pressure in place over the southeastern U.S. pushes off of
 the coast and moves over the Atlantic. This will also cause
 breezes to veer to the east to southeast temporarily. By Monday,
 light to gentle breezes will return to a more northeasterly
 direction again as new high pressure builds in somewhere over the
 Gulf region or southeastern U.S. again. Breezes are expected to
 freshen again by midweek. Areal coverage of any shower activity
 that may form will fluctuate each day, but the overall pattern
 could support on and off showers with occasional isolated
 thunderstorms each day.
