Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
747 PM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A weak tropical low will shift offshore this evening and slowly
organize offshore of the southeast coast through the rest of this
week. See the latest NHC outlook for details on the low. High
pressure will remain to the north through this evening and keep
breezy east to northeast winds over the local waters with showers
and and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm spreading northward
tonight from the northeast florida waters into the Georgia waters.
A stalled front over the waters will allow for showers and
thunderstorms over the waters through Friday. Stronger high
pressure will build south from Eastern great lakes on Saturday and
push the frontal boundary south of the local waters with
decreasing chances for showers and thunderstorms. Light easterly
winds Saturday will become breezy on Sunday into early next week
as the high builds down the eastern seaboard and then shifts
northeast of the region next week.
