   GMZ005-061500-  Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas  1046 PM EDT Wed Aug 5 2026      .SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate northeasterly breezes will prevail  overnight, becoming easterly at times through early next week.  This will be the result of nearby Atlantic ridging strengthening  and lifting northward towards North Florida. In addition, rain  chances will remain elevated through the end of the work week, as  pockets of deep moisture and slightly cyclonic upper-level  curvature push through the region at times. Higher winds and seas  should be expected in the vicinity of thunderstorm activity. As  the upper-level support wanes over the weekend, rain and thunder  chances will decrease.    The Approximate Shoreward Edge of the Gulf Stream as of  July 31, 2026...    31 NM South of Dry Tortugas Light...on Loggerhead Key.  24 NM South of Cosgrove Shoal Light...off the Marquesas Keys.  25 NM South of Sand Key Light...off Key West.  2 NM South of Looe Key...off Big Pine Key.  1 NM South of Sombrero Key Light...off Marathon.  5 NM Southeast of Alligator Reef Light...off Islamorada.  2 NM Southeast of Molasses Reef Light...off Key Largo.  1 NM Southeast of Carysfort Reef Light...off Ocean Reef.    Gulf Stream Information Courtesy of the National Weather Service in  Key West, using data from RTOFS and NASA SPoRT SST.    $$
