.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure ridge will continue across the central and south
Florida peninsula through Memorial Day, resulting in prevailing
west southwest winds during the overnight and morning hours across
our local waters. Sea breezes will develop during the late morning
hours near the coast, resulting in breezy onshore winds for the
near shore waters during the afternoon and early evening hours. A
weak cool front will enter the southeast states on Monday afternoon
and will push southeast on Monday night and Tuesday, bringing
chances for showers and thunderstorms to our local waters. This
front will likely stall over the Florida peninsula towards
midweek.
