Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
415 PM EDT Fri Jun 6 2025
.SYNOPSIS...Saharan dust will continue to linger in the air, and
will promote lower rain and thunder chances over the next several
days. High pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coastline will continue
to move eastward and merge with a stronger high centered near the
Azores. This will encourage an extended period of light to gentle
east to southeast breezes.
The Approximate Shoreward Edge of the Gulf Stream as of May 30...
55 NM South of Dry Tortugas Light...on Loggerhead Key.
29 NM South of Cosgrove Shoal Light...off the Marquesas Keys.
