 generally maintain fresh northwest to northerly breezes. Waters in
 the lee of South Florida will likely see a brief, but substantial,
 lull in the afternoon. Moderate to fresh northwest to northerly
 breezes will continue through the remainder of the week, with
 considerable diurnal speed variations. High pressure will then
 advance eastward through the Gulf Coast states this weekend
 resulting in winds relaxing and veering northeast to east
 northeasterly.
