Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
955 AM EDT Sun Jun 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered over New England will strengthen as it
moves slowly offshore this afternoon. This feature will result in
strengthening easterly winds by late this afternoon and evening
throughout our local waters, with winds and seas gradually
increasing early this week. Small Craft Advisory conditions are
expected to begin both near shore and offshore on Tuesday. Low
pressure is expected to gradually organize towards midweek as it
moves westward across the Bahamas, with a low risk for tropical
development as this system approaches our local waters on
Wednesday night and Thursday. Please stay tuned to forecast
updates from the National Hurricane Center this week for
potential changes to the forecast. Coverage of showers and
thunderstorms will gradually increase across our local waters,
with widespread activity likely by mid to late week.
