GMZ005-240700- Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas 611 PM EDT Mon Sep 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate easterly flow across the Keys coastal waters this afternoon will continue to steadily increase tonight through Tuesday, as high pressure builds along the Eastern Seaboard, and a tropical low develops in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Heading through the middle and later part of the week, the forecast will depend on the development and movement of this low. At this time, we expect fresh to strong east to southeast breezes to develop late Tuesday, with strong southeast winds peaking Wednesday night into Thursday as the tropical system moves northward across the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The strongest winds and highest seas are expected over western sections of the Keys waters. Mariners should continue to closely monitor the latest forecast updates during the next few days.
