Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
338 AM EDT Tue Jun 25 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary will stall over the southeastern states today,
with prevailing offshore winds this morning becoming onshore
towards noon over the near shore waters as the Atlantic sea breeze
pushes inland. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will possibly
develop over our local waters late this afternoon and early this
evening. Outside of thunderstorm activity, southerly winds will
briefly surge this evening before shifting to southwesterly while
diminishing overnight. Southwesterly winds will prevail on
Wednesday and Thursday ahead of another weakening frontal
boundary that will stall and dissipate to the northwest of our
local waters by Friday, with increasing chances for showers and
thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours.
Prevailing winds will become southeasterly by the weekend as the
axis of Atlantic high pressure briefly lifts northward, with
another frontal boundary then expected to enter the southeastern
states early next week, which will shift prevailing winds back to
southwesterly.
