Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
259 AM EDT Tue Jun 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary will stall across our local waters today, with
showers and thunderstorms initially over central Florida gradually
spreading northward towards our area this afternoon. Weak low
pressure will then develop along this stalled boundary tonight
over the northeast Florida waters, with this feature moving slowly
northeastward through Friday. Prevailing onshore winds are
expected late this week as this weak low pressure center moves
further away from our local waters. Periods of showers and
thunderstorms will remain possible across through the upcoming
weekend as the frontal boundary remains stalled. A stronger high
pressure center will build southeastward from the eastern Great
Lakes region this weekend, with a surge of onshore winds possible
by Sunday and Monday as this feature wedges down the southeastern
seaboard.
