Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
308 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front settles across north central Florida over the
upcoming weekend and this will keep westerly flow in place across
the Gulf waters with winds generally around 5-10 kts. Rain chances
will be lower overall throughout the weekend as drier air builds
into the area but occasional showers and thunderstorms will still
be possible. Another cold front approaches northern Florida by
early next week with westerly winds slightly increasing, though
wind speeds will generally remain below 15 kts. Tropical moisture
then surges into the area by mid to late week with increasing rain
chances and building seas.
