Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
300 PM EDT Tue May 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Several more storm clusters are expected to move across the Gulf
waters with the next round possibly occurring this evening, though
there remains uncertainty with how much of this activity will
hold together. However, a cold front will gradually push southward
across the region with scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms spreading from north to south throughout the day.
Some of this activity to produce strong winds, waterspouts,
lightning, and torrential downpours. In addition, small craft
exercise cautionary levels will be possible on Wednesday outside
of thunderstorms as gusty southwest winds will be in place
throughout the day. Winds then decrease late week as weak high
pressure builds in with decreasing rain chances, though another
cold front will arrive by next weekend with increasing
precipitation chances once again.
