GMZ005 Synopsis For Keys Coastal Waters From Ocean Reef To Dry Tortugas 1035 Am Edt Mon Apr 29 2024
Synopsis..A sprawling high pressure system centered southeast of new england will maintain fresh easterly breezes through the afternoon. As the high presses south into the western north atlantic, breezes will slacken, although moderate to fresh breezes will continue through the first half of the week. The aforementioned high moves east further into the mid to late week resulting in peaking and lulling easterly breezes.
the approximate shoreward edge of the gulf stream is currently unavailable.
