Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
258 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A tight pressure gradient induced by Tropical Storm Alberto in the
Bay of Campeche and a Mid-Atlantic High maintains advisory level
east winds across the waters. Although winds gradually relax today
and tonight, lingering elevated seas will still pose a hazard to
small craft into Friday morning. For this weekend, a tropical
disturbance brings about increased rain chances, followed by a
front ushering unsettled weather next week.
