AMZ400-041000- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 918 PM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Atlantic high pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to extend its axis westward across our local waters on Tuesday, keeping a prevailing southeasterly wind flow across our local waters. Southerly evening wind surges are expected through midweek, with onshore winds strengthening each afternoon near shore. Atlantic high pressure will gradually weaken by midweek and will then shift eastward as a trough dives into the southeastern states. Chances for mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will increase ahead of this approaching trough on Wednesday and Thursday. A weak cold front will then move across our local waters on Friday evening, preceded by scattered showers and thunderstorms. Weak high pressure will then settle over the southeastern states in the wake of this frontal passage during the upcoming weekend. .GULF STREAM...
