Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
328 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

Surface high pressure over the western Atlantic continues to
provide moderate easterly to southeasterly breezes through the
weekend. Small craft should exercise caution today. A nearby
front increases shower and thunderstorm coverage into the weekend
before stalling over the northeastern Gulf, keeping rain chances
elevated into early next week. Winds turn more northeasterly
behind the front early next week as rain chances linger due to the
front stalling nearby.
