Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
454 PM EDT Sun May 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Atlantic ridging will continue to extend its axis westward across
the Florida peninsula through Memorial Day, with prevailing west
southwesterly winds resuming overnight and again on Monday night
following afternoon sea breezes and southerly evening wind surges.
High pressure will then slide eastward on Monday ahead of a
frontal boundary that will be entering the southeastern states.
This front will stall across our local waters on Tuesday and
Tuesday night, bringing increased chances for at least scattered
showers and thunderstorms. The front will then gradually weaken
and dissipate over the northeast Florida waters on Wednesday and
Thursday, with winds becoming onshore by late this week as high
pressure builds southeastward from the Great Lakes region.
