Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
309 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Winds will shift to the east this evening and then hold through
at least Thursday. Look for fresh to strong easterly breezes due
to tightening pressure gradients since we will be situated between
strong high pressure off the U.S. Mid- Atlantic coast and a
deepening tropical low over the southwest Gulf. Small craft
advisory conditions are expected for much of the week ahead with
near gale force gusts possible. Seas will build in response as
well, especially for the waters west of Apalachicola. Easterly
flow will feature the familiar rhythm of nocturnal surges and
afternoon lulls.
