Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
828 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain in place through Monday. Ahead of the
cold front associated with the next system, winds become southerly
and increase over the coming days with wind speeds possibly
approaching advisory criteria on Tuesday. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will accompany the cold front through Tuesday. The
cold front then stalls across the northern Gulf waters by the
middle of the week with chances for scattered showers and storms
continuing. In addition, increasing winds will also support
building seas to 2-4 ft into mid week and though seas may briefly
subside as the stalled front weakens, seas should remain elevated
through the end of the week as additional disturbances approach
the area.
