Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
244 PM EDT Wed Sep 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A stall out front will be our main focus for the rest of
the week. We are currently seeing scattered showers in the Gulf
which will continue through Thursday. As we head into Friday the
front will start to shift south before dissipating for the
weekend. At the same time we will see some drier air filtering in
from the north. This will limit shower activity for Friday and
into the weekend to mainly our southern waters. Winds will
generally stay out of the east around 5 to 10 knots through the
period.
