Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
441 AM EDT Wed Jun 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong easterly breezes will continue through Thursday due to
interaction between a strong high off the Northeast U.S. coast
and a formative tropical cyclone in the southwest Gulf. Winds this
morning are being further enhanced by a passing tropical wave,
bringing frequent gale-force gusts until late this morning. Look
for winds to decrease over the course of Friday and Saturday, as
an east-west ridge axis settles southward through the Southeast
States. The ridge axis will slip south of the waters on Sunday,
bringing a turn to gentle southerly and southwesterly winds.
