 Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
 429 AM EDT Wed Oct 14 2026
 
 
 .SYNOPSIS...
 High pressure is centered over the Southeast U.S. extending
 eastward into the western North Atlantic. In addition, the weak
 front that passed through yesterday remains stalled across the
 Straits of Florida early this morning. This will promote gentle to
 moderate northeast to east breezes over the next several days.
 There will be chances for showers and a few thunderstorms over the
 next few days as this weak and diffuse front remains in the area.
 Late week, confidence is slowly increasing for a rather strong
 cold front driving southeastward through the Gulf and towards the
 Florida Keys over the weekend. Overall, this front, if it reaches
 the Keys, will be capable of bringing hazardous marine conditions
 as well as a potentially rather wet period.
