Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
859 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure north of the Bahamas is expected to start shifting
east later today into tonight. Predominant easterly winds become
onshore with the afternoon sea breeze. Showers and storms should
develop over the land this afternoon/evening, drifting into the Gulf
during the late evening and early overnight hours. A weak frontal
boundary approaches the Gulf waters on Thursday, which will shift
winds to the west over the weekend. As a result, showers could
develop along the coast early and push inland during the afternoon.
Winds will remain less than 15 knots and seas 2 feet or less through
the period.
