GMZ005 Synopsis For Keys Coastal Waters From Ocean Reef To Dry Tortugas 1033 Am Edt Fri Apr 26 2024
Synopsis..Gentle to moderate breezes will prevail in the near term as an atlantic ridge extends westward across florida. This high will be subsumed by a larger high spreading into the western north atlantic over the next couple of days. This will be accompanied by sharply freshening easterly breezes. Breezes will diminish somewhat Monday through Tuesday as the high loses latitude towards the bahamas.
the approximate shoreward edge of the gulf stream is currently unavailable.
