Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
103 AM EST Mon Nov 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Winds and seas will subside today, and more tranquil boating
conditions will return through Wednesday as high pressure settles
over the waters. As the high center moves east and a low center
approaches the Mississippi Valley, southeasterly winds will
increase by Thursday. Only forecast concerns will be the
possibility of near-shore marine fog as southerly flow returns.
The probabilities would be highest across the Apalachee Bay where
cooler shelf waters could make fog development easier.
