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.
