Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
429 AM EDT Tue May 6 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
An Atlantic ridge will continue to nudge further west as it lifts
north into the Florida Peninsula over the next couple of days.
Meanwhile, surface troughing will develop over the western Gulf.
As a result, light southeasterly breezes will freshen through this
period. Cautions may be required for the Florida Straits by
Tuesday night. After mid week, the pressure pattern will be sloppy
with ridging being the main driver for seasonable east to
southeasterly breezes.
