SYNOPSIS

High pressure is centered over Bermuda with the western periphery of this ridge extending west into Florida and the Gulf. This will continue to promote moderate to fresh breezes this afternoon and tonight. Slight weakening of the high Sunday into early next week will result in modest slackening to gentle to moderate breezes, though, moderate to fresh breezes are expected to continue across the Straits. As the high retreats into Atlantic next week, breezes will shift to the east to southeast.
