Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
249 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Quiet winds and seas are expected through the week as a ESE flow
gradually becomes WSW over the next few days. While the flow remains
ESE, the greatest potential for storms across coastal waters looks
to be late in the afternoon and into the evening. Strong gusty winds
could lead to locally hazardous seas as heavy rain limits
visibility. Once the winds veer more WSW, storms will become
increasingly likely at anytime, but favored more so during the
morning and midday time-frame.
