Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
248 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A weakening frontal boundary pushing across the southeast Georgia
waters early this morning will stall and dissipate this evening
across the northeast Florida waters. A weak pressure pattern will
prevail across our local waters this weekend, with prevailing
offshore winds during the morning hours, followed by afternoon sea
breezes near shore and evening wind surges offshore. A cold front
will then approach our local waters from the northwest on Monday
afternoon, resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms during
the late afternoon and evening hours. This front will stall
across our region, with a surge of tropical moisture pushing
northward from the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico over our
area, resulting in waves of widespread showers and thunderstorms
throughout our local waters beginning on Tuesday afternoon and
continuing for the rest of the week.
