Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1002 AM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Weak low pressure will move slowly northeastward across the
central Florida Peninsula today emerging over the Atlantic waters
this evening. Meanwhile, high pressure will briefly wedge down the
southeastern seaboard today, resulting in strengthening onshore
winds later this morning and this afternoon across the local
waters. Showers and thunderstorms today will mainly be confined to
the waters from St. Augustine southward, with showers then
spreading northward overnight as low pressure crosses the Gulf
Stream waters adjacent to northeast Florida. Periods of showers
and thunderstorms will remain possible across the northeast
Florida waters on Thursday and Friday as a frontal boundary
remains stalled over our local waters. This boundary will briefly
shift southward on Saturday before a stronger high pressure center
wedges down the southeastern seaboard on Sunday. This weather
pattern will result in decreasing chances for showers and
thunderstorms on Saturday, followed by a surge in onshore winds on
Sunday that will increase chances for showers and thunderstorms
throughout our local waters.
