Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
128 AM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Generally light north to northeast winds today will give way
to increasing south to southeast winds Wednesday and Thursday as a
low pressure area moves off the Florida peninsula this afternoon and
emerges into the northeast Gulf Wednesday and moves west towards the
north central Gulf coast Thursday. Small craft exercise caution
conditions are likely with at least a medium chance for small
craft advisories depending on how the low pressure evolves and
where it tracks. There is a medium chance, a 40% chance, of
tropical development as it moves over the northeastern Gulf.
