Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
146 PM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A tight pressure gradient maintains advisory conditions across
waters west of the Ochlockonee River with cautionary levels closer
to the Nature Coast through at least early this week. Chances for
thunderstorms are in the forecast as a weak area of low pressure
and attendant front lifts north into the Mississippi Valley. Small
craft should exercise caution mid-week from moderate to
occasionally fresh easterly breezes. Strong high pressure building
to the north heading into the weekend appears to reintroduce
advisory northeasterly winds.
