Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
156 PM EDT Tue Jun 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light to gentle southerly to southwesterly breezes remain over the
northeastern Gulf through the middle of the week thanks to a
sprawling surface high in the western Atlantic. The high gets pushed
south on Friday, allowing for more westerly breezes to take over.
Winds become easterly to southeasterly by Saturday as strong high
pressure sets in to the north over the Mid-Atlantic. Daily
chances of showers and thunderstorms continue, especially during
the overnight and morning hours each day.
