Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
755 AM EST Mon Nov 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure will shift east-southeastward from the Ohio Valley
towards the Carolinas by Monday evening, pushing a weakening and
dry cold front south of our local waters. Onshore winds will
develop this afternoon while briefly strengthening, followed by
high pressure settling directly over our local waters later
tonight and Tuesday, allowing for lighter onshore winds. Weakening
high pressure will then shift offshore of the southeastern
seaboard on Wednesday and will remain in control of our weather
pattern through Saturday before another weakening cold front
enters the southeastern states. This front will likely cross our
local waters on Saturday night or Sunday, with a brief period of
breezy southwest to westerly winds expected this weekend, with a
few showers possible during the frontal passage.
