-Drier air will continue to filter in and limit rain chances over the coming days.

MARINE

Issued at 150 PM EST Fri Dec 19 2025

Gentle to moderate northwest breezes have overspread across all of the Florida Keys coastal waters. As a high pressure builds in behind the recent front, breezes will clock around and come out of the north to northeast. In addition, we expect a weak nocturnal surge to occur and a brief period of moderate northerly breezes is possible late tonight into Saturday morning. Breezes will slacken for the remainder of the weekend, but begin freshening once again late Sunday. Expect fresh to occasionally strong breezes to develop as the pressure gradient across the region tightens. There will likely be an extended period of fresh to occasionally strong breezes through at least Thursday.

Expecting a weak nocturnal surge to spill off the mainland early Saturday morning and could lead to a brief period of stronger winds. That being said, speeds will generally be 15 knots or less.
