Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
406 AM EDT Mon Jun 8 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

Atlantic high pressure will continue to extend its axis across our
local waters, keeping unseasonably dry weather in place through at
least midweek. Breezy east to southeasterly winds will develop
during the mid to late afternoon each day across the near shore
waters as the Atlantic sea breeze pushes inland. High pressure will
then weaken near Bermuda by Thursday and Friday, creating a
prevailing southerly wind flow that will gradually increase moisture
levels, allowing scattered to numerous afternoon and evening showers
and thunderstorms to develop across our local waters, especially
during the upcoming weekend.
