Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
935 AM EDT Mon Sep 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A weak pressure pattern and light onshore flow continues through
Tuesday. Southeast winds strengthen Tuesday through Wednesday in
response to a tropical system that is expected to develop quickly
from an area of disturbed weather in the northwestern Caribbean
Sea and then move northward into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. There
is still uncertainty in the scale, intensity and track of the tropical
system as it develops. All of those factors will influence the local
coastal water conditions. At the moment, Small Craft Advisory conditions
are expected to develop by Wednesday night with gales possible
Thursday. Conditions are expected to improve Friday and through
the weekend as the tropical system rapidly tracks northward.
