Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
400 PM EDT Fri May 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Light winds and low seas will continue through the holiday
weekend. The lone exception will be if Saturday`s thunderstorms
can make it far enough south to impact winds and seas over the
Gulf. Therefore, locally higher winds and seas cannot be ruled out
near and within thunderstorms on Saturday. West to southwest winds
may increase somewhat ahead of an approaching frontal boundary on
Monday and Tuesday. The front will also bring a chance of a few
showers/thunderstorms. Quiet weather, light winds, and low seas
should prevail in the front`s wake on Wednesday and Thursday.
