Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
319 AM EDT Tue Jun 25 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
The ridge of high pressure south of the waters will create
westerly flow to persist across the region for much of the week.
This pattern will favor scattered showers and thunderstorms
to develop over the waters during the overnight and early morning
hours each day, shifting inland through the afternoon. Outside of
thunderstorms, winds and seas are expected to remain below
headline criteria.
