Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1025 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An Atlantic ridge will extend a ridge westward across
the southeastern United States over the next few days. As a
result mostly easterly breezes will range gentle to moderate,
peaking in the afternoon and evenings and lulling overnight into
the morning hours. A mid latitude low riding through the eastern
United States through the second half of the week will nudge the
Atlantic ridge southwards across Florida. As a result, winds will
relax, likely becoming variable at times.
