Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
949 AM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and storms continue to fire along a weak frontal boundary
that`s extending through the eastern gulf waters. Light northwest
winds less than 10 knots will persist through this evening. By
Friday morning, the front moves southeast and dissipates allowing
for high pressure to build in from the north. This will produce a
northeast through easterly wind flow over the weekend, but remaining
15 knots of less. With high pressure building into the area, some
drier air will filter into the region resulting in lower rain
chances over the weekend and into next week. No headlines are
expected.
