Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
228 PM EDT Wed Jun 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A tight pressure gradient remains over the eastern Gulf of Mexico
for the next couple of days. This is producing gusty easterly winds
that has warranted the continuance of a Small Craft Advisory for the
eastern gulf through Thursday afternoon. The gradient weakens by
Thursday evening with decreasing winds expected for the latter part
of the week and into the weekend. Daily afternoon showers and
storms will be possible each day through the period.
