Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
940 AM EDT Sun Jun 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Winds and seas remain light as high pressure dominates. However, the
flow is veering from a SSE to a WSW flow over the next couple days.
There is the potential for showers and storms at almost anytime
during the week. However, the greatest potential today will be this
afternoon and evening as thunderstorms over land meander towards the
coast, with locally hazardous winds and seas in the vicinity.
Beginning tomorrow and lasting through the week, showers and storms
will be favored more so during the first half of the day across
coastal waters.
