Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
908 PM EDT Thu Jun 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A weak tropical low will slowly organize offshore of the
southeast coast through the rest of this week, see the latest NHC
outlook for details on the low. Breezy east to northeast winds
over the local waters as high pressure remains to the north of the
area. A stalled front over the waters will allow for showers and
thunderstorms over the waters through Friday. Stronger high
pressure will build south from Eastern great lakes on Saturday and
push the frontal boundary south of the local waters with
decreasing chances for showers and thunderstorms. Light easterly
winds Saturday will become breezy on Sunday into early next week
as the high builds down the eastern seaboard and then shifts
northeast of the region next week.
