Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
234 AM EDT Mon Sep 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Low pressure centered along the east central Florida coast will
shift slowly southward in tandem with a frontal boundary today as
strong high pressure over New England continues to wedge down the
southeastern seaboard. Gusty northeasterly winds and elevated seas
will continue through early Tuesday, with Small Craft Advisories in
place throughout our local waters today and tonight. Bands of
showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue to impact our local
waters through midweek, as coastal troughing remains situated over
our near shore waters. Northeasterly winds will gradually weaken on
Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing for seas to gradually subside.
Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will then decrease later this
week ahead of a series of approaching cold fronts.
