Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
424 AM EDT Sat Mar 22 2025
.SYNOPSIS...Through this weekend and early next week, high
pressure straddling the Florida Peninsula will build eastward into
the Atlantic. This will maintain mostly gentle breezes gradually
clocking to the east to southeast, likely strengthening slightly
early next week. Weak and messy ridging will dominate through the
first half of the week, keeping winds light and largely easterly.
Strong high pressure building in the wake of this system will
support freshening easterly breezes through the back half of the
week.
