Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1057 AM EDT Tue Jun 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Strong easterly breezes and rough seas will continue
over the northeast Gulf through Friday morning, thanks to a tight
pressure gradient between strong high pressure off the New England
coast and a developing tropical cyclone over the Southwest Gulf.
Winds will start to decrease on Friday, as the high pressure
center to our northeast moves closer to Bermuda and extends a
ridge axis across the Southeast States.
