HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS FLORIDA AND THE BAHAMAS CONTINUE TO DRIVE
EASTWARD FURTHER INTO THE ATLANTIC. AS A RESULT, SURFACE WINDS
HAVE BEEN LIGHT AND MOSTLY EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY. COOLER WATERS
AND EARLIER DAY TIME HEATING HAS LET WINDS SLIP TO THE NORTHEAST.
THESE LIGHT BREEZES HAVE ALLOWED SOME LOCATIONS TO RADIATE. PARTS
OF THE KEYS REMAIN NEAR 70, WHILE THE BACK YARD HAS DIPPED INTO
THE LOWER 60S, QUITE CLOSE TO THE DEW POINT. EXPECT WINDOWS TO
GRADUALLY FIRM UP AND BECOME MORE UNIFORMLY SOUTHEASTERLY AS THE
SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS FURTHER EASTWARD. THIS, ALONG WITH MINIMAL DEW
POINT DEPRESSIONS, WILL LIKELY RESULT IN OVERNIGHT LOWS NOT BEING
FAR FROM CURRENT READINGS. STABLE CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WITH DEEP
LAYERED RIDGING REMAINING NEARBY.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1030 PM EST FRI MAR 7 2025
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS FLORIDA AND THE BAHAMAS WILL DRIVE EASTWARD
INTO THE ATLANTIC OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN MARINE WINDS
STEADILY SHIFTING SOUTHEASTERLY AND STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY. WINDS
OVER THE GULF AND BAY SIDE WATERS MAY BE SLOWER TO SHIFT, BUT ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL IN LINE LATER TONIGHT.
