GMZ005-162030- Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas 426 AM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure over the southeastern United States and Atlantic will shift eastward while a frontal system develops and sweeps southeastward across the country. Breezes are on track to slacken from gentle to moderate to light to gentle, possibly variable, tonight. While breezes slacken and veer northeasterly, shower coverage is expected to increase across the nearshore and offshore waters. The cold front associated with this frontal system is forecast to reach our Gulf waters on Saturday night. Breezes are on track to freshen rapidly alongside squally conditions. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be required for part of or all the Florida Keys waters by late in the weekend. Fresh, occasionally strong, northeasterly breezes are expected to persist through the start of the week.
