GMZ005-161415- Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas 1013 PM EDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure aligned across the southeastern United States and adjacent Atlantic will retreat eastward into the Atlantic over the next couple of days as a frontal system presses east and southeastward into the eastern United States. As a result, gentle to moderate breezes will relax, possibly becoming light and variable Friday night. The cold front is expected to drive southward into our Gulf waters Saturday night, resulting in northeasterly breezes freshening considerably, along with squally conditions. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be required for part or all of Keys waters by late weekend. These fresh northeasterly breezes are then expected to persist through the duration of the marine forecast.
