Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1028 PM EST Sun Feb 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate breezes will continue through
tonight as high pressure dominates the weather pattern over our
local waters. Meanwhile, a broad surface high pressure from the
Great Lakes into the Southeast U.S. will settle along the Eastern
Seaboard by Monday and briefly become disorganized. A new surface
high will consolidate off the Southeastern U.S. coast Tuesday and
slowly meander east out across the Atlantic. This will maintain a
wax and waning of breezes today through at least Wednesday, while
gradually becoming more easterly.
