Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
830 PM EST Tue Nov 18 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light and gentle breezes will prevail through Wednesday as high
pressure settles over the waters. Areas of fog are possible across
Saint Andrews Bay Wednesday morning. As the high center moves
east and a low center approaches the Mississippi Valley on
Thursday, southeasterly and southerly winds will start to
increase. This may result in near-shore marine fog later in the
week as southerly flow returns. The probabilities would be highest
across the Apalachee Bay where cooler shelf waters could result
in some sea fog formation later in the week. Winds behind the cold
front late Saturday into Sunday will become more westerly to
northwesterly.
