Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
432 PM EDT Sun May 4 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
A weak boundary to our north will continue to clip portions of
the waters to the north of the island chain tonight, and will
continue to erode the influence of the Bermuda High over our area.
This will result in the prevailing southeast to south breezes to
becoming variable at times before resuming a uniform east to
southeast direction by Monday afternoon. Breezes are expected to
gradually freshen heading into mid week as the Atlantic ridge
lifts northward into Florida and pressures fall in the Gulf.
