Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
253 PM EDT Sat May 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry and warm weather will remain in place through the end of the
weekend as high pressure builds across the region. High pressure
then shifts out into the Atlantic by early next week as a low
pressure system drives a cold front towards the northern Gulf
waters. Southerly winds ahead of the cold front may approach
advisory levels by Tuesday with seas around 2-4 ft into mid week.
In addition, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to
accompany the frontal passage. High pressure will then build back
into the area briefly by Thursday with wind speeds decreasing and
seas falling to 3 ft or less.
