Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
408 AM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Winds and seas continue to subside as the gradient weakens across
coastal waters. Only isolated to scattered storms are forecast today
with some drier air in place. However, Saturday`s forecast favors
scattered to numerous thunderstorms late in the afternoon and
evening that move offshore and impact nearshore coastal waters.
Sunday is a transition day with scattered to numerous storms
continuing before southwest flow settles in for next week, leading
to potentially widespread activity across coastal waters at nearly
anytime. Winds are expected to be light outside of thunderstorms,
with no significant wave heights forecasted through the middle of
next week.
