GMZ700-190700- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 135 PM EST Tue Nov 18 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Light and gentle breezes will prevail through Wednesday, as high pressure settles over the waters. As the high center moves east and a low center approaches the Mississippi Valley on Thursday, southeasterly and southerly winds will start to increase. Only forecast concerns will be the possibility of 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. $$ GMZ730-751-752-755-765-770-772-775-190700- Apalachee Bay or Coastal Waters From Keaton Beach to Ochlockonee River FL out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL out 20 NM- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola FL out 20 NM- Coastal Waters From Ochlockonee River to Apalachicola Fl out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Suwannee River to Keaton Beach FL out 20 NM- Waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Apalachicola to Mexico Beach FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Suwannee River to Apalachicola FL from 20 to 60 NM- 135 PM EST Tue Nov 18 2025 /1235 PM CST Tue Nov 18 2025/ .TONIGHT...Southeast winds around 5 knots, becoming north late.
