Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
950 AM EDT Mon Sep 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Small craft advisories remain in effect for the Gulf waters
through this morning in waters east of Apalachicola and this
afternoon in waters west of Apalachicola. Additional advisories
may be needed tonight into Tuesday morning as well.

As high pressure is anchored to our north and a stationary front
to our south, northeast winds between these two features will
persist into mid week. Nightly offshore surges are expected till
then with ongoing advisories currently and possibly needed tonight
as near 20 knot winds develop through Apalachee Bay transitioning
to off the panhandle coast. Towards the end of this work week,
winds slacken and clock to the west as the stationary boundary
moves eastward.
