Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
915 AM EDT Mon Jun 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary over the southeastern states will move
southward, stalling over the Georgia waters tonight. Strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible late this afternoon and
early this evening, mainly closer to the frontal boundary over the
Georgia waters. Severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and
early this evening over the Georgia waters will be capable of
producing strong wind gusts, hail, waterspouts, and frequent
lightning. Waves of showers and thunderstorms will then overspread
our local waters from south to north on Tuesday and Wednesday as
the frontal boundary remains stalled over our region. Prevailing
onshore winds are expected late this week and into the weekend as
weak low pressure potentially develops over the Gulf of Mexico.
Waves of showers and thunderstorms will continue to impact our
local waters through the weekend.
