Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
428 PM EST Thu Nov 5 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A weak ridge will stretch southwestward across the Florida
Peninsula, keeping gentle northeast to easterly breezes tonight
and tomorrow. Breezes will slacken heading into the weekend as
the ridge weakens and shifts southward into South Florida and the
Keys. There is a potential for brief nocturnal surges each night
through the next several days. In addition, drier air filtering
through the lower levels will keep near normal rain chances. A
surface high will develop across the Gulf beginning Friday, which
may lead to brief nocturnal wind surges along the west coast of
Florida and into the outer Gulf waters.
