Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1024 PM EDT Tue Jun 4 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An Atlantic pressure ridge will extend westward
across the southeastern United States over the next couple of
days. As a result, gentle to moderate easterly breezes will
persist, peaking during the afternoon and evening hours.
Thereafter, the ridge will shift southward across Florida,
resulting in slackening and, at times, variable breezes. The next
upper level trough will push towards the Florida Peninsula by
Sunday night, with southerly breezes gradually freshening.
