AMZ400-160945- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 220 PM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Atlantic high pressure centered to the southeast of Bermuda will continue to extend its axis westward across the Florida peninsula tonight and Monday, keeping a prevailing south southwesterly wind flow across our area. Showers and thunderstorms will impact our local waters during the afternoon and early evening hours, with a few strong storms possible, bringing briefly gusty winds, frequent lightning strikes, and torrential downpours. Atlantic high pressure will then lift its axis northward towards our local waters on Tuesday and Wednesday, likely resulting in less afternoon and evening thunderstorm coverage as southeasterly winds prevail. Atlantic high pressure will then shift its axis southward across the Florida peninsula late this week as a cold front enters the southeastern states, resulting in prevailing southwesterly winds and increasing chances for late afternoon and evening thunderstorms by Friday. .GULF STREAM...
