Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
127 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A stationary front will waver over the marine area through the
weekend bringing periods of showers and thunderstorms. Gentle
breezes will continue through the weekend with seas around 1 to 2
feet. To the north of the front, winds will be northeasterly, but
south of the front, winds will be westerly to southwesterly. The
front dips south of the marine area Sunday night into early next
week. High pressure builds in over the eastern US, tightening the
pressure gradient over the waters. Thus, winds will become moderate
to fresh out of the northeast. Cautionary conditions are possible
Sunday and Monday nights with seas building to 2 to 3 feet.
