Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
914 PM EST Wed Nov 4 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
The flanks of a robust high pressure system offshore the Mid
Atlantic States will be will eroded by a low over the
northeastern United States and a deepening low well northeast of
the Bahamas. As a result, northeast to east breezes will gradually
slacken through Friday. With that said, there is a potential for
brief nocturnal surges each night through the next several days.
In addition, drier air will be filtering in this evening and
lasting through the end of the week, leading to diminishing 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.
