Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
431 AM EDT Thu May 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate southeast breezes, occasionally
east to southeast, will continue through tonight as a ridge
remains over the western North Atlantic. This ridge will begin to
break down on Friday as a developing low pressure over the
DELMARVA region sends a cold front southeastward off the Southeast
United States coastline on Friday. Due to this, gentle to
moderate southeast to south breezes will shift to to the southwest
to west. The front will stall across the central to south Florida
Peninsula over the weekend into early next week. This will lead
to very weak flow keeping breezes light to gentle through the
period. In addition, a wetter regime continues to become
increasingly likely for this period with an increase in coverage
area for showers and thunderstorms.
