Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
153 AM EDT Sat Oct 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

The prolonged Small Craft Advisory conditions continue across the
marine area through the weekend. Strong easterly breezes remain
thanks to high pressure to the north and a stalled front to our
south. Rough seas of 5 to 7 feet are expected as well. Chances
for showers and storms increase through Monday as the front tries
lifting northward. The pressure gradient relaxes heading into
early next week, but cautionary conditions may persist through at
least Tuesday.
