Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
410 AM EDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure to our east and low pressure to our west creating a
tightened pressure gradient will lead to fresh breezes to
continue over our marine zones through the weekend. The muggy air
mass will support patches of sea fog. Cautionary level conditions
will likely prevail over our western marine zones for the next few
days. A strong cold front will approach late in the weekend and
for the start of the work week which will then lessen the winds
and seas will gradually subside.
