Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
927 PM EDT Wed Sep 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

The coastal waters will remain under the influence of a ridge of
high pressure to the lee of the Appalachians through early this
weekend. By late this weekend into early next week, a southward
moving front enters the waters, with a tightening gradient in
pressure as high pressure builds in from the north. Easterly winds
become southerly by each afternoon and the evening closer to the
coast as the seabreeze develops. Shower and thunderstorm coverage
will not increase until late this weekend or early next week.
Looking ahead, there is a 30% chance of reaching advisory-level
easterly winds by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
