Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
127 AM EDT Sun Aug 31 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary over the nearshore waters will continue to settle
further south into the Gulf into Tuesday. Northeasterly winds
will be light through today but will likely increase Sunday night
into Tuesday as the pressure gradient tightens. This could lead to
periods of cautionary or near-advisory conditions, especially in
waters west of Apalachicola. The frontal boundary moves east
Wednesday with winds decreasing and becoming generally westerly
later in the week.
