Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
925 PM EST Sat Nov 14 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front situated south of our area will continue to meander
as high pressure develops over the eastern U.S. This will lead to
a brief period of gentle to modestly moderate breezes overnight
and into tomorrow morning. As the high strengthens, the gradient
at the surface will tighten and winds will freshen again by
tomorrow night. Small Craft Exercise Caution and hazard headlines
may be required as early as tomorrow afternoon. These fresh to
strong winds will prevail through most, if not all, of next week
with peak rain chances (50% to 70%) on Tuesday and Wednesday.
