GMZ700-171545- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 437 AM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A prolonged period of strong easterly breezes will get underway late today, lasting through at least Thursday and possibly Friday. The strong breezes will be driven by the tight pressure gradient between strong high pressure off the Northeast U.S. coast, and a deepening area of tropical low pressure over the southwest and western Gulf this week. Easterly flow will demonstrate a familiar rhythm of nighttime and morning surges, and afternoon lulls. An easterly wave will arrive around Friday, disrupting the strong easterly flow and increasing thunderstorm chances. $$ GMZ750-752-755-770-772-775-171545- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL out 20 NM- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola FL out 20 NM- Coastal Waters From Ochlockonee River to Apalachicola Fl out to 20 Nm- Waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Apalachicola to Mexico Beach FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Suwannee River to Apalachicola FL from 20 to 60 NM- 437 AM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024 /337 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024/ ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON... .TODAY...East winds 15 to 20 knots.
