Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
159 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong high pressure centered off the New England coast will
maintain strong onshore winds and Small Craft Advisory level winds
and seas through tonight. Coastal troughing that is situated over
our local waters will continue to generate occasional fast moving
showers and isolated thunderstorms through tonight. Meanwhile, a
trough that is generating disorganized thunderstorm activity to
the east of the Bahamas will be steered westward, with this
feature approaching our local waters late tonight. Showers and
thunderstorms will briefly increase in coverage as this trough
moves across our region Friday morning. High pressure will then
weaken while shifting further eastward over the Atlantic this
weekend, allowing for diminishing winds and seas. Prevailing
southerly winds are expected by early next week, with scattered to
numerous thunderstorms remaining possible as another trough
settles over the southeastern states.
