Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
255 AM EDT Sun Jun 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A weak pressure pattern will prevail across our local waters
through Monday morning, with prevailing offshore winds becoming
onshore by late this afternoon over the near shore waters. A
southerly evening wind surge may bring speeds up to Caution levels
across our waters tonight. A frontal boundary entering the
southeastern states on Monday will stall across our local waters
by late Tuesday. Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms will be
possible across the Georgia waters late on Monday afternoon, with
this activity weakening as it pushes across the northeast Florida
waters on Monday evening. A surge of tropical moisture will then
lift northward from the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico by
midweek, resulting in waves of widespread showers and
thunderstorms impacting our local waters into next weekend. Weak
low pressure may develop over the Gulf of Mexico late this week,
potentially resulting in strengthening southerly winds.
