Detailed Forecast
Synopsis: A weak ridge axis over South Florida will dissipate
overnight. On Monday, a high center will move eastward along the
northern Gulf Coast, causing moderate northerly breezes to
develop. This high will strengthen over the Southeast United
States Monday night and Tuesday, with freshening northeast to east
breezes over the Keys waters. For the rest of the week, the high
will settle slowly southward down the Florida Peninsula, allowing
breezes to gradually relax. By Friday, only light to gentle
easterly breezes are forecast.
