Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
927 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

The pressure gradient will continue to relax as high pressure
settles over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Another, weaker, surge
of easterly winds is expected tonight and may lead to a brief period
of cautionary conditions. A weakening line of showers and
thunderstorms could move into the western marine zones from Mexico
beach to points west that may also provide a brief stint of
exercise caution to near advisory level winds tonight. There is
some uncertainty in this feature making it to our area; however,
small craft should remain vigilant and exercise caution this
evening with these potential storms moving into our marine zones.
Light winds are forecast the rest of the week with seas generally
less than 2 feet.
