Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1030 AM EST Mon Jan 20 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed mid-week as a low
pressure system moves south of the coastal waters. Brief Gale
conditions may materialize for the offshore waters between the
Okaloosa Walton County Line and Apalachicola Tuesday night as the
low passes south of the region, but confidence was not high enough
to issue a Gale Watch or Warning as this time.
