Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to extend its
axis westward across the northeast Florida waters through
Thursday, keeping a prevailing southerly wind flow in place across
our local waters. Evening wind surges may briefly bring speeds up
towards Caution levels, especially offshore, through midweek. A
weak cold front entering the southeastern states on Thursday may
stall over the Georgia waters by Friday, resulting in a brief
period of light and variable wind directions across our local
waters. Southwesterly winds may strengthen somewhat late in the
weekend ahead of another approaching cold front, which could
bring chances for showers and thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon
and evening.
