Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
108 PM EDT Fri May 31 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure building southeastward from the Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley will wedge down the southeastern seaboard this afternoon,
resulting in strengthening east-northeasterly winds throughout
our local waters. This high pressure center will pivot east-
southeastward this weekend, pushing off the Carolina coast by
Saturday afternoon and then becoming centered near Bermuda by
Sunday night. Breezy easterly winds will prevail across our local
waters on Saturday and Saturday night, followed by winds shifting
to southeasterly while gradually diminishing from Sunday through
the early portions of next week. Only isolated showers are
possible on Saturday afternoon and evening, with isolated showers
and possibly a few thunderstorms early next week.
