GMZ700-131415- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 927 PM EDT Sat Jul 12 2025 .SYNOPSIS... The coastal waters will be under the influence of subtropical high pressure through this weekend with southwest winds maximizing near the coast with the daily seabreeze. Shower and thunderstorm chances will be greatest during the morning hours through early next week, with waterspouts possible, especially Sunday morning. Winds clock around to northwest Sunday night into Monday. As a weak trough of low pressure crosses the waters Tuesday through Thursday, winds clock around northeast to southerly. The chance that this develops into a tropical or subtropical cyclone is 20% through day 7. The main concern at this time is increased chances of showers and thunderstorms, which may lead to locally higher winds and seas. $$ GMZ735-131415- St. Andrews Bay Waterways- 827 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 .REST OF TONIGHT...West winds 5 to 10 knots.
