Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
136 AM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Generally favorable marine conditions are expected this weekend as
a stationary boundary meanders in or south of the marine zones.
The boundary will be the culprit of marine showers and storms
which may locally increase winds and seas around heavier
convection. Light winds Saturday will transition to northeast
winds Sunday into midweek as high pressure strengthens to the
north. This could lead to periods of cautionary conditions,
especially in waters west of Apalachicola. The frontal boundary
moves east Wednesday with winds decreasing while switching out of
the northwest.
