Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1031 AM EST Sun Feb 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Light breezes will continue through today as high
pressure dominates the weather pattern over our local waters. Meanwhile,
a broad surface high pressure from the Great Lakes into the
Southeast U.S. today will settle along the Eastern Seaboard by
Monday and briefly become disorganized. A new surface high will
consolidate off the Southeastern U.S. coast Tuesday and slowly
meander east out across the Atlantic. This will maintain a wax and
waning of breezes today through at least Wednesday, while
gradually becoming more easterly.
