Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1033 AM EST Fri Feb 13 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A nebulous pressure pattern across the coastal waters
of the Florida Keys will support light and at times variable
breezes through tonight. High pressure diving off the Mid-
Atlantic coastline will interact with a developing area of low
pressure north of the Gulf Coast by Sunday, supporting freshening
east to southeast breezes. The low pressure system will nudge a
frontal boundary through the Keys Monday evening. A potent surge
of northerly breezes is not expected in the wake of this front.
