215 AM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Weak low pressure situated about 200 miles to the east-southeast
of Jacksonville, Florida early Friday morning may organize into a
Tropical Depression later this morning as it progresses west-
northwestward across the Gulf Stream waters. Bands of gusty
showers and embedded thunderstorms will increase in frequency and
intensity during the predawn hours on Friday, with this activity
continuing through late Friday afternoon before diminishing in
coverage as this weak low pressure center progresses inland.
Meanwhile, strong high pressure centered north of Bermuda will
gradually weaken as it settles southward this weekend. Small Craft
Advisory conditions will continue throughout our local waters
tonight and Friday, followed by winds and seas diminishing to
Caution levels on Friday night and then below Caution criteria on
Saturday. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will continue to
develop over our local waters this weekend and into next week as
prevailing winds become southerly ahead of a weakening surface
trough that will settle over the southeastern states through
midweek.
