GMZ005 Synopsis For Keys Coastal Waters From Ocean Reef To Dry Tortugas 426 Pm Edt Fri Apr 19 2024
Synopsis..High pressure over the western north atlantic will maintain gentle to occasionally moderate east to southeast breezes across the florida keys coastal waters through the weekend. Gentle southerly breezes on Monday will become northerly Monday night, as a weak frontal boundary decays over south florida. Another area of high pressure will build in the west-central north atlantic early next week, resulting in a return to gentle east to southeast breezes.
the approximate shoreward edge of the gulf stream is currently unavailable.
