Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
704 PM EST Tue Nov 3 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong high pressure centered off the mid-Atlantic coast will shift
further eastward tonight as a coastal trough remains situated over
near shore waters. Breezy onshore winds will maintain elevated seas
through tonight, with Small Craft Advisory conditions prevailing
offshore northeast Florida waters. Another round of showers may
develop overnight tonight across our local waters. Small Craft
Advisory conditions diminishing to Caution levels by Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a cold front will move into the southeastern states on
Wednesday night before slowing its forward progress late this week.
Southeasterly winds on Thursday will shift to southerly overnight
and then southwesterly on Friday ahead of this front, followed by
prevailing northwest to northerly winds this weekend in the wake of
the frontal passage. A reinforcing cold front will then cross our
local waters on Sunday night and Monday morning, with high pressure
building over the lower Mississippi Valley providing a surge of
breezy northwesterly winds in the wake of this frontal passage.
