Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
739 PM EDT Wed May 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Weak Onshore flow will continue to fade through the end of the
week as a high pressure ridge builds south over the local waters,
leading to the diurnal sea breeze cycle dominating the mostly dry
weather pattern. The ridge axis will build south of the local
waters over the weekend and produce a more offshore flow and keep
the sea breeze pinned closer to the Atlantic Coast. Thunderstorm
chances will increase slightly, but mainly just isolated over the
weekend with more scattered storm activity early next week as the
next frontal boundary approaches the region from the Northwest and
continue to increase the offshore flow closer to SCEC or
potential SCA levels.
