AMZ400-020245- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 733 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. .GULF STREAM...
