Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
127 PM EDT Sun Aug 31 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary over the nearshore waters will continue to
settle further south into the Gulf into Tuesday. Northeasterly
winds will be light through the rest of the day today but will
likely increase tonight into Tuesday as the pressure gradient
tightens. This could lead to periods of cautionary or advisory
conditions, especially in the Gulf waters west of Apalachicola.
The frontal boundary moves east Wednesday with winds decreasing
and becoming generally westerly later in the week.
