Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
306 AM EDT Mon Jun 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary over the southeastern states will move
southward, stalling over the Georgia waters tonight. Strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible late this afternoon and
early this evening, mainly closer to the frontal boundary over the
Georgia waters. Severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and early
this evening over the Georgia waters will be capable of producing
strong wind gusts, hail, waterspouts, and frequent lightning.
Waves of showers and thunderstorms will then overspread our local
waters from south to north on Tuesday and Wednesday as the frontal
boundary remains stalled over our region. Prevailing onshore winds
are expected late this week and into the weekend as weak low
pressure potentially develops over the Gulf of Mexico. Waves of
showers and thunderstorms will continue to impact our local waters
through the weekend.
