Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
248 AM EDT Sun May 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A slow moving cold front will stall over the coastal waters today
with numerous showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon into
the early evening hours. Some of these storms may contain strong
gusty winds and heavy downpours. Westerly winds will turn southerly
this afternoon due to the Atlantic seabreeze and then become breezy
from the north and northeast overnight into Monday as a secondary
cold front pushes south of the waters and high pressure wedges
down from the Mid Atlantic coast against a low pressure over the
western Atlantic waters through early next week. High pressure
builds directly over the waters during the middle part of next
week.
