Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
955 AM EDT Sat Apr 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong high pressure to the north northeast near the New England
coast will sink southward down the eastern seaboard through this
evening with easterly winds turning breezy. A coastal trough over
the northeast Florida waters will pinch the gradient and create
isolated to scattered showers over the local waters today. The
coastal trough will move onshore and inland by early this evening
as high pressure gradually weakens overnight as it sinks south
the North Carolina Outer Banks. Elevated winds and seas bringing
Small Craft Advisory conditions will persist offshore through
Sunday morning, while increasing winds near shore will bring Small
Craft Advisory conditions this afternoon over the northeast Florida
nearshore waters through late tonight. Winds and seas will lessen
late Sunday into Sunday night as weaker high pressure anchors off
the southeastern seaboard early next week, followed by prevailing
winds shifting to southerly towards midweek.
