Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
1018 AM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Coastal showers that developed overnight along the land breeze
boundary continue to subside as light winds prevail through the
morning. By the afternoon, a light ESE flow should turn onshore,
with scattered to numerous storms developing over land this
afternoon and evening. Later in the day, some of these storms may
push back towards the coast, with locally hazardous winds and seas
in the vicinity. A similar pattern will repeat for the next few
days, with a few isolated storms developing early in the morning
along the land breeze and then subside during the morning, before
afternoon and evening thunderstorms move towards the coast late in
the day. Outside thunderstorms, winds and seas look to remain light
through the forecast period.
