Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
430 AM EST Thu Nov 20 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure system stretching from the western
Atlantic to the Florida panhandle will consolidate along the
Atlantic Coast over the next couple of days, leading to a brief
strengthening of northeast to easterly breezes tonight. This high
will lengthen out into the Atlantic through the remainder of the
week and result in slight slackening to light to gentle by the
weekend. Expect slightly fresher breezes south of the island
chain. Breezes will gradually freshen early next week as the ridge
is reinforced by a continental advancing into the eastern United
States.
