Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1029 AM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong high pressure will remain anchored off coastal New England
through Thursday. This feature will create gradually increasing
onshore winds and building seas across our local waters, with
Caution conditions expected tonight and then Small Craft Advisory
conditions developing on Tuesday or Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, a
trough situated to the northeast of the Bahamas will be steered
westward towards the southeastern seaboard late this week, with
weak low pressure possibly developing as this system traverses the
Gulf Stream waters. Showers and thunderstorms will increase
beginning around midweek, with activity likely continuing into
the upcoming weekend. High pressure will then weaken as it sinks
slowly southward towards Bermuda, with the axis of this surface
ridge extending across our area during the upcoming weekend. Winds
and seas will gradually diminish as prevailing winds shift to
southeasterly on Saturday and then southerly by Sunday.
