Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
258 PM EDT Sat Sep 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Drier air moves across the region tonight as a slow moving
frontal boundary sinks southward. This will favor mostly dry
conditions across central marine zones on Sunday but lingering
moisture will keep isolated to scattered showers and storms across
southwest Florida and portions of the Nature Coast at times.
Winds will generally be from the northeast in the morning hours
before shifting onshore as the sea breeze develops over the next
couple of days with wind speeds 5-10 knots and seas less than 2
feet.
