Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
956 PM EDT Sun Jul 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure will move from the southeast Gulf to the Middle
Gulf through Tuesday, supporting a slow turn from westerly to
northwesterly breezes.

A trough of low pressure will move westward across the Florida
Peninsula on Tuesday, and it will enter the eastern or northeast
Gulf late Tuesday night or Wednesday, crossing the waters on
Wednesday and Wednesday night. This trough has a low chance, or 20
percent chance, of tropical development during the middle to
latter part of this week, making the forecast more subject to
change. So check back early this week for updates to the forecast.
