Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
616 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered to the east northeast and the remnants of a
weak low over the Georiga coast will create slightly elevated
southeasterly winds through this early evening with exercise
caution conditions over the local waters. The high will weaken
and shift towards Bermuda Sunday with decreasing winds and seas
with a more typical summer sea breeze- like pattern returning into
early next week. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will
continue to develop over our local waters this weekend and into
next week as prevailing winds become southerly ahead of a
weakening surface trough that will settle over the southeastern
states through midweek.
