Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
307 PM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle to moderate southeast breezes will continue into Sunday.
An unseasonable round of fresh to strong easterly breezes will get
underway on Monday and continue through Wednesday, as pressure
gradients tighten between strong high pressure off the U.S. Mid-
Atlantic coast and a deepening area of tropical low pressure over
the Bay of Campeche. Seas will build in response to this and may
lead to a few rounds of Small Craft Advisory conditions. Showers
and storms will be possible each day.
