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

.SYNOPSIS...

The frontal boundary will remain stalled 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.
