Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
159 AM EDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to extend its
axis westward across the local waters through Thursday, keeping a
prevailing southerly wind flow in place. Evening wind surges may
briefly bring speeds up towards Caution levels, especially offshore,
by midweek. A weak cold front entering the southeastern states on
Thursday may stall over the Georgia waters by Friday, resulting
in a brief period of light and variable wind directions across our
local waters. Southwesterly winds may strengthen somewhat late in
the weekend ahead of another approaching cold front, which could
bring chances for showers and thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon
and evening.
