Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
821 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will shift further out into the Atlantic and allow
a cold front to approach our area over the next couple of days.
Ahead of this cold front, multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms will be possible across the Gulf waters with the
first round moving into the waters this evening and the second
round on Tuesday. Isolated waterspouts, strong winds, heavy rain,
and frequent lightning will be possible with this activity. In
addition, winds may approach exercise cautionary levels on Tuesday
outside of thunderstorms as southerly winds increase ahead of the
cold front`s arrival by Wednesday. The cold front will keep a
chance for showers and storms into Wednesday before lower rain
chances arrive later this week as high pressure builds in.
