Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
912 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Atlantic high pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to
extend its axis westward across our local waters while gradually
weakening through midweek. This feature will keep a prevailing
southeast to southerly flow across our local waters, with wind
surges taking place during the late afternoon and evening hours.
Only isolated showers and possibly a few thunderstorms are
expected to develop across our local waters early this week. The
axis of Atlantic high pressure will then shift south of our local
waters late this week as a cold front pushes into the southeastern
states. Prevailing west-southwesterly winds late this week could
push scattered showers and thunderstorms across our local waters
ahead of this approaching front, which is slated to cross our
region late Friday night or Saturday.
