An Atlantic ridge will maintain a modest ridge across Florida today and keep gentle to moderate easterly breezes on Keys waters. Winds will trend sharply upwards late this week and into the weekend as a sprawling high drives southeastward off of the Atlantic coast and reach across the Gulf of Mexico. Small Craft Advisories are becoming increasingly likely for all Keys waters beginning Friday Night and lasting through the weekend. Winds will gradually taper back early next week as the high weakens and settles southwestward along the Atlantic coast.

Climate
Other than 0.02 inches measured at MTH 3 days ago, EYW and MTH have remained dry for the last 20 days. The last measurable rainfall was at EYW of 0.55 inches on April 4th.
