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.
