Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
828 PM EDT Tue Jun 4 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure to the northeast will continue to bring
southeasterly winds across the waters through Wednesday...becoming
more southwesterly Thursday as a weak cold front approaches from
the north. The front is expected to push into and through most of
the area waters Friday night into Saturday before eventually
stalling across local waters as weak high pressure builds in
behind from out of the northwest. Shower and thunderstorm chances
will increase across waters late this week as flow becomes more
offshore and chances for convection will continue on into the
weekend, building predominantly within the vicinity of the stalled
front.
