Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
754 PM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong high pressure will remain anchored off coastal New England
through Thursday. This feature will create gradually increasing
onshore winds and building seas across our local waters, with
Caution conditions expected tonight and then Small Craft Advisory
conditions developing offshore by Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, a
trough situated to the northeast of the Bahamas will be steered
westward towards the southeastern seaboard late this week, with
weak low pressure possibly developing as this system traverses the
Gulf Stream waters. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to
increase in coverage late this week and through the upcoming
weekend across our local waters. High pressure will weaken late
this week as it sinks slowly southward towards Bermuda, with the
axis of this surface ridge extending across our area during the
upcoming weekend. Winds and seas will gradually diminish as
prevailing winds shift to southeasterly on Saturday and then
southerly by Sunday.
