Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
401 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure to the north is expected to start shifting south
today. Easterly winds become onshore behind the afternoon sea
breeze. Showers and storms should develop over the land each
afternoon/evening, drifting into the Gulf each day during the late
evening and early overnight hours. Then, a weak boundary
approaches the Gulf waters on Thursday which will shift winds
from the west into the weekend. As a result, showers could develop
along the coast early and push inland by the afternoon.
