Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
921 AM EDT Sat Sep 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered off the New England coast will be
reinforced by a stronger high pressure center on Sunday, with
this feature wedging down the southeastern seaboard through early
portions of the upcoming week. Meanwhile, low pressure will
develop over the Gulf Stream waters adjacent to the southeastern
seaboard on Sunday, with this system potentially acquiring
tropical characteristics early in the upcoming week as it moves
northwestward towards the Carolina coast. Otherwise, a stationary
frontal boundary will remain situated just south of our local
waters through midweek, bringing episodes of showers and
thunderstorms. Strengthening northeasterly winds and building seas
will bring Small Craft Advisory conditions to the Southeast
Georgia waters this afternoon. Small Craft Advisory conditions
will then overspread the rest of our local waters on Sunday and
Sunday night as northeasterly winds continue to strengthen and
seas build. Winds and seas will then gradually diminish towards
midweek as low pressure pivots northward across the coastal
Carolinas and moves towards the Mid-Atlantic states.
