Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
155 PM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure will be to the east today and gradually push away
through the end of the week as a cool front arrives Friday night.
Offshore, winds will trend southerly today while nearshore winds
turn easterly or east southeasterly with the sea breeze this
afternoon. Ahead of the cold front, winds will turn offshore and
keep the sea breeze pinned at the beach. This will enhance
thunderstorm chances in the nearshore waters Thursday afternoon.
The cold front will push through the waters Saturday before it
stalls and dissipates to the south on Sunday. Winds will turn
offshore once again early next week as another cool front
approaches from the north and this front may end up stalling
across the local waters through the middle of next week.
